STD Testing Florissant MO

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sexually transmitted diseases have increased for several years, with nearly 2.5 million cases reported in 2019 alone. In Florissant, the local government has also reported an increase in STD cases, making it essential for residents to prioritize regular testing. 

Priority STD Testing provides STD testing services to residents, encouraging everyone to get tested, especially if they are sexually active. In 2020, the Health Department reported 749 cases of Chlamydia, 284 cases of Gonorrhea, and 9 cases of Syphilis in Florissant. These numbers may seem small, but they indicate a significant point increase from the previous year. Getting tested for STDs is essential to prevent the spread of infection and ensure early detection and treatment. 

Many STDs do not show symptoms, making it easy for individuals to transmit the disease to their sexual partners unknowingly. Regular testing can help to identify and treat infections before they cause serious health complications. The CDC recommends that sexually active individuals get tested for STDs at least once a year and more frequently if they have multiple sexual partners or engage in high-risk behaviors.
