There were approximately 2 million new diagnoses of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States of America in 2018. Chlamydia was the dominant infectious diseases; the national situation is a perfect reflection of the reality in Corcoran city and California states.
According to 2017 STD Survey report, there were about 218,700 cases of chlamydia at the rate of 552.2 while 75,372 cases of gonorrhea were reported at the rate of 190.3 which was a 165 increase from 2016. 13, 719 cases of syphilis similarly were documented at an incidence rate of 34.6, an increase by 21%.
A steep increase in chlamydia cases was noted; in 2015 the chlamydia prevalence rate was 487.5, sharply increased to 552.2 in 2016 and in 2018 at 557.4 per 100,000 populations. The rate among women was 621.4 while that of men was 350.2.
Congenital syphilis weighed down health authorities with 283 cases reported in 2016 out of which 30 became stillbirths. This figure was 32% increase from the previous year.
The 2017 STD Surveillance report quickened the California State Department of Health to act by establish STD/HIV prevention training centers responsible for diagnosis and treatment as well as education, medical consulting and awareness.
STD testing services are available in both private and public healthcare providers. Frazier Mountain Community Health Center is one public facility to consider in Corcoran. It’s open Monday through to Friday, for the general public but appointment is required.
Alternatively, you can visit local clinics that may provide free STD testing within the town. On the flip side, these clinics may use your area of residency, income level, and medical insurance to determine your eligibility. Moreover, the medical centers may be crowded which may delay releasing test results for more than two weeks.
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.
