New Hampshire has some of the lowest STD rates in the US, but Nashua health officials are worried about gonorrhea, which is increasing. There were more cases in 2016 alone than there were in the years from 2007 to 2013 combined, an increase of over 250%.
The problem with gonorrhea is that there is only one medicine left that can treat it, and the disease is becoming resistant to the antibiotic. Now, the focus must be on prevention. Health officials urge all sexually active people to use protection every time and get tested often, even if they are not experiencing symptoms.
In 2016, Hillsborough County had an HIV prevalence rate of 146.2 per 100K people, above New Hampshire’s rate of 101.5. The same year, Hillsborough County had a chlamydia rate of 307.9 per 100K people, in comparison to the state rate of 260.6. The gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 60.7 and 3.9.

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.

If a public school does decide to offer sex education it must include information on STDs and HIV/AIDS, and be abstinence based. This means that while teens do receive some information on how STDs can be spread, they are still taught that simply abstaining from sex until marriage is the best and only effective to prevent contracting a venereal disease.
While some information is usually better than none, in this case it can actually increase residents chances for contracting a STD, even if they aren’t sexually active. What this information does is give students a false sense of security and it can lead them to mistakenly believe that as long as they abstain for sex they will never contract a transmittable disease.
Advances in health care are making it possible for older adults to stay sexually active longer. Budget cuts to health care, especially Medicaid is making it difficult for some lower income residents to afford it even if they believe that they may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
These same budget cuts have also forced some of the city’s testing facilities to close their doors or only stay open for a limited amount of time.
With the increasing popularity of dating apps that are making it easier than ever for teens and adults to “hook up” not knowing how to protect yourself from STDs is more important than ever.
Even if you think there’s no chance, make sure at a STI clinic. Most types of insurance are accepted and it’s affordable if you don’t have any. Results are procurred quickly and you’ll get them discreetly. Afterwards, reward yourself with a stroll along the Nasua River dam.
