The STD crisis in Los Angeles County has elicited concerns among the health and administrative officials. It's a health problem that requires immediate prevention strategies.
According to the L.A. County Department of Public Health's 2016 Annual STD Surveillance Report, chlamydia incidences in the county have increased since 2012, resulting in a total of 58,545 cases from 51,231 occurrences in 2012.
Furthermore, gonorrhea was the second-most prevalent STI. Over the five years, gonorrhea rate had jumped from 120.0 cases per 100,000 population to 216.0. Meanwhile, syphilis cases spiked from 3,213 in 2015 to 3,692 in 2016.
Let's Stop HIV Together, previously known as Act Against AIDS, is a campaign that aims to create awareness about HIV, testing and treatment options, and the importance of care retention. It also pushes for the stop of HIV stigma by outlining the obligations of every member of the community in accepting the PLWHA.
There are several testing clinics in L.A. that you can consider for STD testing and screenings. The LA County Department of Health operates several STD centers including the one at Est Ave, Antelope Valley; Melrose Ave, Hollywood; W Maple Ave, Monrovia; and N Figueroa St, Central LA.
Furthermore, you can head to the Los Angeles LGBT Center which lies along N Schrader Rd and Santa Monica Blvd. Further, the Planned Parenthood Clinic on So. Broadway is another option.
South El Monte residents can also find health centers within and beyond the town that might offer free STD testing, but most of them may not have walk-in options. You may also be forced to pay to get testing services for particular STDs and you may be patient to wait for your results because they are not released immediately.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
