An astounding number of 218,728 chlamydia cases, 75,372 gonorrhea cases, and 13,719 early syphilis cases were reported just last year alone. As seen by these numbers, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most commonly reported and most prevalent STDs.
Chlamydia in 2017 was 505.2 cases per 100,000 residents and gonorrhea reached 190.3 cases per 100,000 residents. That was a 9% increase from the prior year for chlamydia and a 16% increase for rates of gonorrhea. Even more alarming is the increase in syphilis because this disease was almost completely eradicated two decades ago.
This also means congenital syphilis is on the rise and in the state there were 30 stillbirths attributed to congenital syphilis in 2017.
Federal recommendations include treating the partner when seeing the patient, without an additional check-up required for the partner to receive the required prescription. Although not a standard practice in all locations, some doctors are following these federal recommendations in an effort to reduce the alarming spread of STDs. Other clinics are offering free STD testing, though you might have to search to find one near you.
Many locations offer testing services in and around the Santa Clarita area. Locations include the Northeast Valley Health Corporation with multiple locations, including one on Soledad Canyon Road and another on Valencia Boulevard in nearby Valencia. Many locations offer services that are either entirely free or operate on sliding scale fees in order to prioritize health care over profit.
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.

Chlamydia has overtaken Los Angeles County. Gonorrhea and syphilis aren’t far behind. As a suburb, Santa Clarita is looped in with the metro area and the county statistics apply to them.
Not only are sexually transmitted diseases prevalent in the county, their numbers are overtaking those for the nation. Population does have a role, but this still doesn’t account for most of the cases. Comprehensive education was supposed to handle much of that.
Currently,
Programs are resources are being lined up to help combat this growing issue, and chances are there is one in your “neck of the woods”.
The first thing you need to do when you want STD testing is to call for an appointment. They do accept patients as young as 15, but prefer to not have any younger. You should also be advised that testing is not free. There are charges.
InnerVisions Health Care is similar to other sexual health organizations. They perform almost the same services, only here you can expect to be charged for your visit. They do not have reduced rates, even if you do not have health insurance.

Over 40 public and 35 private clinics are ready and willing to help you combat the “STD problem”. LabCorp and Quest Diagnostic have labs on Lyons Ave, Town Center Dr. and Rinaldi St, too name a few. You’ll can be in and out before you know it, and it is cost effective. Waiting to see a health professional doesn’t happen, since you’ve already called ahead.
Northeast Valley Health Corporation has offices throughout the county, and two in Santa Clarita. Their interactive website will help you find the one closest to you. STI tests are standard procedure, though fees are involved. They do work with Family PACT so for some there are no costs. You do need to talk with one of their representatives before showing up to ensure the nonpayment part goes smoothly.
SCV Pregnancy Center doesn’t only cater to expectant women, they’ll also test both sexes for STDs. Guys might feel a little uncomfortable in a stereotypical women’s clinic, but it does make it easier to keep the reason for the visit private. Appointments need to be made over the phone, and their Rye Canyon Dr. office is only open to 5pm. You might miss a day at work to visit them, but their low to no cost STD panel tests could make up for your lost wages.
Off interstate 5, on Lyons Ave is the Santa Clarita HIV and STD testing center. Located in a shopping plaza, they’re well-advertised and there’s usually plenty of parking spots. Hours do coincide with neighboring businesses so don’t show up after rush hour. However, if you nearby during the day stop by. Bring insurance information if applicable, it will lower the overall cost of your visit.
It’s surprising, but Yelp can help if you’re looking for an HIV clinic. You will want to contact many of these establishments before a visit, but it can be a helpful online tool. One advantage it can have is showing you mobile and stationary testing stations outside Santa Clarita.
If you don’t want to drive through the county, there are several closer to home.
All NEVHC locations can test you for HIV. AIDS care and treatment is also provided, just contact them. They’ll get you started on a regimen that will try to keep the virus in check. Testing can be free, just bring the proper paperwork. Appointments are best, but they do see clients that pop in off the streets.
The Gay and Lesbian Association of Santa Clarita is associated with 6 centers that provide HIV testing. There is one on the College of the Canyons campus, at the student center. Others are in nearby communities. Testing can be free of charge, though you should check with the association first. They can answer any payment questions and direct you to the nearest facility. They can even aid with scheduling testing or counseling appointments.
Are you willing to drive over 10 miles? There are HIV clinics that might be more discreet. After all, the farther you go from home the less likely you are to run into a familiar face.
Northeast Valley Health Corporation has teamed up with AIDS organizations across LA County. Many aren’t too great a distance from you. Rapid tests are at most of their locations, just check if this is why you are driving farther from your comfort zone.
El Proyecto Del Barrio welcomes everyone, though conventional testing is all they offer. Westwind Health Services can put rapid testing through. However, you must be a resident. If so, you might meet eligibility requirements for free testing and other health services.
You might be ahead of the nation with education dealing with sexual health. This hasn’t stopped STDs from continuing to be a serious bother.
Sometimes public education isn’t enough. There aren’t enough supervisors to ensure that all schools are teaching the appropriate curriculum. It can also be difficult to speak up in school, especially when peers are watching. When parents don’t want to address these issues, everyone needs somewhere to go.
Planned Parenthood has been a beacon for many. Their century long reputation has ensured this. Their counselors can talk to anyone from pre-teen to senior citizen. Programs are open to the public, and there is always literature free for the taking. The same principles also hold true at NEVHC.
Sometimes talking in person can be uncomfortable. You can still get your questions answered, just look online or at the library. Health education isn’t missing, you just have to know where to look. If you are doing your own research, check the sources.
The roller coasters at Magic Mountain are worth the wait, but not your sexual health. It might sound “corny”, but it is true. The complications that can arise from an untreated sexual disease can take your life.
There are plenty of clinics that are more than willing to help. All you need to do is take the first tentative step. It’s even easier if you chose to go through a private lab. Don’t take the chance, stop in and get a ten panel test today. This way you’ll know that you are completely covered.
