Oildale is a place in Kern County located near Bakersfield. Kern County reported 6,864 cases of chlamydia, 2,265 cases of gonorrhea, 698 cases of syphilis, and 152 cases of HIV.
Kern County Public Health Senior Epidemiologist Kim Hernandez suggested chlamydia cases were among the highest reported because those infected are so often asymptomatic. Just 10 percent of men experience symptoms, so the majority of those infected unknowingly pass it on to sex partners, Hernandez said.
Oildale public health is managed by the Kern County Public Health Services Department. The department develops and publishes public videos for education on STDs and offers anonymous Partner Notification. The county also offers free condoms through its clinics.
When looking for an STD testing clinic, there are some options nearby. There is a Clinica Sierra Vista North of the River Community Health Center clinic in Bakersfield on North Chester Ave. Additional clinics are the North Chester Health Center clinic on North Chester Ave and Roberts Ln and the Oildale Health Center on Roberts Ln and Higgins Dr.

Some of the clinics may offer free STD testing, while other clinics may not be as comprehensive. It is also important to keep in mind that an appointment may be required or the hours may be inconvenient and inconsistent.
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.
