Walnut Creek is a town in Contra Costa County. According to the most recent data, in 2017 there were 1,760 new cases of Syphilis, 1,760 new cases of Gonorrhea, and 5,731 new cases of Chlamydia. In 2017, there were 107 new cases of HIV.
“These numbers are going up across the country, as well as in the state, and Contra Costa is following the trend,” Christine Leivermann, HIV/AIDS/sexually transmitted diseases program director for Contra Costa County Health Services.
Contra Costa County Department of Public Health manages the public health for Walnut Creek. The department supports programs and efforts such as the Sober Up campaign, support groups, syringe exchange, and Partner Counseling & Referral.
The Public Health Division also works with public schools through mobile clinic health vans and on-site health centers at more than 40 campuses in the county. Through the STD program, they distribute condoms and follow up on incomplete or incorrect treatment and provide presentations to youth, teachers, and other entities serving youth.
In considering locations for testing, there is a Planned Parenthood located in Walnut Creek on Oakland Blvd and another one in Concord on Pacheco St.
Other nearby options include public health clinics on Willow Pass Road in Concord, another one in nearby Pittsburg on Loveridge Road, and one in San Pablo on San Pablo Ave.
The hours and availability vary by clinic and may not be convenient or might have long waiting times. Some clinics offer free STD testing and appointments may be required.
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.
