Comfortable, cozy Carmichael, California. This lovely suburb of Sacramento—and home to 38 acre Carmichael Park and Jensen Botanical Gardens—sets nestled in the northern part of The Golden States Grand Central Valley. From there, all of the splendor of California rests at your fingertips, but so do the dangers.
This delightful town in the north Central Valley suffers from the same STI and STD transmission rates as the rest of California.
Since 2013 there has been a 45% increase in diagnosis of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). That is a surge of more than 300,000 new infections in approximately five years. Tragically, in 2017 alone, there were more that 30 stillbirths attributed to congenital syphilis in California. The highest it has been in almost two and a half decades. Doctors in Sacramento County hypothesize that the the increase amongst millennials, the most affected group, might stem from digital dating services and apps.
Options in prevention, detection, and treatment for the people of Carmichael are abundant, with Safe Lab STD Testing Centers, Quest Diagnostics, Avila Clinic, Med7 Urgent Care Center, and Capital Medical Clinic all just south of the 80/244. To name just a few. Open communication between partners and getting to an STD test clinic or similar—early and often—is the key to stifling this rise in transmission.
Free or affordable screening may be available at some clinics. Particularly around April, which is sexually transmitted disease awareness month. Locations often offer same day testing and can provide results in as little as 1-2 days.
To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Carmichael clinics with our easy-to-read chart.
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.

Effective sexual education programs focus on the behaviors that lead to unwanted pregnancies and STDs. The goal is to reduce these risky behaviors. An effective program must have a clear message and constantly reinforce that message. Students should either abstain from sexual activity or use condoms and contraceptives. Sexual education lessons must include clear and accurate information that students can understand and that supports the program’s goals.
In local schools, sexual education programs often transmit more than raw data and facts. It is useful to discuss the social pressures that can lead to sexual activity. Students should discuss these choices and communication strategies to avoid irresponsible behavior. Personal goals and lifestyle choices should also be included in this curriculum to contextualize issues like STDs and pregnancy.
At schools in Carmichael, these and other topics are taught in classrooms. The school district provided comprehensive sexual education for students in all grade levels. In grades 4 through 6, puberty, anatomy and relationships are included. Discussions are always age appropriate. Beginning in grade 7, instruction includes STDs, contraception, STD testing and HIV/AIDS.
Sexual education programs in schools also includes instruction on local STD resources. Students need to know where they can go for reliable testing services. Since many students might be uncomfortable with getting testing, familiarizing them with these resources is important.
Schools in Carmichael belong to the San Juan Unified. These schools include Cameron Ranch Elementary, Carmichael Elementary, Coyle Avenue Elementary, Thomas Kelly Elementary, Mission Avenue Elementary, Charles Peck Elementary, John Barrett Middle School and El Rancho Elementary School.
