(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 18, 2015 ) St. Louis, Mo. -- With a mission to provide accessible and affordable healthcare while respecting and protecting patient privacy through being committed to quality of service, Rapid Screening Center announces that their Rapid STD Testing Service is now expanding to the state of Georgia.
According to the State of Georgia Health Department statistics, that 'in 2011, an estimated 2,520 adults and adolescents were diagnosed with HIV in Georgia. Georgia was ranked 5th among the 50 states in the number of HIV diagnoses in 2011'. Georgia now ranks 1st in rates of Primary and Secondary syphilis among the 50 states with 9.4 cases per 100,000 in 2008, and 9.5 cases diagnosed per 100,000 in 2012. Additionally, they reported that Georgia 'ranked 8th among the 50 states in chlamydial infections with 534 per 100,000 persons and 5th among the 50 states for gonorrheal infections with 156.1 per 100,000 persons.
Some of the most alarming sexual health statistics in Georgia are centered on HIV/Aids. As of 2008, there were 2,926 new HIV infections reported with the largest segment being among African-American gay and bisexual men. These cases accounted for 63% of all HIV and AIDS cases reported in Georgia 43% of the overall state total. African-Americans, though, only comprise 28% of the state population.
When it comes to sexual health in the state of Georgia, the African-American population seems at a higher risk, most likely due to health inequality. That is one reason the Testing Clinics are expanding to over 87 convenient locations throughout the state where tests are privately and professionally done.
STD Testing Georgia Centers are proud to offer fast testing done in a private setting with accurate results. Results are often provided the same-day testing, and testing is completed within 15 minutes. Their physicians can provide medications or referrals. No appointments are necessary, and all information remains private and secure.
