Introduction

What are the STI test options in Apple Valley,CA?

Like many communities across the country, San Bernardino County has seen a steady increase in reported STD cases from 2015 to 2017. 

The California Department of Public Health’s latest report shows that San Bernardino County had nearly 13,200 reported cases of chlamydia in 2017. The report also shows that there were almost 4,000 reported cases of gonorrhea, and more than 450 reported cases of syphilis. 

Studies show that 60 percent of these reported cases involve teenagers and young adults ranging from 15 to 24 years old. 

While many of these reported cases come from larger communities, such as San Bernardino, Fontana, and Ontario, smaller communities like Apple Valley, CA are not immune to this growing epidemic. 

  

According to the 2016 California HIV Surveillance Report, more than 4,100 people in San Bernardino County are living with HIV. 

There are several private physicians and medical centers in Apple Valley, CA that may offer STD testing. Many of these clinics are located along Bear Valley Road and Happy Trails Highway. 

If you take I-15 further south, you will find additional health clinics in Victorville that might offer STD testing or HIV testing, such as the San Bernardino Department of Health, as well as several more in Hesperia, including the Hesperia Health Center and the Foothills AIDS Project.

Some of these centers might even offer free STD testing. While these tests may be free, it’s important to note that not all STD tests are comprehensive, and you may need to wait for results.

Additional STD Test Statistics in Apple Valley, CA

San Bernardino county has the highest levels of treatable STD cases in county history. San Bernardino County Public Health officials are organizing a community task force to help turn this around.

In 2016 county figures show more than 15,000 cases of sexually transmitted disease, with large increases in gonorrhea and syphilis. San Bernardino County ranks 16th among all counties nationally for the number of cases of chlamydia and 25th in gonorrhea, county public health officials said. Young people ages 15 to 24 accounted for almost 60 percent of all new STDs reported in the county in 2016. Starting with 2011, there were no cases of congenital syphilis, which is the infection of an unborn infant with syphilis from a pregnant woman.

Unborn children with syphilis can be born prematurely or be stillborn when a pregnant woman is infected and not tested and treated, county officials said. Congenital syphilis is preventable if treated after you get tested. To avoid STDs, county public health officials recommend always using latex condoms correctly and getting vaccinated for human papillomavirus. Many people with STDs show no symptoms, so screening tests should be done at least annually, the county statement said.

STD rates in California are the worst they have been in two decades. National statistics show a rise in STDs, and California is worse with this including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Cases have increased over 10 percent in California for the three STIs since 2014 which was the worst previous year. Here are rates for chlamydia.

  • 479 per 100,000 in the United States
  • 486 per 100,000 in California

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Apple Valley, CA

Comprehensive sex education is the law in California. This means that all public schools in California are required by law to teach comprehensive sex education and HIV prevention education at least once in middle school and once in high school.

Comprehensive sex education includes learning about anatomy and birth control. It also means students are taught about healthy relationships, decision-making, and more.

This sex education should give students information to make healthy decisions about relationships and sexual and reproductive health. The sex education curriculum in school should include information about:

  • Sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sex trafficking
  • Healthy relationships
  • Adolescent relationship abuse, intimate partner violence, and sexual coercion
  • Sexual orientation and sexuality
  • Gender identity, gender roles, and gender stereotypes
  • Consent, communication, and healthy decision-making
  • HIV prevention and other STD prevention including testing and treatment
  • Pregnancy prevention, parenting, adoption, and abortion

It is the right of a student to get this information in schools. A group called Teen Source asks students if they are actually getting comprehensive sex education at school.

Teen Source provides students with a questionnaire online to fill out to say if they have not received sex education covering all of the above. Teen Source also gives students a chance to explain if they have received information that is not accurate.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Apple Valley, CA

A look at demographics can help our understanding of STI rates in your city and region. The demographic that is most likely to be infected and least likely to get tested is people 25 and younger.  Some experts blame the rates of STDs in this demographic in part on the use of new hook up apps that lead to casual sex among people 25 and younger.

Concerning the jump in the state for STDs, officials are not sure of all the reasons. People are not using condoms regularly so this could lead to the higher STD rates. People are going without testing and treatment and unknowingly spreading STDs. This is another possible reason for the higher rates.

We also see reports that STD prevention systems have been weakened because local and state clinics have reduced capacity or closed in the last few years. This also contributes to higher STI rates.

There are 4 times more Hispanic/Latino residents than any other race or ethnicity. Concerning your county, HIV diagnoses were 45 percent for Hispanics/Latinos in 2013. HIV diagnoses were 85 percent for men having sex with men in 2013. Gay men saw the highest rates for STDs.  Twice as many women suffer from chlamydia compared to men.

Men suffer in higher numbers than women from other STDs including syphilis and HIV. STD rates also are generally higher in areas with a high poverty rate.

STI Testing Resources in Apple Valley, CA

There are STI testing resources available in your city and throughout San Bernardino county. You can go to an area hospital, local lab or online service, or Planned Parenthood Victorville Health Center as some of the options.  

Planned Parenthood Victorville Health Center offers:

  • Conventional HIV Blood Testing
  • Chlamydia Testing
  • Syphilis Testing
  • Gonorrhea Testing
  • Herpes Testing
  • Hepatitis B Vaccine

Concerning the Victorville Health Center/Planned Parenthood location, know that if you are uninsured, you may qualify for a state-funded program or a lower fee scale. Bring a photo ID with you. Know also that fees for services are based on your household incomes. You will not be turned away because of your inability to pay.

We do not know the precise cause for why people do not get tested but some in your area are offering STD tests to be ordered online and mailed to homes to encourage testing. You provide a sample, send it back to a lab, and get results within a few days. We do not know how reliable these services are. The hope is to get approval for these tests from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell similar tests in stores. These tests are not all cleared by the FDA to be sold online.

Planned Parenthood launched an app in California to encourage people to get STD testing. Through the app men and women can order chlamydia and gonorrhea tests. If you are embarrassed to be seen at Planned Parenthood you could consider the hospital or urgent care option. No one will know why you are there. Yet another option is a private service such as PlushCare.

You order your STD tests. Then you visit a local lab. Then you get results via email in three business days or less. When you order you choose the tests you want to order. If you do not know for sure which tests to order, call the service so they can help. When you visit a local lab you bring with you a personalized lab order form. There is no appointment needed. It takes one blood and/or urine sample and about 15-30 minutes. If results show a need for treatment, you connect with the service and a doctor to provide a treatment plan.

You can also use the STD Check private service. This service is advertised as being 100 percent confidential. All tests are FDA approved. Same day testing is also available. Five-minute testing is an option with results in one to two days. They promise that from your first point of contact either by phone or online all possible is done to safeguard your personal information. They abide by all state and federal laws about medical privacy including the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Encryption of data means all transactions between you and STDcheck are secure.

STD Check does not accept insurance. This way your testing results are not reported to your insurance company. This service provides a free phone consultation with a doctor for every test where you have a positive result. The service includes access to an experienced network of licensed physicians. These physicians are available to answer questions and provide guidance if you get a positive test result. Plush Care is another service you could use in your area.
