El Segundo, CA, is a city in Los Angeles County dealing with an STD outbreak. The numbers are going up across the board from 2016 through 2018. Chlamydia infections in 2016 hit 59,160. In 2018, three years later, the area had 68,021. Most cases in 2016 and 2018 were women. The 2018 rate was 759.5 new diagnoses per 100,000 people.
Gonorrhea diagnoses are rising. In 2016, the county reported 22,338 cases, and in 2018 it had 27,333. Most of the cases in 2016 and 2018 were male. The 2018 rate was 381.8 new infections per 100,000 people.
State health experts are concerned about the growing number of STDs in the area. To control the spread, they're asking all men and women that are sexually active to get tested every three months to protect themselves and their partners.
There are a few facilities that provide comprehensive STD testing in El Segundo and throughout LA County. Most clinics offer screenings, treatment, and follow-up care.
One location is the Expreso Medical Dental Clinic in Hawthorne Blvd. in Hawthorne. You can also try the Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles at the South Bay Health Center on Hawthorne Blvd. in Lawndale.
The South Bay Family Healthcare Center operates the Redondo Beach Clinic on Artesia Blvd. in Redondo Beach.
You may notice some free STD screening locations. These may seem like a practical choice. Before scheduling an appointment, find out which sexually transmitted diseases they check for and ask about additional service fees.
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.

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.
