Orangevale, CA, is in the middle of an STD outbreak that’s showing no signs of slowing down. In Sacramento County, where the city is located, new chlamydia cases went from 8,002 in 2013 to 9,803 in 2017. Gonorrhea infections also jumped from 2,225 in 2013 to 2,344 in 2017.
Syphilis is also making a return with 121 new, primary, and secondary infections in 2013, rising to nearly 300 in 2017.
Although the rates are higher in men than women, syphilis is a concern for pregnant women who can miscarry from the infection or have a baby born with syphilis and congenital disabilities.
The STD rates in Sacramento County are skyrocketing and leaving many area health officials scrambling to reduce the numbers through awareness and education at the local community colleges. The county had the 6th highest rate of chlamydia out of 58 counties between 2013 and 2017.
There are several locations near Orangevale that provide STD testing and related services that include treatment and follow-up care. The nearest Planned Parenthood is in the Roseville Health Center on Sunrise Ave. Parking and the facility are in the back building.

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
