Chuckwalla, CA, is a community in eastern Riverside County that's fighting an STD outbreak.
Chlamydia cases are skyrocketing. In 2014, the area reported 8,736 new infections, and in 2018, the county had 11,487.
Gonorrhea is another concern. Riverside recorded just 1,667 diagnoses for the preventable STD in 2014. By 2018, the area topped 4,000 new cases with 4,082.
Primary and secondary syphilis is another matter that has health officials worried. In 2014, the county had 188 infections. Four years later, that number jumped to 303 cases.
Early non-primary, non-secondary syphilis is on the rise. In 2014, the area recorded 142 diagnoses. In 2018, it had 352.
Total syphilis infections are also going up quickly. In 2014, there were 330, and by 2018, it nearly doubled to 655 new cases.
Riverside California County health officials are asking all sexually active individuals to help slow the spread of STIs in the area. They hope through education and regular STD testing, the number of new infections for all STIs will drop.
Several locations are available for comprehensive STD testing throughout Riverside County and near Chuckwalla. Many of these sites provide treatment and aftercare solutions.
There are a few Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo clinics. One option is the Niland Health Clinic on Highway 111 in Niland. You can also try the Mecca Medical Clinic on 66th Ave in Mecca. The last choice is the Westshores Medical Clinic on S. Marina Dr. in Salton City.
Some clinics may offer free STD testing. Before grabbing the first appointment, check for hidden costs, such as the location not providing comprehensive screenings. Additionally, you might not be able to get an appointment. Many no-cost clinics only have walk-in hours.
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.
