Riverside County is at the forefront of a national epidemic. Based on reported diagnoses, over 250 sexually active persons receive a positive HIV test result each year. Over 9,000 people currently live with HIV or AIDS. Compared to 2015 data, chlamydia rates have decreased by 8% but gonorrhea rates have increased by 18%.
Primary and Secondary syphilis have witnessed a huge resurgence and increase, more than doubling in transmission rates, since 2012. On the plus side, rates of gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are lower in Riverside County as compared to the California State averages.
Events are held for awareness efforts throughout the year including the National HIV Testing Day on June 27th, World AIDS Day on December 1st, and STD Awareness Month in April. Services include free STD testing, education, and counseling.
Programs available year-round in Riverside County include partner services, the Early Intervention Program, outreach programs, and counseling services.
So stay safe and informed with regular testing at a local facility. From Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest Incorporated on Tibbetts Street to the Riverside County Family Care Centers location on Mission Boulevard, it’s easy to find a testing center with a location convenient for 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.
