statistic

San Diego is California’s second largest city and, with a population of nearly 1.5 million, it’s a booming metropolis which attracts more than 30 million visitors annually. San Diego’s year round mild climate makes it the ideal location for both business and pleasure which has resulted in it becoming a hot spot for start-up companies as well as a booming tourist industry. At the same time its robust population and international popularity make it difficult for health care workers to meet the needs and demands of the city in terms of STD education, prevention and treatment.

Additional STD Test Statistics in San Diego, CA

Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in San Diego, CA

There are a number of options for getting tested for STDs throughout the city of San Diego. Many doctor’s offices do Herpes and HIV testing as a part of routine yearly exams for all sexually active adults and these tests also typically cover chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis.

Still for those without health insurance or for those with insurance that doesn’t cover STD testing, obtaining these results can be difficult. In some cases, there are STD clinics which offer free STD testing but this often involves waiting in a crowded clinic with no guarantee you will be seen that same day.

Outreach and private services do what they can to help people learn their STD status but still there are gaps and experts agree that the STD rates in San Diego may be underreported. This comes in the wake of San Diego outpacing national averages for STDs according to recent findings.

STD-SD-STDStatsNatlComparison

 

Sexual education within San Diego does cover HIV and other STD prevention and the courses begin as student enter high school. Some experts think starting education earlier may help students understand there is more to worry about than just HIV and pregnancy. These measures have helped more students to be aware of various conditions but it has not had any noticeable effect on STD rates for the city.

There are, however, a number of sexual education outreach programs focused on adults appearing on the horizon. Connect, a group for men, helps to educate and advocate for sexually active men in terms of STD prevention, education and support. Additional public health services are available through the San Diego County Health & Human Services Agency.

When it comes to STD cases, age plays a huge role in the rate of occurrence for some diseases. The difference in ages for chlamydia and syphilis are perhaps the most striking. Chlamydia is clearly what most would consider a “young person’s” disease while syphilis affects people later in life.

STD-SD-STDStatsAgeGroup

While sex education may help younger adults make wise choices concerning their sexual activity, there is clearly a need for outreach and education for older citizens when it comes to the transmission of all STDs as well as options for STD testing.

But it is clear that STD cases are on the rise across the board in San Diego so demographics often play only a small role. The biggest influence when it comes to transmitted diseases is a combination of education and access to prevention.

Better Sexual Health in San Diego, CA

While the city of San Diego finds ways to meet the challenges of educating the public through sex education, STD clinics and general outreach programs, private citizens can control their sexual health by looking into options for specific STD testing such as HIV testing or Herpes testing through their own doctor’s office or through companies that offer services through the mail.

These options help Sand Diego residents obtain access to testing, but public health officials have concerns that too many people don’t bother getting tested unless they have some symptoms of an STD. For this reason, the County of San Diego has begun to promote a more active approach in educating people, particularly youths and those who work with young people, about the importance of regular testing in order to detect an STD at its earliest stage.

Anonymous STD testing in San Diego isn’t available due to public health laws as well as federal regulations but Confidential STD testing is easily obtained privately. At home services which deliver results through the mail are, by far, the most convenient but there are also options through clinics and offices making it fairly easy for anyone to get an STD test in San Diego.

Ultimately, the sexual health of a city comes down to the education of its people and how well they know their options when it comes to STD prevention. In this regard, there is still much work to be done in San Diego but efforts are clearly underway to turn the tide around.
