Arapahoe County, where Greenwood Village is a home rule municipality, has experienced a steady increase in the number of individuals diagnosed with HIV, over the past few years. A rate of 1,270 per 100,000 individuals in both 2018 and 2019 represented a 22.0% increase from 1,041 reported in 2015. Sadly, there was an upward surge to a prevalence rate of 1,499 in 2020.
Chlamydia infections in the county showed fluctuations, with a decrease from an incidence rate of 583.9 per 100,000 individuals in 2015 to 578.0 in 2017, followed by a spike to 640.7 in 2018. Females recorded a higher number of infections than males.
There was an escalation in Gonorrhea infections from 106.9 per 100,000 persons in 2015 to 187.6 in 2017, before a slight drop to 178.0 in the following year.
The incidence rate of primary and secondary Syphilis infections in the county dropped from 6.7 per 100,000 individuals in 2016 to 4.5 in 2017, followed by an upward surge to 6.3 in 2018. Individuals aged 25 to 34 years showed the highest number of diagnoses.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) works with local healthcare providers to deliver sexual health education to members of the public, including young adults and teens, in efforts to mitigate the spread of STD/HIV throughout the state, including Arapahoe County. Its STI/HIV program entails partner services, case management, linkage to care, and both State Drug Assistance and Public Health Intervention Programs that helps individuals to access costly HIV medication, including PrEP.
You can access quality STD/HIV testing at various clinics, including Planned Parenthood - Littleton Health Center, AFC Urgent Care Centennial, and Littleton Adventist Hospital.
Also, some local hospitals within the home rule municipality offer free STD testing, but people will know why you’re here, and some tests are free, not comprehensive.
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.
