Garberville, CA, is a community in Humboldt County experiencing an STD outbreak worrying health officials. All sexually transmitted infections are on the rise, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
Chlamydia is a concern with 435 diagnoses in 2014 and 227 in 2018.
Gonorrhea isn't slowing down. The county reported 142 infections in 2014. Four years later, in 2018, the area listed 227.
Syphilis is increasing in Humboldt County. In 2014, it only had 5 primary and secondary syphilis cases. In 2018, it reported 15.
Total early syphilis cases are rising, with 6 in 2014 and 28 infections in 2018.
The San Bernardino County Health Department wants to stop the rising STD outbreak in the area. They're asking all sexually active men and women to get tested regularly for STDs and follow up with treatment.
The Garberville, CA area offers several sites for comprehensive STD testing. Several facilities include treatment and follow-up care.
Services are available at the Redwoods Rural Health Center on W. Coast Rd. in Redway.
Another option is the Long Valley Health Center on Branscomb Rd. in Laytonville.
Round Valley Indian Health Center Incorporated provides screenings on Hwy 162 in Covelo.
Open Door Community Health Centers Fortuna Community Health Centers Fortuna Community Health Center on Rohnerville Rd. and the Ferndale Community Health Center on Main St. in Ferndale.
Several locations provide free STD testing in the Garberville area. These sites might request proof of income. Before scheduling an appointment, make sure they don't charge additional fees for related services. The cost could be more at a free site than at a low-cost facility.
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.
