In Ramsey County, efforts are underway to stop the ever-rising number of annual STD counts in the region. The Healthy People 2020 set the goal of maintaining a prevalence lower than 251.9 cases per 100,000 populations in females and 194.8 in males.
According to an STD Surveillance Report for Ramsey County, in 2017, health officials recorded 1,184 incidences of gonorrhea with a rate of 233.0. In 2016, gonorrhea incident rate in males was 369.0 and 402.0 in females, which falls short of the Healthy People 2020 target.
In 2017, Ramsey County documented a chlamydia rate of 660.0, while in 2016, there was a total of 119 syphilis incidences.
There is a need for people to access HIV care services. The "Partnering and Communicating Together (PACT)" was established to educate people about testing, treatment, prevention, and care retention for persons disproportionately affected by HIV, including senior citizens.
If you're searching for testing clinics, you can visit the Ramsey County Health Department STD Specialty clinic. You may also head down to Vandalia St in St. Paul where you'll find the Planned Parenthood Health Center.
Alternatively, you may receive STD/HIV testing and treatment services from the Hennepin County Public Health's Red Door Clinic on Portland Ave S, Minneapolis. Another option is the Aliveness Project clinic situated on Nicollet Ave.
To expand testing services, there are other nearby clinics that might provide free STD testing services within the city. The only challenges with these clinics include doctor may be unavailable on-site or you might be charged extra fee to seek consultation services. Moreover, there might be no after care prescription if your results turn positive.
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.
