Locals can also receive STD testing at Aid for AIDS of Nevada on Almond Tree Lane, the Southern Nevada Health District (Sexual Health Clinic) located on Decatur Blvd, and the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (HIV/Hepatitis B&C/ PEP / PrEP /STD) on Shadow lane.
Many STD testing sites offer free STD testing, however, some tests may not be free or comprehensive, and walk-in options may not be available. In addition, some of these locations require income and welfare eligibility to receive free STD testing.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

In a city where almost “anything goes” it might be surprising to learn that the sexual education classes in the public school system are lacking in current and pertinent information. Currently the state endorses a program that stresses abstinence, and while it does cover information on the various ways STDs can be spread there is nothing on how students can protect themselves.
Making it even harder for teens to get the information they need is the fact that the sex education program requires a parent’s permission in order for the student to participate. This means that if the information does not make it home for parents approval students are not allowed in the classes. With STD rates rising in the city this can be potentially dangerous for everyone’s health.
This is not to say that there aren’t benefits to supporting sexual abstinence. It is the best way to prevent teen pregnancy. What it is not able to do is protect students’ sexual health, and this also puts other residents at risk. One important step is regular Herpes testing in Enterprise, especially for high school students who are often the most at risk. Regular HIV testing in Enterprise is also critical, regardless of your sexual activity. Only through regular testing will the city start to see its STD rates start to go down.
It is clear that the number of sexually transmitted infections is increasing each year, and there are several reasons why. The high numbers of tourists that visit the surrounding city are contributing to the problem, especially since the majority of them will not be tested before paying a visit to The Strip.
The lack of education in the public schools is making it almost impossible for students to get the information they need, and a large number of them are not even sure how to properly use contraceptives. Not only is this putting them at risk for a venereal disease, but it can also lead to an increase in teen pregnancy rates.
One surprising new cause for the spike in the number of men who test positive for Syphilis is online dating. The number of apps that make “hook ups” easy are increasing, and now men and women do not have to spend a lot of time looking for company. While this might be beneficial for someone’s love life it is also making it easier for others to spread STDs, especially since the majority of residents do not get tested on a regular basis.
Other contributing factors to the high STD rate in the small township include a lack of health care options. There are clinics in the downtown Vegas area, but the distance makes it inconvenient for many residents to get there. The neighborhoods are often unsafe, which is also causing people to forego this important health step. Without regular testing though the city will see its STI percentages continue to go up.
While the casinos and night clubs on The Strip can make you forget about taking care of your health, this is still no reason to not get tested for all of the STDs at least twice a year. It is understandable that you don’t want to spend a whole day waiting to see a health care professional, and now you don’t have to. With one phone call you can schedule confidential STD testing at a convenient lab and still have plenty of time to try your luck at the casinos.
