Marina del Rey, CA, is a seaside community in Los Angeles County that's a major destination for boaters and recreation. The area's experiencing the spread of STDs at an unprecedented rate.
In 2017, the area reported 64,301 chlamydia infections. Two years later, in 2019, it had 69,923.
Also, in 2017, the county listed 26,088 gonorrhea cases. In 2019, that number jumped to 26,274.
There are a few measurements for syphilis—primary and secondary, early non-primary no-secondary, total early, unknown duration, and congenital (spread from mother to newborn.)
In 2017, Los Angeles County reported 4,779 total early infections. Later, in 2019, it had 6,102.
Public health officials are worried about the rising number of new STD diagnoses in the Los Angeles County area and are working to reduce the numbers through education and testing.
Several options for STD testing in the Marina del Ray, CA, area are available that also offer treatment and follow-up care.
AltaMed Medical Group in Commerce Location on E. Whittier Blvd in LA is a service provider for STIs.
Another option is the Venice Family Clinic on Rose Ave and the Westside Family Health Center on Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City.
Planned Parenthood Los Angeles Santa Monica Health Center on the 3rd St. Promenade is also a choice.
Some sites provide free STD testing. These services often are limited to a few times per week or month because they have fewer resources. Also, individuals may find the wait for results is longer for the same reasons. A low-cost facility may offer faster appointments and 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.
