Arcata is a city adjacent to Arcata Bay within Humboldt County. Officials at the Humboldt County Department of Human Services observed that the county's rate of HIV infections had increased from 132 to 206 by 2020.
Records revealed that the rate of Syphilis infections as of 2016 was 8.8 in every 100,000 individuals, while in 2017, it had leaped to 23.6 per 100,000 population. In 2018, the rate of Syphilis infections was recorded at 20.6 in every population of 100,000.
New Chlamydia infections had also been on the rise between 2016 and 2018, whereby 749 cases at a prevalence of 550.5 per 100,000 persons had been recorded during that former year, whereas 790 new infections were reported in 2018 prevalence of 582.5.
The department also noted a fluctuation in the number of new Gonorrhea infections. In 2015, 239 cases were reported at 176.8 in every population of 100,000, and in 2016, the number of cases had increased to 254 at a prevalence of 186.8 per 100,000 individuals. That aside, in 2017, they decreased to 225 at a prevalence of 165.6.
HIV/STD incidence rates in Humboldt County have been continually rising. That’s why state and local health departments, along with private STD-related stakeholders, have been pooling their resources to reduce the prevalence of these infections. To fight the spread of HIV/STD infections, public health officials conduct public awareness campaigns to educate communities on safe sex practices. They also provide patient-delivered partner therapy, on-site clinic support and STD prevention training, early intervention screening, and syringe exchange programs.
For convenient and comprehensive HIV/STD services, you can visit the Humboldt County Public Health Department, Planned Parenthood - Eureka Health Center, Redwood Urgent Care, and the Humboldt Open Door Clinic.
However, some free STD clinics may require you to book an appointment to access services while others may not have prescription medications on-site.
