California is known as the Golden State and has long been a place where Americans go to pursue their dreams. The entertainment industry, the tech hubs, and the beautiful park lands as well as the ocean views and white, sandy beaches are all a part of what makes this state great. Many of the nation’s top universities are located inside our borders and rank among the most difficult to get into worldwide. What we know about Californians is they love their freedom, and this includes their sexuality which makes it of the utmost importance to visit an STD clinic regularly. Free STD Testing Centers in California are cropping up all over the place but if you prefer discrete appointments, private STD testing is also widely available.
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.

According to the most recent information from the government health statistics, California has seen an increase in all bacterial infections including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. The highest rates were found among young people, African-Americans, and men who have sex with men.
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported disease with highest levels reported since reporting was mandated in 1990.
Gonorrhea cases and rates have increased in all regions of the state with a 20% rate increase in the past three years.
Early syphilis rates have increased 29%. Of those, 63% of reported cases were among the MSM (men having sex with men) population and racial disparities were seen here as well.
California has always been a leader in the fight against AIDS. Current HIV infection rates for the state show:
New Diagnoses
Mortality
State schools implemented a new comprehensive sexual health education and HIV/AIDS prevention education beginning in January 2016. Educators across the state were provided:
The evidence-based sexual health programming includes teen pregnancy prevention curriculum for grades 7 to 12 and the California Healthy Youth Act and Sexual Harassment and Violence Instruction. Both curricula are designed to discuss preventing sexually transmitted diseases replacing the abstinence-before-marriage based curriculum that has been used in the past and is still in use in many states.
Since California has always been a strong influencer in the sexual health revolution, education and outreach are prioritized by our government. Ongoing attention to education, early diagnosis, treatment and follow-up are all part of the state health plan. This includes specific attention to at risk populations like those living in poverty, those with language barriers, addicted populations, transgender and incarcerated populations.
Demographics play a key role in the racial disparities around STD rates in California. Root causes like racism, poverty, education policies and laws contribute to the rising STD rates. State census data shows the following trends.
We began reporting of AIDS cases began in March 1983. HIV reporting began in April 2006. Statistics are showing that currently the greatest number of people living with HIV is in the 30 to 39-year-old age range. The highest population is men who have sex with men followed by heterosexual and injection drug users. The racial proportion is highest in the white population followed by the Hispanic population and then the black population.
The CDC says with most STD cases going undiagnosed and untreated, people are at “risk for severe and often irreversible health consequences,” including infertility, chronic pain and increased transmission of HIV. Treating STDs costs the state roughly $16 billion annually.
The medical director for Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties, said each year the group performs more than 180,000 exams and 170,000 STD tests. In Los Angeles, LA Condom distributes more than 2 million free condoms each year at 500 locations ranging from tattoo parlors to gyms to restaurants.
It’s clear that despite challenges presented by President Trump’s changes to Planned Parenthood funding and Obama-care, Californians continue to lead the nation in their quest for sexual health for all.
Currently, testing can happen:
Sexual health for Cali means all citizens are entitled to have education, testing, diagnosis and treatment despite their financial and racial background. Check the California Department of Health or CDC websites to find and access facilities in your neighborhood. Together, we can take control of our sexual health, keeping our state at of the bottom of the list for new infections and maintaining our reputation of a healthy place to live.
