Laguna Niguel is a city in the south of Orange County where the rates of STDs have shown increases in recent years. The rate of cases for Gonorrhea alone had doubled between 2010 and 2016 from 38.5 to 96.2 for every 100,000 people. However, there are no reported cases or no data for HIV cases in Laguna Niguel.
In California, the highest STD rates are found among young people, African-Americans and gay and bisexual men, according to the state.
Public health in Laguna Niguel is managed by the Orange County Health Care Agency. The agency has created programs and initiatives to help alleviate sexual health problems in the area like pre-exposure prophylaxis education and referrals for those at risk including men who have sex with men, transgender women, or bisexual.
Another initiative is HIV planning and coordination that administers funding for HIV preventions, testing, care and support services. They also have disease intervention specialists to offer partner services.
Within Laguna Niguel, clinics to consider include the South Coast Family Medical Center on Rancho Niguel Rd or the Mission Heritage Medical Group on La Paz Rd.
Other nearby locations include the Planned Parenthood in Mission Viejo, the Camino Health Center in San Juan Capistrano, or the Laguna Beach Community Clinic on 3rd St.
Some of these clinics offer free STD testing but may differ in available hours, may require appointments, may have long wait times, and qualification for testing may depend on income and welfare eligibility.
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.
