Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and Chlamydia were among the STIs affecting the residents of San Joaquin County. There was a rise in Chlamydia incidences from 3,538 to 3,570 in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Each year more residents in San Joaquin County continue to test positive for Gonorrhea. The diagnoses were projected to be around 1,003 at the end of 2014, and in 2015, the county data reports indicated the surging of cases to 1,252.
In San Joaquin County, primary and Secondary Syphilis infections exhibited an upward trend. For example, the 86 incidences reported in 2014 rose to 129 in 2015.
San Joaquin County Department of Health has teamed up with community agencies, churches, schools, and faith-based and non-governmental organizations to reach high-risk groups and those already infected with STDs or HIV. Due to this collaboration, many residents in Mountain House, CA, have gained access to condoms and linked to sexual health resources.

During community outreach, you may be able to receive free STD testing. However, wait times may be inconsistent because the demand for the services could be high, and the screening could be uncomfortable or invasive, especially swabbing.
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
