Imperial, CA, is a city in Imperial County that's fighting an STD outbreak.
Chlamydia infections are rising fast. In 2014, the area had 713 cases, and four years later, the county topped 1,000 with 1,060.
Gonorrhea is creeping up. It reported 84 in 2014, and by 2018, it jumped to 197.
Syphilis has been increasing, too. In 2014, the county recorded just 7 new cases. By 2018, the area had 17.
The Imperial County Health Department is working hard to educate the public and increase testing to stop the spread of STDs in the area. It's asking sexually active individuals to seek regular STI screenings to protect their partners.
Several locations are available for STD testing in Imperial and the surrounding areas. Many sites include treatment and follow-up care, too.
Planned Parenthood of Pacific Southwest Incorporated at the Imperial Valley Health Center on S. 4th St. in El Centro is one option.
Another choice is IV Life Center on E. Daneberg Dr. in El Centro.
Additionally, there are a few Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo locations, including the El Centro Medical Clinic on E. Daneberg Dr., the Brawley Medical Clinic on Main St. in Brawley, and Calexico Health Clinic on W. Cole Blvd. in Calexico.
Some sites may offer free STD testing. These locations sound great, but there are a few things to check first. No-cost tests may come at a price. Find out if there are hidden costs and how long it takes to get the 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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
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.
