Walnut Park is a census-designated place in Los Angeles County. The county’s public health records depicted a decrease in HIV diagnoses recorded between 2016 and 2018. In the first year of reference, 1,906 cases were reported at a rate of 22 per 100,000 residents, whereas in 2018, 1,660 recorded cases were occurring at a rate of 19 in every 100,000 individuals.
On the other hand, there was an increase in new Syphilis infections between 2016 and 2017, where officials recorded 3,992 cases at a rate of 39 in every population of 100,000 in 2016 and 4,750 new infections at a rate of 46 per group of 100,000 residents.
Also, Gonorrhea diagnosis rose from 17,289 at a rate of 170 in every cluster of 100,000 people in 2015 to 25,723 new cases in 2017, prevailing at 250 per 100,000 subjects.
Moreover, there was a significant increase in the number of Chlamydia infections between 2016 and 2017. Data collected in 2016 showed that there were 58,367 cases at a prevalence rate of 571 in every 100,000 individuals, while in 2017 reports, 64,091 new infections were recorded at a rate of 624 per 100,000 population.
The Los Angeles public health department has identified several barriers to health equity that are exacerbating the STD burden within the county. They include methamphetamine use, poverty, stigma and discrimination, health illiteracy, and inadequate access to culturally appropriate sex-positive health solutions. To change the situation, its officials have focused on improving early detection and preventing HIV/STDs' spread through positively diagnosed individuals and their partners' timely treatment. Also, they've been raising STD awareness through community-based educational programs.
When seeking low-cost or free STD testing, you can visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Public Health, Planned Parenthood - Canoga Park Health Center, Express Care at West Covina Medical Center, or the Long Beach Health Center - APLA Health.
Fair warning, though, some of the clinics may lack a walk-in option while others may fail to remit your test results immediately.
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.
