San Clemente is at the very southern end of Orange County where the incidence rate of syphilis has increased by 346% between 2010 and 2016. On the other hand, there are no cases or no data of HIV for 2018.
While Orange County’s numbers are below state averages, the county has seen a significant increase in all types of STDs over the last three years as well, according to the county’s Health Care Agency.
San Clemente public health is managed by the Orange County Health Care Agency which supports efforts to reduce rates of HIV and STDs in the area. They offer HIV planning and coordination to support prevention and care, partner services, events such as the Gay Men Summit in June, and other efforts in areas related to education, prevention, and advocacy.
There are a few options to consider within San Clemente. The Pregnancy Resource Center on Avenida De La Estrella, the Hybrid MD Urgent Care on Avenida Pico, or the San Clemente Medi-Center on South El Camino Real are a few options.
Clinics in neighboring cities include Surfside Urgent Care of Laguna Beach on Coast Hwy and the Camino Health Center in San Juan Capistrano.
While some of these clinics may offer free STD testing, there are some things to keep in mind when choosing a clinic. Not all clinics are open regular hours, an appointment may be required, some clinics are busier than others and may have long wait times, or not all tests are free.
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 CDC2 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.
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.
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.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
