While many cities in Kentucky are noting alarming spikes in STD rates, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, communities within Boone County, including Florence, saw a decrease in these STD rates from 2016 to 2017.
After nearly doubling from 2015 to 2016, newly diagnosed cases of gonorrhea in Boone County declined from 117 new cases in 2016 to 92 new cases in 2017. Unfortunately, the county’s 2017 gonorrhea statistics are still higher than the 2015 report of 67 new cases of gonorrhea.
County reports show a three-year low for newly reported cases of chlamydia in the county, as the 2017 statistic of 358 newly reported cases of chlamydia showed a sharp decline from 2016’s figure of 462 new cases and 2015’s reports of 410 new cases.
Syphilis rates, on the other hand, fluctuated slightly from 2015 to 2017. The number of new cases dropped from one newly reported case in 2015 to no new cases in 2016, to only rise again to three newly reported cases in 2017.
According to Boone County surveillance reports from 2018, the county had 11 newly diagnosed cases of HIV and 103 county residents were living with HIV at the end of June 2018.
Residents in Florence have access to several possible STD testing locations, including Boone County Health Center, Florence VA Clinic, Florence Urgent Care, HealthPoint Family Care – Florence Office, and The Little Clinic. In addition, many private practice physicians in the city may also offer STD and HIV testing. Most of these practices are located near I-75 or US Highway 42.
Some clinics and health care centers may promote free STD testing. While this might be a good option for some, in many cases not all patients qualify for free testing and onsite after-test treatment may not be available. In addition, some clinics don’t offer appointments and may have long wait times.
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.

With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
