STD rates in Fulton County have reached worrying levels. There is a need to expand prevention and treatment systems because if nothing is done, the STD burden and its impact on the economy and health of the population will worsen.
In a CDC STD Report (2014-2015) posted on Patch.com, 4,990 individuals in Fulton County were newly diagnosed with chlamydia, taking the prevalence rate to 500.8 cases per 100,000 populations. The county health professionals also recorded 2.244 gonorrhea incidences with morbidity of 225.2.
Additionally, there were 450 new cases of syphilis in the county. The infection had an incident rate of 45.2, which was higher than the state's 14.0.
Let's Stop HIV Together was created to offer mass education programs on HIV, its prevention, risk reduction among the vulnerable groups, and ending the stigma. The program brings together different health organizations, agencies, and the HIV community to promote care services and prevent further spread.
To effectively prevent the transmission of STDs, it is critical to seek testing and screening services. The Fulton County Health Department STI Clinic located along Park Place South S.E is one of the STD care centers.
Another option is the Adamsville Regional Health Center which lies along Martin Luther King Jr Dr in Atlanta. The clinic might provide HIV primary care, including oral HIV testing.
You can also consider local clinics within Union City that might offer free STD testing, but you may not have a chance to consult a doctor because they may not present on-site. Additionally, they may have inadequate prescriptions for post-test care and the results are not immediately released.
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.
