There is a 45% increase in sexually transmitted diseases in California with case counts of more than 305,000. In Ventura County, Port Hueneme, the upwards trend has been all similar with cases of chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea has more than double from 2013 through to 2017.
According to the California Department of Public Health STD statistics for year 2013 and 2017, there has been significant alarming incidence increases. Gonorrhea has jumped from 333 to 714, 31 to 94 in syphilis cases and 2,520 to 2,853 cases.
In reality the STD prevalence cases could be higher than reported as most people who are sexually active fail to get screened regularly. They, however, should know the heavy burden of health that comes with untreated and undiagnosed sexually transmitted diseases.
California Department of Public Health has made sexual health a priority with control, management and prevention efforts geared towards vulnerable populations; young adults and teenagers, pregnant women and females generally, gays, and bisexuals. Campaigns are ongoing to sensitize all sexually active persons to get tested.
Port Hueneme has various public STD testing centers such as Ventura County Health Care Agency – South Oxnard Clinic, Ocean View Health Center on Olds and Oxnard COMMUNITY Clinic – Clinicas del Camino Real are some of the available options.
Even though some local clinics might offer free STD testing services along with treatment, these health centers may open and operate at different times which might be inconvenient or the clinics might not have walk-in options. In addition, these clinics might limit you to pay using only one mode of payment and the doctors might not be available on site or through the phone.
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
