Clovis, a suburb of Fresno and smack dab in The Golden State’s enormous Central Valley. Clovis is midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Like these two metropolitan burgs, the valley of Clovis suffers from vicious STD and STI transmission rates.
Since 2013 there has been a 45% increase in chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis diagnosis, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). That is a spike of more than 300,000 new infections in that time. Fresno County is ranked 6th highest in the state of California for their chlamydia diagnoses. In 2013, 6,105 new cases were reported. That’s a rate of 636.5 per 100,000 people.
By 2017, those numbers had climbed to 7,180 cases and a rate of 718.1 per 100K. Rates of gonorrhea rose from 181.6 to 225.2 per 100,000.
Primary and secondary syphilis in Fresno more than doubled between 2013 and 2017. Placing Fresno 5th highest for syphilis in California with a rate of 27.8 per 100,000 compared to only 10.5 in 2013. Worse still, in 2017 alone there were over 30 stillbirths attributed to congenital syphilis in California. The highest it has been in nearly twenty-five years. Doctors in Fresno County are concerned that not enough of the public is being regularly tested, furthering the spread of virulent diseases.

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 recent statistics released by the CDC and Fresno County Health Department the number of STDs reported each year is rising in this bedroom community. While part of the high STI rate is due to its close location next to the larger city of Fresno this does not mean that Clovis residents aren’t still at risk for contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
For the past twenty years the number of residents that test positive for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea has been steadily increasing and in 2011 the infection rate for these sexually transmitted diseases was above state averages, and still is. While Gonorrhea rates in men and women appear to be starting to decrease and the number of residents that contract Chlamydia seem to be remaining unchanged, the same is not true for Syphilis.
The number of women that contract primary and secondary Syphilis in the county is increasing each year and in 2014 it was twice that of the state average. This is particularly alarming to health officials since this venereal disease is typically more prevalent in men than women.
HIV also remains a constant concern, especially in this bedroom community where support and treatment is limited and many residents do not even realize that they might be at risk. The statistics also show that young men and women 20 to 24 years old are more likely to contract a venereal disease than residents in other age brackets.
Some of the other statistics that highlight the importance of getting testing regularly include,

In response to the growing number of residents that were testing positive for STDs the state now requires all public school districts to have medically accurate and comprehensive sex education programs for students starting in the 7th grade. While some residents feared that this was too soon for students, statistics show that teens are becoming sexually active at a younger age.
Along with including the required information on HIV/AIDS the new sex education programs also cover all of the ways STDs can be spread. The proper use of contraceptives is also discussed, along with the pros and cons associated with being sexually active. Other topics covered include how to say “no”, along with the warning signs that a relationship might become abusive. All of this is being done in an effort to protect teens and decrease their chances of contracting a sexually transmitted infection.
One of the most important subjects now covered is the importance of regular HIV testing in Clovis. Students are taught that this is the only way to detect the disease, and that the simple procedure could save their life. Regular Herpes testing in Clovis is also important, and officials hope that soon the virus won’t be as prevalent in the city’s public school system.
There are several factors that are contributing the high STD rate in the city, though steps are being taken to help residents protect themselves. Adding comprehensive sex education classes to the curriculum in public schools is already having a positive effect on the STD rates among teens, and even the number of students that graduate pregnant is also decreasing. While this is positive news more still needs to be done to ensure everyone understands how important it is to be tested on a regular basis.
A recent loss of funding for more state run clinics is making it difficult for residents to get the health care that they need. Some community health centers have been forced to close leaving residents with nowhere to go when they want to get tested. Many of these tests are no longer covered under standard insurance plans and this is making it difficult for many people to afford the cost of testing. Even the centers that were offering low cost testing are no longer able to help residents get the comprehensive care that they need.
Intravenous drug use is also on the rise, and this is being blamed for the increase in Syphilis diagnoses. Many residents do not know that their behavior is putting them at risk, especially if they are sharing needles. Until all of these problems are addressed, including the need for STD testing, the city can expect to continue to have a high rate of infection.
When you are making plans for your day it is important to remember to make time for a visit to the STI clinic to be tested for all of the sexually transmitted diseases. If you don’t want to spend the entire day in a crowded community health center but still want to take care of your sexual health, there is a faster and more convenient option. You can schedule confidential STD testing with one simple phone call and only spend a few minutes at a local lab, which still gives you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day.
