El Toro, CA, is a Lake Forest Community in Southern Orange County experiencing an STD crisis.
Orange County ranked #31 from 2015 to 2019 for total chlamydia infections, with 11,371 new infections in 2015 and 14,258 in 2019.
Also, from 2015 to 2019, the area ranked #34 for gonorrhea cases statewide. In 2015, it had 2,320, and in 2019, it nearly doubled to 4,070.
Primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses are another area where rates rise. The county ranked #25 from 2015 to 2019, with 254 in 2015 and 541 in 2019.
Health professionals in Lake Forest and Orange County are concerned about the growing number of STD infections in the area. To reduce the rates, public officials are urging all individuals to get tested regularly for STDs.
For STD testing in El Toro, CA, area, and Orange County, several options are available. Most locations offer treatment, follow-up care, and counseling services.
Radiant Health Centers is an option at Sky Park Circle Suite J in Irvine.
Another option is the University of California Irvine Health Community Primary Care Associates on Calle de la Magdalena in Laguna Hills.
Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Berardino Counties Incorporated at the Mission Viejo Health Center on La Paz Rd offers screenings.
Some sites provide free STD testing. These facilities often have restricted appointment times or only offer walk-in services, which fill fast. Before waiting in line at a no-cost center, ask how long the results take and ensure they don't require proof of income.
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.
