Situated just a few miles from Manhattan, Wood-Ridge, NJ, is fast becoming popular for people and young families looking for affordable housing close to the big city. Thus, it’s not surprising HIV/STD cases are still a problem.
Over the years, HIV infections have been on the rise, with 62 cases reported in 2018, 66 in 2019, and in 2020, they dropped to 50, largely due to the pandemic. But at the end of 2021, the number of persons who tested positive for HIV had increased to 68.
Chlamydia infections fell from 2,388 in 2019 to 1,873 in 2020. But in 2021, the incidences rose to 2,119. Most young people between 20 to 24 years tested positive for this STI, accounting for 837 infections in 2021.
Gonorrhea infections were inconsistent. For instance, the cases dropped from 460 to 446 in 2019 and 2020 but rose sharply to 541 in 2021. Persons aged 20 to 34 made up most of those cases.
There were 10 cases of Primary Syphilis in 2019 and 17 in 2020, while Secondary Syphilis registered 34 incidences in 2019 and 26 in 2020. In 2021, there were 17 incidences of Primary Syphilis and 34 incidences of Secondary Syphilis.
To prevent and control the spread of STDs, the Bergen County Department of Health Services works with the New Jersey Department of Health to ensure education, prevention, assistance, and treatment services are available through the STD Program.
Wood-Ridge, NJ, is home to facilities such as Planned Parenthood - Hackensack Health Center, My Doc Urgent Care in Garfield, Bergen County Department of Health Services, and Passaic Health Department, known to deliver quality sexual health services.
Free STD testing may be available in some facilities but only through appointment. In some cases, it might take a few days before you can get results.
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.
