Avenal, CA is a city in Kings County experiencing a serious increase in STD cases across the board. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are rising fast and showing no signs of slowing down.
In 2015, Kings County listed 592 new chlamydia diagnoses. Three years later, in 2018, it nearly doubled to 694.
Gonorrhea is also growing. In 2015, the area reported 169 new cases, and in 2018, the area had 266.
Syphilis is increasing quickly. The health department noted 19 primary and secondary infections in 2015, and in 2018, it jumped to 32.
County officials are also concerned about congenital syphilis cases. In 2015, it had 2 diagnoses, and in 2018 there were 3 new ones.
County health officials are working to reduce STD infection rates in Avenal and the surrounding area by promoting regular STD testing for all sexually active persons.
Several options are available for comprehensive STD screenings, treatment, and follow-up care in and around Avenal and Kings County.
Adventist Health provides testing at a few clinics in the area, including the Avenal West Clinic on Kings St. and the Avenal Clinic on E. Fresno St. A third spot is the Huron Clinic on 5th St. in Huron.
Another place to try is the United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley at the Huron Health Center on 11th St. in Huron.
A few locations might offer free STD testing. Before choosing a no-cost location, find out how long it takes to get results back. Some sites may take much longer than low-cost options. Additionally, comprehensive screenings might not be a choice.
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.
