In 2015, 852 people were living with HIV in Pinal County and approximately 40 people are newly diagnosed each year in the county. In San Tan Valley the demographics most at risk of contracting HIV are men who engage in male-to-male sexual contact and those in inject drugs.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are the most prevalent STDs in Pinal County and San Tan Valley and there were 1,400 cases of Chlamydia and almost 450 cases of Gonorrhea in 2017 alone.
Data shows that 50 percent of those diagnosed with an STD in San Tan Valley have no symptoms, which has led health officials to suggest that all sexually active individuals should get tested, regardless of whether or not they experience symptoms.
Health officials in Pinal County have implemented a number of tactics that aim to increase STD awareness, educate residents, and limit the spread of HIV and other STDs. Examples of these tactics include posting more disease-awareness messages on the Pinal County social media pages and improving the accessibility and affordability of STD tests.
The number of HIV, Chlamydia, and Syphilis cases are increasing in San Tan Valley. If you need to get tested there are a number of public testing centers in the area including the Pinal County Public Health Services District (San Tan Valley Clinic), Sun Life Family Health Center (Coolidge Clinic), and Gila River Health Care (Hu Hu Kam Memorial Hospital).
Many public clinics offer free STD and HIV tests, but some clinics have requirements such as patient income. There are also private clinics available.
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.
