Chowchilla, CA, is a city in Madera County that's facing an uphill battle against STD infections. Chlamydia is on the rise with 733 infections in 2015 that increased to 920 new cases in 2018.
Gonorrhea diagnoses are also going up. County health officials reported 159 cases in 2015, and in 2018 it had 282 new infections.
Syphilis is another problem worrying medical professionals in Chowchilla. In 2015, the area reported 20 new diagnoses. Three years later, in 2018, the county had 49. Congenital syphilis is passed from mother to child. In 2015, the area had no cases. From 2016 to 2018, the county had 4 babies born with syphilis each year.
City and county health officials are working to reduce the rising STD numbers in the area through testing, treatment, and education. They're asking all sexually active individuals to get screened for STIs regularly and protect their partners and themselves.
There are a few locations in Chowchilla that offer STD testing. Many of these locations include comprehensive screenings for all STIs and offers treatment and follow-up care.
One option is Camarena Health at the Chowchilla Health Center on Prosperity Avenue. Another choice is the Golden Valley Health Centers at the Le Grand Medical Center on Jefferson Street.
Some sites might offer free STD testing. These facilities may seem like a good idea but it's important to ask questions about the service. A free location may have a few weeks to wait for an appointment and the results.
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.
