There are currently 81 per 100,000 people living with HIV in Rosemead. Statistics also show that there are 75 per 100,000 people living with either Syphilis or Gonorrhea in the city. This data is evidence to suggest that Rosemead residents are at risk of contracting STDs.
In Rosemead and Los Angeles County, the most at risk demographic for HIV contraction are white males. Additionally, African American women have a high risk of being infected with syphilis in comparison to other demographics.
Los Angeles County has seen a recent increase in the rates of sexually transmitted diseases among local residents, which has led Rosemead health officials to urge sexually active individuals to seek out regular STD testing.
The increase of HIV, Syphilis and Gonorrhea frequency in Rosemead and the high rates of syphilis within certain demographics have led health officials to promote sexual health education campaigns, offer free condom distribution, and increase awareness through prevention programs. These initiatives aim to encourage safe sex, educate residents, and reduce the stigma associated with having HIV or an STD.
Sexually active Rosemead residents are also urged by health officials to pursue regular STD tests at either public or private clinics. Public clinics now also sometimes offer free STD testing services, however, there are often income requirements necessary to qualify for STD treatment.
Centers that you can choose from in Rosemead are AltaMed Health Services Corporation (El Monte Clinic), Central City Community Health Center (El Monte Health Center), and Our Saviour Center (Cleaver Family Wellness Clinic).
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.

One way to reduce the spread of STDs in the Rosemead area is through sexual education.

Sexual education programs allow students to explore these topics related to sexual health. The goal of these programs is to delay sexual activity among teens and young adults and increase the use of contraceptive methods.
According to the Rosemead Schools District, local schools are committed to instruction on sexual education. The policy states, “Comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education shall be offered to all students in grades 7-12, including at least once in junior high or middle school and at least once in high school.” These programs must be age appropriate, factually and medically accurate and objective.
