During 2006, Jefferson County made headlines because of a negative reason: STDs. The county has been recording rising STI rates, especially at the turn of 2010. Urban centers like Trussville have not been spared.
According to a Health Report Posted on Birmingham Business Journal, Jefferson County was ranked the highest region in the US with the highest syphilis prevalence in 2006. There were 238 cases, which was double 2005's count.
In 2009, the county had the highest number of chlamydia incidences in Alabama, which was 5,310. The occurrence rate was 805.2 per 100,000 populations.
To put an end to the increasing STD rates, the Partnering and Communicating Together (PACT) was formed. The program spearheads campaigns for HIV testing, treatment, and prevention. A lot of emphases, however, is put on the need for care retention to ensure people with HIV remain healthy.
You can find several STD clinics near Trussville, which may provide testing and screening services. The Jefferson County Department of Health STD Clinic situated along 6th Ave S and West Blvd Roebuck, Birmingham, is one of the options.
You may also visit the Western Health Center on Bessemer Super Hwy, Midfield or the Birmingham AIDS Outreach clinic along 32nd St S. The latter may offer STD/HIV testing and screenings on a walk-in basis.
Even though other nearby clinics in Trussville may offer low-cost or free STD testing services, most of these facilities may open at inconvenient times. Other times the health centers may have limited modes of payment, and doctors may not be accessible for consultations whether on-site or via the phone.
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.
