Introduction

What are the STI test options in Delano,CA?

The steadily rising population of Delano, CA has lead to an increase in HIV rates since 2000. In fact, an STD is transmitted in Kern County every hour, according to the California Department of Public Health. In 2017 Kern County had 152 reported cases of HIV, or 3 cases per week, and this number continues to rise as barrier contraceptives, such as condoms, become less prevalent.

To combat this, Kern County Public Health is currently undertaking public awareness campaigns and deploying mobile testing facilities throughout the county

Reported cases of STDs in 2017 was the highest number since reporting began in 1990, and 54% of cases were among people under 25.

There are several public testing facilities within Delano to provide convenient services. The Delano Medical Centre located on Main Street, Delano, offers a wide range of STD testing and prioritises patient confidentiality. Phone appointments with a doctor are guaranteed should your results come back as positive.

The Delano Community Health Centre on Garces Highway, Delano, is one public centre that offers free HIV testing, as well as a range of STD testing (with an out-of-pocket cost) and vaccines. Insurance and Medi-Cal are both accepted.

Kern County Public Health Clinic located on Mt Vernon Ave, Bakersfield is another option that promotes confidentiality and has low-cost testing available if you do not have insurance. This clinic is located about a half an hours drive from Delano, so if you don’t have your own transport it may be difficult to access. 

Although these facilities do not all currently offer free STD testing, it is worth enquiring with local centres as they may offer this service during certain times, such as STD Awareness month in April. Be aware, there might still be eligibility criteria for these free services, so not everyone may qualify.

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Delano, CA

Comprehensive sex education is the law in California. This means that all public schools in California are required by law to teach comprehensive sex education and HIV prevention education at least once in middle school and once in high school.

Comprehensive sex education includes learning about anatomy and birth control. It also means students are taught about healthy relationships, decision-making, and more. This sex education should give students information to make healthy decisions about relationships and sexual and reproductive health. The sex education curriculum in school should include information about:

  • Sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sex trafficking
  • Health relationships
  • Adolescent relationship abuse, intimate partner violence and sexual coercion
  • Sexual orientation and sexuality
  • Gender identity, gender roles, and gender stereotypes
  • Consent, communication, and healthy decision-making
  • HIV prevention and other STD prevention including testing and treatment
  • Pregnancy prevention, parenting, adoption, and abortion

It is the right of a student to get this information in schools. A group called Teen Source asks students if they are actually getting comprehensive sex education at school. Teen Source provides students with a questionnaire online to fill out to say if they have not received sex education covering all of the above. Teen Source also gives students a chance to explain if they have received information that is not accurate.

A new bill signed into law will add more information into sexual education courses for middle school and high school students. Previously only HIV and AIDS prevention were required in school.  

This new law will now include sexual health education. Students will be taught the information once in middle school and once in high school. Parents will have the option to opt their children out of the sexual education course.

Denise Smith, the Director of Disease Control at Kern County’s Department of Public Health, said the new requirements can help Kern County STD rates.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Delano, CA

A look at demographics can help our understanding of STI rates in your city and region. According to a recent report on Kern County, the Chlamydia infection rate among teen females is 59 percent higher than the state.

Compared to older adults, adolescents are at higher risk for acquiring sexually transmitted diseases for a number of reasons, including limited access to preventive and regular health care and physiologically increased susceptibility to infection.

  • Rates are highest for STDs among gay men
  • Rates are especially high for women aged 15 to 24

The demographic that is most likely to be infected and least likely to get tested is people 25 and younger. Some experts blame the rates of STDs in this demographic in part to the use of new hook up apps that lead to casual sex among people 25 and younger.

Concerning the jump in the state for STDs, officials are not sure of all the reasons. People are not using condoms regularly so this could lead to the higher STD rates. People are going without testing and treatment and unknowingly spreading STDs. This is another possible reason for the higher rates.

We also see reports that STD prevention systems have been weakened because local and state clinics have reduced capacity or closed in the last few years. This also contributes to higher STI rates.

STI Testing Resources in Delano, CA

There are STI testing resources available in your city and area. Delano Community Health Center could be an ideal place for you to get information, testing, and treatment if needed.

The Bakersfield Health Center/Planned Parenthood is another place that can help but it is 30 miles away from your city. If transportation is no problem you could go there for STI counselling, testing, treatment, and vaccines. Testing, diagnosis, and treatment is provided for chlamydia, gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, genital warts, herpes, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. Testing and diagnosis only are provided for HIV. Prevention services include condoms and hepatitis B vaccines.

STD Check and Plush Care are other options for testing in your area. Plush Care offers what they call safe and easy STD testing. You order your test, visit a local test center, then get results and treatment if needed. Doctors and pharmacies partner with this service.

We do not know the exact reason why people do not get tested but some in your area are offering STD tests to be ordered online and mailed to homes. You provide a sample, send it back to a lab, and get results within a few days. We do not know how reliable these services are. The hope is to get approval for these tests from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell similar tests in stores. These tests are not all cleared by the FDA to be sold online.

Health officials in California note how difficult it can be to get people to go to one of their STD clinics. The county then offered kits online to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea for women under the age of 25. This group should have annual screens for these two STIs as these women are considered at risk and primarily bearing the consequences of the STIs.

Planned Parenthood also launched an app in California. Through the app men and women can order chlamydia and gonorrhea tests.

Another way to get information about where to get tested is the Teen Source organization. Teen Source is a project of Essential Access Health. Project activities are supported by the federal Office of Population Affairs, Title X grant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) STD Prevention Programs, the California Wellness Foundation, and the American Civil Liberties Union. It operates an online service that can help you get information about STDs and where to get testing and treatment.

This online hub for teen friendly sexual and reproductive health information has material that is for teens and by teens. It features accurate and reliable information about STDs, birth control, healthy relationships, and teen rights to accessing sensitive services in California. The site also features youth-generated blogs and videos.

From the Teen Source page, you can get free condoms if you are 12 to 19 years old and live in California. You can pick up a condom near you or order condoms to be mailed to your home. If you have them mailed to your home, they come in a plain yellow envelope so no one knows the contents.

Better Sexual Health in Delano, CA

Consider how the staff at these facilities is trained to help someone like you, especially with the staff at Planned Parenthood/Bakersfield or any other facility reminding you to check your health, improve it, and keep yourself healthy by always using a condom.
