La Riviera, CA, is a small district in the Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville metro area. The Sacramento County community is experiencing an STD crisis.
From 2015 to 2019, Sacramento County ranked #6 statewide for total chlamydia cases, with 8,413 in 2015 and 11,233 in 2019.
Also, from 2015 to 2019, the area ranked #6 in California for new gonorrhea infections. In 2015, the county listed 2,867 new infections, and in 2019, it had 4,297.
Primary and secondary syphilis cases are also rising in Sacramento County. From 2015 to 2019, the area ranked #8 in the state for total primary and secondary infections, with 224 in 2015 and 437 in 2019.
State and county public health officials are working to reduce the spread of STDs through education and testing. As part of the approach, they ask residents and visitors to seek STD testing to protect themselves and their partners.
Several options in La Riviera, CA, and Sacramento County provide comprehensive STD testing, treatment, and follow-up care.
Services are available at WellSpace Health Rancho Cordova Community Health Center on Old Placerville Rd in Sacramento.
Another option is Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center on Morse Ave. or the Sacramento Life Center Sacramento Valley Pregnancy Clinic on Bell Executive Ln.
Also, testing is available at One Community Health Arden-Arcade Campus on Ethan Way in Sacramento.
Many sites offer free STD testing. Before scheduling an appointment, find out if proof of income is necessary for no-cost services. Also, ask about additional fees. Hidden costs can reduce the appeal of a free STD testing facility.
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
