Sacramento County where Rosemont is located has seen a spike in the rate of sexually transmitted infections in recent years. This has coincided with a decline in funds for low-cost and free STD testing centers. Between 2013 and 2017, the number of Chlamydia cases grew by 23%, Syphilis 136 % while Gonorrhea cases grew by 50% in Sacramento County.
Sacramento also recorded the sixth-highest Chlamydia rates, eighth-highest Gonorrhea rates and was ranked 10th in Primary and Secondary Syphilis rates among California states. Of concern was the high diagnoses in young women aged 15 and 24 who made up 63% of Chlamydia cases and 51% of Gonorrhea cases.
“Many young people in Rosemont and California at large are on birth control and are neglecting the use of condoms which are key to curb spread of STDs. They are more concerned about avoiding pregnancies. With easier access and increasing options for birth control, young people are opting to use IUDs, pills, implants and assume that STDs like Chlamydia are curable.” Cheri Greven Planned Parenthood
Health officials in Sacramento have come up with the Sacramento Workgroup to Improve Sexual health, which is comprised of representatives from community groups, and healthcare providers to ascertain developments and come up with solutions that target places that have the highest risk.
Rosemont has plenty of options when it comes to STD testing. You can visit public facilities, some of which may offer free or low cost STD testing like Planned Parenthood Sacramento and Sacramento Urgent Care where you will get quality services. Long queues and inconsistent wait times are some of the shortcomings of these public STD clinics.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
