Country Club, CA, is a community in San Joaquin County experiencing an STD crisis.
In 2017, the area listed 3,993 new chlamydia infections. Two years later, in 2019, it had 4,332.
Gonorrhea is another concern in the county. From 2017 to 2019, the number of new diagnoses went from 614 in 2017 to 838 in 2019.
There are four stages of syphilis testing—primary and secondary, early non-primary non-secondary, late, and congenital. From 2015 to 2019, the number of primary and secondary syphilis cases decreased slightly, from 381 in 2017 to 209 in 2019. However, unknown duration or late syphilis diagnoses skyrocketed during the same years. In 2017, the area listed 89 new infections; in 2019, it had 240.
The public health department in San Joaquin is concerned about the rise in STD cases in their local area. They're working with state officials and community members to spread the word about regular STD testing.
Several options are available in San Joaquin County for STD testing. Many locations offer treatment and follow-up care, too.
Services are available at the Planned Parenthood Mar Monte at the North Stockton Health Center on Precissi Ln.
Community Medical Centers at CMC Cleason on S. San Joaquin St. is another option.
Some clinics provide free STD testing. Before scheduling an appointment, speak with the staff about requirements and results. These facilities have limited budgets and may need proof of income for no-cost services, and if they send the test to an outside lab, results may take longer than in other locations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2Â provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.Â
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.Â
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.Â
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.Â

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.Â
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.Â
