Since 1983, a total of 4,001 HIV cases have been reported in Contra Costa County. Of the 2,075 HIV cases reported in the year 2014, 82 percent were identified as men who have sex with men.
The rate of HIV new infections has remained stable during that period ranging between 8 and 10 new infections over 100,000 residents.
The number of Chlamydia infections increased from 1,737 cases in 1998 to 4,700 cases in 2015.
On the other hand, the rate of Gonorrhoea infections fluctuated between the years 1998 to 2011. Â 602 cases were reported in 1998 and by 2015 the number had increased to 1,300.
In 1998, only 1 case of Syphilis was reported, and since then the rate has been increasing steadily with approximately 140 cases of Syphilis being reported in 2015.
The Contra Costa Department of Health’s efforts to decrease STDs rates include encouraging residents to get tested regularly, following-up of infected individuals, and sexual education and awareness.

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
