Though the syphilis rate for Riverside County was 10.8 per 100K people in 2017, with 259 cases reported, health officials believe the rate in Palm Springs was over 100, possibly 185 in North Palm Springs.
They blame the public health infrastructure, which is currently weak and underfunded, and they stress that everyone should use protection and get tested regularly, since it is easy to cure most STDs when they’re caught early.
In 2017, 11,167 people, most of them women between 20 and 24, were diagnosed with chlamydia, at a rate of 467.3. The gonorrhea rate was 140.6. In 2015, there were 4,758 people with HIV or AIDS living in Riverside County, with a prevalence rate of 248.
There are a number of clinics across Palm Springs, including at least one charitable organization that provides free STD testing for HIV only. The Palm Springs Community Health Center on Sunrise Way tests for STIs on a sliding fee scale.
The Eisenhower HIV Clinic tests and treats HIV and HPV. They have several locations in Palm Springs. The Dock Clinic provides confidential and low-cost STD testing. You can find them on Sunrise Way.
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.

100 S Sunrise Way #6778, Palm Springs, CA 92262, USA
The American Public Health Association together with the Center for Disease Control have stipulated that instruction for sexual health information be age appropriate and medically accurate and the entire state California has recently mandatedthat all schools teach sexual health.
The curriculum is required to be appropriate for people of all races and genders and sexual orientations. It also cannot promote religious doctrine. From grade 7 on, it must include information about abstinence while also providing medically accurate information about disease and pregnancy. This is fabulous news for local students especially when you contrast it to many states where sexual education is teaching abstinence only prior to marriage.
Each school district provides curriculum and training for all teachers to conduct HIV prevention education and in addition there are standards that must be met on the topics of STDs, contraception, condoms, pregnancy and violence.
Another good thing that’s happening in the Coachella Valley an increase of health clinics that cater to youth and their needs for protection, diagnosis and treatment.
There are two clinics in the valley run by the county and both offer walk-in times reserved specifically for under 25 year olds.
When we look at the demographics for Riverside County related to chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early syphilis we see a trend of a higher incidence in females outnumbering male infections almost 2-1 in the 20 to 24-year-old category. Chlamydia is most prevalent in the Hispanic population.
It is a largely Caucasian community with higher education rates than most of the country. The median household income is almost $55,000 with 13% of the population living below the poverty line (this is similar to the state wide poverty level). This may reflect why the statistics are stronger in the Hispanic demographic than across other more affluent demographics.
Fortunately the STI testing facilities make taking control of your sexual health easier for everyone.
The desert oasis is a really fun place; whether you’re sitting by the pool on a vacation, enjoying retirement or working to get ahead while raising a family,there a number of options for getting tested for STDs throughout the Coachella Valley region.
The HIV scare of the 80s may have blown over as we now think of people <em>living with</em> HIV more frequently than <em>dying from</em> AIDS. It’s important not to relax our vigilance too much and to remember that when you have unprotected sex with someone it’s like having sex with all the partners they have had in the past.
Many local physicians offer herpes and HIV testing as part of yearly physical exams. For those without the benefits of health insurance, obtaining tests at one of the local outreach clinics is an option. For all of your needs related to sexual health care, there are health experts waiting to help test, diagnose, and treat. Making sure that you get regularly tested will help remove the stress around your sexual health. Taking care of your health needs and those of your loved ones has never been so simple!
