In recent years, the county health reports of Los Angeles County have noted an upward trend in both HIV and STI infections in Cudahy City. The rate of people living with HIV infections had increased to 286.1 per 100,000 by the end of 2016.
The health reports indicated an overall low infection rate of Syphilis infections. However, the infections increased from 34 at a rate of 20 in 2011 to 52 infections at a rate of 29 in 2015.
A sharp decline in Gonorrhea infections was noted in the county health reports. The infections dropped from 274 at a rate of 163 in 2011 to a low of 406 at a rate of 227 in 2015.
Chlamydia was the most prevalent infection in the county, and it rose from 1,388 at a rate of 823 in 2011 to 1,475 at a rate of 824 in 2015.
The Los Angeles County Department of Health has responded to the increase in the number of HIV/STD infections in the county by involving local-based and faith-based organizations and businesses in preventing these infections. The involvement of the local community has made sexual health campaigns, condom distribution programs, and efforts to eliminate stigmatization and discrimination against the high-risk groups successful.
Maywood Urgent Care Clinic and Planned Parenthood - East Los Angeles Health Center are among the health care facilities in Cudahy City that provide sexual and reproductive health care services. Other facilities include the St. Francis Medical Center and Clinica Santa Clara.
Cudahy residents may access free STD testing from some of the hospitals in the city. However, in some cases, results may be delivered by a phone call, and some of the clinics may not have consistent hours and days of operation.
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.
