Results from the annual surveillance data showed that in Rancho Mirage, there were 264 HIV cases recorded at a rate of 11.3 per 100,000 in 2014 and that there were 269 cases in 2015 occurring at a rate of 11.4.
Additionally, the department noticed a spike in new Syphilis infections in 2017 and 2018. The former year had 550 cases at a prevalence of 23.0 per 100,000 population, while in 2018, 655 cases were recorded at 27.1 in every 100,000.
For new Chlamydia infections, public health officials observed an upward trend between 2016 and 2018. There were 8,574 new cases at a rate of 363.0 per 100,000 population in 2016, and in 2018, the number had risen to 11,487 at a prevalence of 474.7 in every 100,000 persons.
That aside, there was a notable hike in new Gonorrhea infections around the same period, 2016 and 2018. Even though the cases stood at 4,082 at a rate of 168.7 per 100,000 in 2018, reports showed that in 2016, there were only 2,575 new infections tabled at a rate of 109.0 in every 100,000 individuals.
The numbers depict a crisis when it comes to the prevalence rate of HIV and STD infections. As such, public health officials have been advocating for more funds to be directed towards HIV and STD programs to enhance access to prevention measures, such as condoms as well as prevention education and psychosocial support services. The push for extra funds is also focused on increasing the effectiveness of early intervention programs that encompass comprehensive health education, nutritional assessment, nursing intake, and access to quality care.

Nonetheless, you should be aware that the anonymity of your visit may not be secure, and you may need to meet specific income or welfare eligibility requirements to receive some services.
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.
