Let’s Talk About It: STDs in Our Communities and How We Can Take Charge Together
As a Community Health Worker and Wellness Coach, one of my biggest goals is to help people take control of their health—mind, body, and soul. And part of that means having open, honest conversations about things that might be uncomfortable, like sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The truth is, rates of STDs are rising in many communities, and a lot of people have no idea how common they are—or how easy it can be to get tested.
Some areas are seeing higher numbers than others, with infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia becoming more widespread. I see it in my work all the time—people who want to take care of their health but don’t always know where to start, or feel embarrassed about getting tested. That’s why I always recommend STDcheck as a great option. It’s fast, confidential, and super simple. You can order your test online, visit a nearby lab, and get results quickly and privately—no awkward conversations, no long waits.
The more we normalize sexual health and make testing accessible, the healthier our communities will be. So if you’ve been putting it off or you know someone who might need a little encouragement, this is your sign. Your health matters. You matter. Let’s keep showing up for ourselves and each other.
