State and county public health officials want to reduce the growing rate of STDs in Yucca Valley, and the surrounding areas through preventive care. They're asking all sexually active people to go for regular STI screenings to help stop the spread of these dangerous diseases.
Several health centers near Yucca Valley offer comprehensive STD testing. Many of these locations include treatment, counseling, and follow-up care.
Borrego Health operates the Desert Hot Springs Specialty Care Center on the corner of Palm Dr and Desert View Ave. This facility is accessible by public transportation. They also run the Stonewall Medical Center on Ramon Rd in Cathedral City, which has an on-site pharmacy.
The DOCK on N Sunrise Way in Palm Springs is another place with STI screenings.
Some clinics might offer free STD testing. These sites may not provide comprehensive screenings, and they might ask for proof of income. Additionally, it may not be possible to receive urgent care services, and patients could wait several days or longer for results.
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.
