Oklahoma has some of the highest STD rates in the country. Health officials blame hook-up apps and injected drug use for the rising rates, but insufficient sexual education also plays a part. Young people, especially, do not understand the risk of unsafe sex and the importance of using protection.
As part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area and as a college town, Norman’s rates are higher than some of the surrounding areas, but lower than those of Oklahoma City and the state average.
In 2015, Cleveland County’s HIV prevalence rate was 127 per 100K people. Oklahoma’s rate was 179 and Oklahoma City’s was 330. Cleveland County had 1,206 chlamydia cases in 2015, at a rate of 439.4. The gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 93.6 and 4.7.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Norman, and even more options if you can get to Oklahoma City (and it may be easier to find free STD testing in larger cities). The Cleveland County Health Department on 12th Ave offers testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV.
The University of Oklahoma Health Services provides STI testing for students. The Eden Clinic, on Lindsey St, offers STI screening and treatment.
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.

Ranking 3rd in the nation for its high teen birth rates one would expect that implementing sexual education programs in the public schools would be a top priority for law makers, but this is not the case. Instead of wanting to teach students how to protect themselves from STDs and unplanned pregnancies state law makers have proposed a bill that would make it mandatory for all high schools to teach students information that would discourage them from getting an abortion. This wouldn’t necessarily be a problem, except for the fact that the majority of the state’s public high schools do not even have an abstinence based sexual education program.
If there are not even classes that deal with the human reproduction system or even the changes the body faces during puberty, it is hard to see how a program that only stresses the negative aspects of abortion will be able to lower the states abnormally high teen pregnancy rates.
With only a few miles of highway separating it from the state capitol, it is not uncommon for residents to get away for a night or a weekend. While the close proximity to the larger capitol city does ensure that residents have plenty of entertaining things to see and do, it is also contributing to the area’s high STD rate.
Residents often engaged in risky behavior when they are away from home, which can put them at risk for contracting a STD. Without regular testing some residents might not even know that they have contracted an STD until they have already infected others.
The state does not require any type of program in schools, including those center around abstinence. Without the information residents need to know how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases the number of those infected will continue to rise. The lack of education is also why the state is ranked among the top 5 for its high teen pregnancy rate.
With STD rates continuing to rise each year and state law makers refusing to take proactive steps, it is up to you. Even though budget cuts and new state laws has forced many clinics and community health centers to close their doors, there are still a few places residents can go to be tested for STDs. If you don’t want to stand in long lines or are worried about running into someone you know, you can schedule confidential STD testing with one quick and easy phone call.
