Stoneham, a town in Middlesex County, saw an increase in the number of HIV cases over the last 5 years. The infections rose from about 3,200 at a rate of 250 in 2014 to 3,482 at a rate of 262 in 2017.
Chlamydia had the highest incidence rate in Middlesex County. By 2015, the incidence rate of Chlamydia among the Middlesex residents was estimated to be at a rate of 101 per 100,000 population.
The incidence rate of Gonorrhea infections rose over the past few years in the county. The bacterial infection had an incidence rate of about 20 percent in 2015, a trend attributed to reckless sexual behavior among teenagers and young adults in the county.
Syphilis infections were more prevalent in the male population, and by 2015, the infection rate was 8 per 100,000 persons.
The Middlesex County Department of Health strategy of reducing the number of STD/HIV infections in the county involves providing financial assistance to non-governmental organizations that work with young adults, adolescents, and men who have sex. It also works with CDC-funded programs that target the high-risk population.

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.
