South San Jose Hills, CA, a community in Los Angeles County, is experiencing an STD outbreak.
There were 17,611 gonorrhea diagnoses in 2015, and in 2017, it had 26,108 new infections or the fifth-highest rate in the state.
In 2015, the county reported 1,594 primary and secondary syphilis cases, and two years later, in 2017, there were 1,998 new diagnoses or the 11th ranking county in the state.
Chlamydia infections are also increasing with 57,134 in 2015, and 64,326 in 2017, or the 10th-highest number of new diagnoses in 2017.
Health officials in Los Angeles County are concerned about the growing number of new STD diagnoses and are asking sexually active individuals to get regular STI screenings to help reduce the spread of these diseases.
There are dozens of locations in and around South San Jose Hills that offer comprehensive STD testing. Many facilities provide treatment and follow-up care.
The East Valley Community Health Center operates the West Covina Clinic at the corner of S Glendora Ave and Valinda Ave. This site is located on a public bus route.
Another option for STI services is the AltaMed Medical Group's West Corvina clinic on Sunset Ave. The facility has an on-site pharmacy.
The Central City Community Health Center also offers screenings at the La Puente Health Center on Amar Rd.
Some clinics might offer free STD testing. These locations may not include comprehensive screenings and might ask for proof of income. Additionally, the center may not have convenient appointment times.
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.

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.
