Overland Park is the second most populated city in Kansas, and home to Sprint. Though part of the Kansas City metropolitan area, its STD rates are lower than Kansas City’s.
In 2015, Johnson County had an HIV prevalence rate of 125 per 100K people. But don’t get too smug—since HIV is preventable, that number should be zero. Health officials believe people have become complacent about HIV and other STDs since the 1980s AIDS scare has faded away and people with the virus are living longer due to treatment.
As far as bacterial STIs are concerned, Johnson County had 2,017 chlamydia cases in 2017, at a rate of 345.1 per 100K people. The gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 99.4 and 2.6.
Health officials urge sexually active people to be tested often, even if they are not showing any symptoms.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Overland Park and surrounding areas. There is one nonprofit that provides free STD testing, but only for HIV and syphilis (you’ll have to go elsewhere for treatment). Planned Parenthood is located on 109th St. They test for STIs and treat all except HIV, and your fee is on a sliding scale based on your income. The CVS MinuteClinic does basic STD screenings.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.

Even though statistics has shown that one of the best methods of preventing the spread of STDs is through education, most school officials and parents prefer to concentrate on abstinence.
The abstinence only program does help to reduce the number of teen pregnancies, but it does nothing to stop the spread of sexually transmitted infections. The importance of always practicing safe sexual practices is not covered, though most schools do discuss many of the myths surrounding HIV/AIDS.
The majority of teens and their parents do not realize that it is possible to contract a STD without being sexually active. Not all sexually transmitted infections occur through sexual penetration during intercourse, and some are often only detected through regular testing. Some STDs do no display any noticeable symptoms, making it easy to unknowingly spread the infection.
Regular Herpes testing in Overland Park is important, and the simple procedure could help stop the spread of this viral infection. This also applies to HIV testing in Overland Park.
Demographics play an important role in the STD rate for an area, and this includes ethnicity, along with age, gender, and income. Religious and cultural beliefs will also affect the infection rate for an area, and this is true in Overland Park and surrounding Johnson County.
While the population is mainly Caucasian, it is the Hispanics and African American residents who are at a higher risk of contracting an STD. Part of this is due to cultural and religious beliefs that frown on sexual activity before marriage, and from a lack of affordable health care in their communities.
These are also the same residents who often live in the city’s lower income neighborhoods were it can be difficult to find community health centers, and many of these families cannot afford regular testing. Adding to the problem is the lack of sexual education programs in the classroom.
College students are also finding themselves at an increased risk, especially when they become sexually active. The lack of available information can cause many students to believe that as long as they wear a condom they are not at risk. Since some STDs can be spread through casual contact, practicing safe sex still won’t protect against all of the transmittable diseases.
Your sexual health, so before you head off to play some holes at the championship golf course. There are community centers that residents can take advantage of, but the long lines many people saying that they don’t have time for this. Scheduling confidential STD testing with one quick and easy phone call at a local lab, is effective and if you go in the late morning you’ll still get to enjoy lunch and the beautiful scenery at the Convention Center.
