Monterey, California, is experiencing an STD epidemic. All sexually transmitted infections are increasing, the number of new chlamydia cases in Monterey County where the city is located, went from 1,570 in 2013 to 2,144 in 2017. The majority of new infections in 2017 were women, ages 15 to 24.
Gonorrhea is also rising with 363 in 2013 jumping to 420 in 2017. Nearly half of all new cases in 2017 were males, ages 15 to 24.
Syphilis has made a resurgence in the county. The number of new infections went from 31 in 2013 to 41 in 2017. Although rare, Monterey had no congenital syphilis cases in 2013, but in 2017, one infant was born with the infection.
Health officials in Monterey County are concerned with the rising rates of STDs among young men and women. They’re hoping to reduce the number of new infections through education, testing, and treatment.
There are dozens of locations in Monterey and the surrounding area that provide STI testing. Many of these sites include sexual health education, treatment, and follow-up care, too.
Screenings are available at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula through the Outpatient Immunology Department on Holman Highway. The site is on a public bus route and near a ChargePoint Charging Station.
For the nearest Planned Parenthood, there is a site at the Seaside Health Center on Hilby Ave. Off-street parking is available, and it’s a short distance to a public bus stop.
Some STD testing clinics may offer free services. These locations could require proof of income, and you might experience long wait times. Also, free STI screenings may not have immediate 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.
