Akron STD Testing

According to the Ohio Department of Health, Summit County has one of the highest chlamydia and gonorrhea rates in the state and both are on the rise year over year. In 2015, for example, Summit County reported a rate of 496.5 chlamydia cases and 188.6 gonorrhea cases per 100,000 residents. In 2019, those figures had skyrocketed to 640.8 and 241.2 respectively. These figures are substantially higher than the state average which also climbed from 489.9 to 561.9 for chlamydia and 143.1 to 224.0 for gonorrhea.

Remember, more often than not, sexually transmitted diseases are asymptomatic which means you may very well contract or pass along an STD without even knowing it. As rates in Akron, Summit County, and the entire state of Ohio continue to increase year after year, it is more important than ever before for sexually active adults to seek out reputable STD testing services. With Priority STD Testing, you’ll have the most  convenient access to affordable and confidential STD testing Akron has to offer. Simply order online and stop by our Akron STD testing center (605 N Cleveland Massillon) or any Ohio site for quick and immediate STD testing. You’ll have comprehensive results in as little as 24-72 hours.

How accurate are my test results?
