Orange County STD rates have exploded, leaving health officials and residents equally concerned. Between the years 2011 and 2016 syphilis increased by 412%, gonorrhea increased by 204%, and chlamydia increased by 59%.
Up to 80% of those infected with STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea have no symptoms, meaning testing is the only sure way to know if one is infected.
Alarmingly, congenital syphilis is on the rise, too. Increasing – and alarmingly – across the United States congenital syphilis is also on the rise.
How do you protect your health? Through regular testing and preventative measures. The city of Orange offers many locations throughout the area for testing services to protect yourself and your partners. From the Obria Medical Clinics on East Chapman Avenue to the Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties Incorporated on South Tustin Street, it’s easy to find a testing center.
Events like health fairs are held during the National HIV Testing Day on June 27th, World AIDS Day on December 1st, and STD Awareness Month in April. Free STD testing is available but only during these dates. At any time of the year individuals can find services including testing, free condoms and lube, and partner services like help informing one’s partner about STD exposure. Stay healthy utilizing services available at a facility near you.
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.

You can claim that these are numbers for the county, but what happens there affects you. Every article you read have similar headlines proclaiming that STIs have hit another new high.

Testing isn't free, but they do accept insurance and Medicaid. During your phone call the staff can help you apply for financial assistance if you need it and don't have any yet.

2720 S Bristol St #110, Santa Ana, CA 92704, USA
They’re rising, STIs and close to 200 hundred clinics urge you to do something. Some are private labs, while others are walk-in or appointment only public health centers. You have a choice on where to go, though labs that are private often have speed, ease and discretion in their favor.
LabCorp manages several labs in Orange, along with Quest Diagnostics. What you might be missing here are onsite counseling, but that can be easily arranged.
Obria Medical Clinics will test for most STDs, along with HIV. Their services are limited so be prepared to accept that they might not have everything you want or need. This pertains to testing for Herpes and Hepatitis. You should also know that only certain clinics can test for any diseases at all, so ask the right questions before solidifying the appointment.
It’s nice to see that Planned Parenthood has more than one center. This helps to ensure that you can quickly get into to see a doctor. Sometimes your appointment can be that day, but don’t count on it. They are busy at all locations since they provide sexual health services for men, women and teens. You must be of age for any procedure or come with parental permission. This is not negotiable, unlike their fees.
The LGBTQ Center of OC are doing everything in their power to fight transmittable sexual diseases. They do concentrate on a specific population but won’t say “no” to anyone that comes in for a test. What they don’t offer are vaccines and screenings for infections that aren’t listed. This hasn’t limited the amount of good they have brought to Orange.
Be smart and find out if you have HIV when you check on STDs. It’ll will save you an added trip and could reduce the overall costs if there are any. Don’t you want to know your entire health status, instead of most of it?
The APAIT Center is the place many go when they desperately need a rapid HIV blood test. It is affordable, though insurance can help. Don’t just show up, they appreciate knowing when you’re coming. Hours are general business ones, though you can find them seeing patients occasionally on certain weekends. They’ll advertise ahead of time when one of these are planned. It can be more convenient since many won’t have to miss work, but this also means that they’ll be overcrowded.
If confidentiality and affordability are crucial, the AIDS Service Foundation of Orange County gives out conventional blood tests for HIV. Anyone worried about their potential results can get reassurance from a counselor, and they’ll still be there to support you when your status is revealed.
The Vietnamese Community of Orange County Inc. provides multiple health services specifically to those of Asian descent. Translators are always on hand, but they are reaching out to additional ethnic groups. You must be enrolled in the Medical Services Initiative, but once you are you can take advantage of their free and reduced rates. Feel free to just stop by, but you have a better chance of being seen that day if they already knew you were coming.
Rapid and conventional tests are also available at more than 100 privately operated labs.
The problem of STD infection in this region is so severe that health department officials have worked with legislators to develop a strategy. Mandatory sexual health education courses are provided but no one is overseeing them. What is being taught varies, and some students are missing out on everything but advice on remaining abstinent.
Organizations like Planned Parenthood have been providing education resources to communities for close to a century. Not always welcome in schools, they do have meetings and seminars that anyone can attend. Pamphlets are free for the taking, along with male contraceptives.
There is plenty going on at the LGBT Center. They are even releasing online videos to help with education. They do run off of donations so many events are billed as fundraisers, but you can still find support and information at any one of the them. Some of the fun ones include a gala ball and comedy shows. They also travel to schools that allow them in.
Education on reproductive health isn’t missing in Orange, it can just be a little harder to find than expected. Take a class, participate in an event and see what you can learn. You’ll even have fun doing so.
Orange might be a small community, but don’t count it out. Pre-1920’s homes are the norm in the old district, and palm trees dot almost every street. The warm breezes ensure that you are seldom cold. When you’re ready to explore there are plenty of nearby places to go. This also pertains to STI clinics. You’re not at a loss. Pick one and do what’s best for your health, overall and sexual.
