While STD rates are on the rise across the country, rates in Saratoga County, including those in the city of Wilton, have remained fairly consistent from 2016 to 2018
In fact, chlamydia and syphilis (primary and secondary) rates have actually dropped over this three-year period. The number of new chlamydia cases fell slightly from 549 cases in 2016 to 547 cases in 2018, while the number of syphilis cases decreased from 7 newly reported cases in 2016 to only 2 cases in 2018.
On the other hand, the number of newly diagnosed gonorrhea cases increased by 12%, as the number rose marginally from 65 cases in 2016 to 73 cases in 2018.
Unfortunately, many of these newly reported cases involve the community’s teenagers and young adults between 15 and 26-years old.
Saratoga County’s comprehensive HIV surveillance reports revealed that 130 county residents were living with AIDS as of December 31, 2018.
While STD and HIV testing options are limited in the city of Wilton, residents can travel to nearby Saratoga Springs for access to several possible testing locations, including the Saratoga County Public Health Services Center and Planned Parenthood – Saratoga Springs Health Center.
Some clinics may advertise low-cost or free STD testing. However, it’s important to note that these clinics may have strict eligibility requirements. Additionally, some clinics maintain irregular hours and have long wait times.
Moreover, some general practice physicians in Wilton and Saratoga Springs may also offer HIV and STD testing.
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.

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.
