Up to 80% of those infected with STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea show no signs of the disease, meaning they are asymptomatic. However, these conditions still can leave long-term effects if untreated, whether or not the person even knows they’re infected.
San Bernardino County reports high rates of STDs. In 2016 alone there were 15,000 cases of STDs. Gonorrhea rates increased almost 200% in a 6 year period from 2010 to 2016.
The most common STDs reported were chlamydia and gonorrhea. In 2017 there were 505.2 cases per 100,000 people for chlamydia and 190.3 cases per 100,000 people for gonorrhea. And every year these rates are increasing.
The 2017 data showed an increase of 45% since 2013. Now, over 300,000 cases of the most common sexually transmitted diseases – syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia combined – have been reported in the state and county. Studies are being conducted across the state to try to better understand and combat the growing STD problem, along with community-driven efforts to implement policies and programs to help stop the spread of these diseases and better treat those who have them.
One way the community is striving to reduce infection rates is through free STD testing programs. While not everyone might not be able to take advantage of this service, it doesn’t hurt to ask if you qualify.
Many locations exist around the city. The San Bernardino County Department of Public Health offers testing on 606 East Mill Street and the Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties Incorporated has a location at 1873 Commercenter West.
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.

While some city leaders pointed out that the Gonorrhea rate was lower than the state average, health officials were quick to state that the number of incidents in the area were continuing to rise, and would continue to do so unless residents realize how important regular STD testing is for their health and that of their loved ones.

One effective way to prevent the spread of STDs is to have comprehensive sexual education programs in the classroom. While the state of California does require schools to offer a few classes that deal with the dangers of HIV/AIDS, any general information included in the program must be verified as “medically accurate” before it can be taught to students.
In addition to the limited amount of information being taught in the classrooms is the problem of many parents opting to not let their children participate in the program.
Statistics show students who are testing positive for STDs is increasing, along with the number of teen pregnancies. Unfortunately educators expect these statistics to continue to rise as more teens are opting to become sexually active.
Teens and their parents are also unaware that some STDs can be spread without actual penetration, which is why regular Herpes testing in San Bernardino is so important. HIV testing in San Bernardino is also vital to the continued good health of teens and adults.
San Bernardino’s diverse population has made it difficult for health officials to effectively warn residents about the dangers of STIs, along with the necessity for regular testing.
Poorer areas often have a shortage of community facilities, and the few that do frequently do not have the resources necessary to effectively deal with the health crisis. Many low income families also find it difficult to afford regular STD testing, and these are often the same individuals who are engaging in risky sexual behaviors.
Cultural and religious beliefs also play a role in the STD rates, including the large Hispanic and Catholic population. The language barrier can also make it difficult for communication, and there is also the unfortunate problem of trust.
Adults and teens are also dealing with feelings of shame and embarrassment, which makes it difficult for them to get tested. This is also contributing to the continuing spread of STDs.
There are affordable std clinics in your area that often provide same-day results. Unlike public HIV centers, the process is anonymous. Mobile std testing is another option, and you might not need to use insurance. However, you won’t have the advantage of a discreet environment or the assurance of confidentiality.
