Superior, WI, the county seat of Douglas County, is experiencing an STD outbreak.
In 2016, the county reported 126 new chlamydia infections. A year later, in 2017, it went up to 142 cases with women having the highest rate at 482 diagnoses per 100,000 residents.
Gonorrhea is also increasing in the county with 15 new diagnoses in 2016, rising to 25. Women had nearly 70% of all diagnoses.
Men and women between the ages of 20 and 24 had the highest STI rates in the county in 2017, followed by 25-29-year-olds. All new infections were in the Western region of the county.
County health officials in Douglas are concerned about the growing number of STD infections in the area and are asking sexually active individuals to get tested regularly to keep themselves and their partners safe from these diseases.
There are dozens of locations in and near Superior that offer comprehensive STD testing. Many of these clinics include related services such as treatment and aftercare.
Screenings are available at the Douglas County Department of Health and Human Services at the Public Health Nursing Division on the corner of Cumming Ave and N 14th St in Superior.
Another option is the Health Care Clinic on N 28th St at the Mariner Mall in Superior.
Some locations may provide free STD testing. Proof of income might be required, and free services might not include treatment or any follow-up care. Additionally, securing an appointment at these clinics might be difficult.
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.
