Introduction

What are the STI test options in Nebraska?

You might think that there’s little to do in Nebraska, but you’d be wrong. With various museums such as the Museum of American Speed and Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museums, there’s a great deal of unexpected knowledge available for everyone. Speaking of unexpected, did you know that nearly half of the population will have an STD in their lifetime? That’s a big number. While cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are low overall in Nebraska compared to the national average, you can still be infected. How do you know if you’ve been infected? You get tested. There are several free clinics in the area, but wait times might be long. Instead, you can make a phone call and find a local lab that can see you in less than half an hour. That leaves plenty of time to tour the national landmarks.

Additional STD Test Statistics in Nebraska

Don’t let the overall statistic of low overall STD rates in the state fool you. The rate of some sexually transmitted diseases in Nebraska has been on the rise in urban areas such as Douglas County for the past 5 years. Cases of chlamydia have increased by over 25%. Much of the STD cases are Most urban areas; however, anyone who is sexually active is at risk.

Nebraska has several testing sites all over the state. In urban areas, there are more testing centers to accommodate the higher populations. Counties often share testing sites in rural areas.

Sexually transmitted diseases are bacterial or viral infections spread through sexual contact. With the number of cases increasing across the country, it has never been so important to get tested regularly if you are sexually active. Many people infected with STDs never show symptoms which makes it more important to get tested.

Some quick facts from the CDC:

  • In 2013 31% of high school students had sexual intercourse – 62% did not use a condom
  • Nebraska rates 39th in Syphilis cases
  • Reported rates of Chlamydia among women were 2.2 times higher than those among men
  • Reported cases of Hepatitis A, B and C has declined

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Nebraska

The Nebraska Board of Education recommends an abstinence -based sexual education program, but no schools are required to teach it. With school budget cuts, this types of education may or may not make it to the curriculum especially with struggling school systems. This often leaves a vast gap of knowledge in Nebraska’s youth that leaves them susceptible to early sexual encounters and sexually transmitted diseases.

Sex education across the U.S. advocates abstinence as the only way to prevent teen pregnancy and STDs. Depending on the state, it can be a comprehensive study of sexuality or a brief overview of sex. States that have optional sex education programs often rank near the national average on stats on teen births and STD rates among teens.

Quick facts on teen pregnancies

  • In 2011 Nebraska had 27 teen pregnancies per 1,000 females age 15-19
  • The teen pregnancy rate has dropped since 1991 when the teen pregnancy rate was 62
  • 54% of teen pregnancies in 2011 listed ethnicity as white
  • 90% of teen pregnancies in 2011 were unmarried females
  • 37% of females in 2011 said they had had sex. 3% of those said they had sex before the age of 13

Some of these stats are not unique to the county. It makes it very clear that teens are sexually active at a young age.

Routine screenings are especially important if you are sexually active and a teen. If you are worried about your parents finding out, STD screenings are available for teens even without parental consent. However, in some instances, parents or guardians can be notified that services have been received because of legal or billing regulations.

This should not stop you from being tested. Many STD’s can be cured or managed with the right treatment. Chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are all bacterial infections which can be cured by antibiotics if they are caught early. Other infections such as herpes and genital warts are manageable with the right medications.

The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested.

Nebraska has a very diverse population demographics. With two large metropolitan centers, nearly 90% of the towns have a population of under 3,000. While this might seem of little concern to some, when it comes to STD it makes a huge difference.

Nebraska like many states with large rural areas must focus on two very different demographics. The STD rates in the urban areas are high while the rural rates are low. Nebraska has to focus on educating the urban areas without alienating the rural areas.

But the message is clear no matter where you live. Anyone who is sexually active is at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Your risk is increased by certain factors such as:

  • Have you, or your partner had several partners?
  • Have you or your partner been diagnosed with an STD?
  • Do you use a condom during every sexual encounter?
  • Are you a teen?
  • Are you a male and have had sexual relations with another male?
  • Are you female?
  • Are you black or Hispanic?

While many STDs can be cured if caught early, some infections can only be managed with medications. Not every infection results in symptoms which make it more difficult to determine if you have been infected. The only sure way to know is to be tested.
