North Cleveland, OK has the quiet pace of a small, rural community. It is located just a few miles from Moore, OK and a few minutes from the excitement and amenities of Oklahoma City. Rates of chlamydia have risen by 15% in Cleveland County since 2013. In addition, syphilis is up 38%. The number of cases of gonorrhea rose by 22%.
These alarming increases pose a significant risk to population of North Cleveland and Cleveland county. According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the number one reason for this rise is that people fail to get tested and take appropriate precautions to prevent the spread of these diseases.

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.

1623 S Utica Ave, Tulsa, OK 74104, USA
The public school district in this small city is already dealing with a few challenges, excluding its lack of a comprehensive sex education program. Even though there are only a few public schools, it is also important to remember that the small population equals limited tax revenue going to fund education. In order to keep the schools operating much of the funding is coming from the state and federal government.
While the additional revenue is vital for educators’ salaries and necessary maintenance on the aging buildings, it also comes with stipulations regarding the information taught in health classes.
Abstinence is encouraged, and students are taught that it can protect them from sexually transmitted diseases. While it is true that abstaining from sexual activity will lower your risk of contracting a venereal disease, it is not 100 percent effective. The high rate of teen pregnancies in the area also shows that many students are becoming sexually active, and that promoting abstinence until marriage is no longer effective.
Without comprehensive sexual education classes most students do not realize that regular Herpes testing in North Cleveland can help prevent the spread of the virus. Regular HIV testing in North Cleveland is also vital for your health, especially since the number of residents infected with the disease is rising.
This neighborhood might have a small population, but it is diverse. The majority of residents are Caucasian, followed by Native Americans. This is the main reason that the STD percentages differ from national averages, but it also does not mean that other ethnicities are not equally at risk.
The lack of comprehensive sex education programs remains the biggest reason for the increasing STD rates, especially among teens. As social media continues to promote sexual activity, even teens in this rural community are no longer willing to abstain from intercourse until marriage.
A limited number of health care facilities is making it difficult for many residents to be tested, and most do not want to run into a friend or family member at the few places that are open. The community centers are also only open for brief periods of time, and this is contributing to the problem.
Over the past twenty years older residents are testing positive for Syphilis, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, and much of this is due to increased illegal drug use. As more adults are treated for opioid addictions, health officials are also noticing that the number of STIs reported are increasing.
North Cleveland also has a high rate of unemployment, which is making it impossible for these residents to afford regular health care that includes STD testing. As long as these and the city’s other problems remain, residents can expect to also see an increase in STD percentages.
Residents who want to take care of their sexual health are finding that it can be difficult in this rural community. Not only are the very few places to go, most do not look forward to standing in line with people that they know. Now you can avoid your family and neighbors and still take care of your health, simply by making one quick and easy phone call. You can schedule confidential STD testing at your convenience, and only spend a few minutes at a local lab. Not only will the procedure take a short time, you also don’t have to worry about anyone finding out.
