La Mirada is a city within Los Angeles county where the prevalence of HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis is 69.7, 60.6, and 12.1 respectively for every 100,000 people. Although when compared to Los Angeles county at 491.7, 179.5, and 33.3 for HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis, sexually transmitted diseases still remain a significant public health concern. In Los Angeles county alone, there is an estimated 50,000 people living with HIV.
“More than 300,000 cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis were reported in 2017, a 45 percent increase from five years ago, according to data released by the California Department of Public Health.”
The Los Angeles County Health Department has sought to alleviate the problem through programs and initiatives such as social media advocacy, education, distribution of free condoms, and supporting the destigmatization and acceptance of groups that are at high risk. Statistics show these high risk groups include the poor and people-of-color communities.
La Mirada is incorporated into the public health department of Los Angeles County and is managed along with a number of nearby cities under service planning area seven. There are no free std clinics within La Mirada, but there is a public testing center nearby in Whittier with others in Compton and Torrance.
These testing centers may be free, but there are some limitations. The clinics may require an appointment, hours and availability may not be consistent, results may not be available immediately, only some tests are free, or may have inconvenient and limited hours.
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.
