Sierra, CA, is a small city area in Sierra County experiencing a jump in STD infections.
Chlamydia is on the rise with two new infections in 2016, and in 2018 the counted reported six cases.
Even gonorrhea is increasing in the sparsely populated location, with zero cases in 2017 and one in 2018.
County health officials in Sierra are working to reduce the rising STI rates. They're asking all sexually active men and women in the area to get tested regularly and follow up with treatment if necessary to help reduce the infection rates.
There are several STD testing locations near Sierra. Many facilities also include treatment and follow-up care services.
One option is Eastern Plumas Health Care at the Portola Medical Clinic on 1st Avenue. You can also try the Sierra County Public Health Department on Front Street in Loyalton, and the Sierra Family Medical Clinic on Tyler Foote Road in Nevada City.
Additionally, services are available at the Western Sierra Medical Clinic Incorporated at the Grass Valley Site on Old Tunnel Road.
Some clinics provide free STD screenings. When choosing a free site, understand you may have trouble getting a quick appointment. Also, these centers might not provide comprehensive testing.
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.
