Madison County Health Department reports show that STD rates, including the rate of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are on the rise. In fact, communities within the county, including the county seat of Richmond, saw a significant increase in both chlamydia and gonorrhea rates from 2016 to 2017.
There was just over a 13% increase in the number of newly diagnosed cases of chlamydia in Madison County, as reports show a jump from 399 new cases in 2016 to 452 new cases in 2017. Gonorrhea rates, on the other hand, doubled over this two-year period, as the number of newly reported cases of gonorrhea spiked from 67 cases in 2016 to 138 cases in 2017.
Fortunately, syphilis rates in the county remained consistent with two newly reported cases for both 2016 and 2017.
Perhaps, most alarming is the fact that many of these newly reported STD cases involve residents between the ages of 15 and 24 years old.
According to 2018 Madison County Surveillance Reports, there were 8 newly diagnosed cases of HIV in the county in 2018 and 89 county residents were living with HIV as of June 30, 2018.
Richmond residents have access to several locations throughout the city and in nearby Lexington that might offer HIV or STD testing. Some of these health centers and clinics include Madison County Health Department, Baptist Health Urgent Care, Baptist Health Richmond Women’s Services, Central KY Urgent Care Center, AVOL Kentucky, and HIV Prevention Research.
In addition, many private doctor practices in Richmond might provide STD and HIV testing options. Many of these doctors’ offices are located just off the Eastern Bypass.
Some clinics and health care centers may advertise free STD testing. However, some clinics might not offer all STD testing options and not everyone qualifies for free services. In addition, there may be a longer wait time for test results.
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.

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.
