Rohnert Park is a small city in Sonoma county where sexually transmitted diseases have spiked in recent years, particularly amongst homeless people. Especially syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea are becoming increasingly problematic.
From 2013 to 2018, the amount of syphilis cases increased by 460%. Chlamydia and gonorrhoea have also become significantly more prevalent. From 2008 to 2016, the amount of chlamydia cases rose from 910 to 1893 and the amount of gonorrhoea cases from 69 to 554. Luckily, the spread of HIV has declined.
Syphilis can invade the nervous system, causing – amongst other things – altered behaviour, dementia, and paralysis. This is called “neurosyphilis”. It can also invade the eyes, causing ocular syphilis. This can occur during any stage of infection.
Thankfully, there are a number of public and private testing centers available to people in Rohnert Park. Examples of public options are Rohnert Park clinic on 5900 State Farm Dr and Petaluma Health Center on 1179 N McDowell Blvd. These clinics both provide HIV testing and PrEP for free for HIV patients.
Other clinics include Roselands Pediatrics (only serves people up to 19-years old) on Stony Point Rd, the Southwest Community Health Center on Lombardi Ct, and the Brookwood Health Center on Sonoma Ave. Brookwood Health Center also serves homeless people and people who need drop-in appointments.
In case of financial struggles, there may be free STD testing available. These tests may not be comprehensive however, and results may not be immediate. Next to this, eligibility is often dependent on income.
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
