Vacaville is the 3rd largest city in Solano County and about an hour from the city of San Francisco. It’s part of the San Francisco Bay Area—which is known for high rates of sexually transmitted diseases, especially in recent years. Just in 2015, there were 1,115 people living with HIV/AIDS in Solano County, which is a prevalence rate of 307 per 100,000 people. That’s just under California’s rate of 376 and a small fraction of San Francisco’s own HIV prevalence rate.
Solano County health officials are currently more concerned about bacterial infection rates, which are increasingly steadily.
In 2017, 2,618 people in the Vacaville area were diagnosed with chlamydia, at a rate of 598.7 per 100K, higher than California’s rate of 552.2.
Rates for gonorrhea and syphilis were reported at 181.8 and 10.3. The group found having the highest STI rates is 20–24-year-olds (and often more women than men). Health officials stress that sexually active people must use protection every time and get tested often.

While some Californian cities already have comprehensive sex education programs in place, the state made it mandatory in January of 2016. All public school districts are now required to provide 7th through 12th graders medically accurate information on STDs and how they can be prevented.
While abstinence is still encouraged and students are taught that simply not having intercourse is the best way to prevent pregnancies, educators also know that the majority of teens have engaged in sexual activity at least once before graduation. With this view in mind the new education program covers all of the risks and responsibilities that come with being sexual active.
This includes comprehensive information on current sexual issues, along with access to condoms and tips on how to use contraceptives effectively. HIV education is still taught according to state and federal standards, but now students are also learning about the other STDs. In cities where these comprehensive programs are already in place the rate of STD infections is falling, and local officials are hopeful that the same will be true for the city.
The program also stresses the importance of regular HIV testing in Vacaville, especially since the rates are rising in the county. Students are even taught that regular Herpes testing in Vacaville is just as important, especially if they don’t want to contract this embarrassing virus.
Like most of the state this small city has a diverse population. Same sex couples comprise 22 percent of the population, which is made up of several ethnicities. While this helps to give the city its festive flair, it is also contributing to the high STD rates.
The diverse cultures are making it difficult for health officials to reach all of the city’s residents, and often they encounter a language barrier. While same sex couples are widely accepted, many of them still fear reprisals if they are seen visiting a STI clinic. All of this combined means that many residents are not taking care of their sexual health.
The city’s smaller size and slightly remote location means that there are fewer community STD centers for residents to visit. The few that are located nearby are dealing with recent budget cuts which has left them understaffed and with limited hours of operation. This has resulted in long lines and crowded waiting rooms that residents try to avoid unless they know for sure that there is a problem. By then chances are they are already passed the STD onto other residents.
Not only did the cuts to funding affect the clinics, but also residents ability to afford regular STD testing. Where it was once covered under Medicaid, residents are now required to pay for the procedure out of pocket. This has left the area’s low income families unable to afford the simple procedure.
Until these and other problems are addressed the city can expect to see its STD rates continue to rise.
Before you head to the annual Farmers Market or sample the food at the Rib & Chili Cook-Off it is a good idea to take a few minutes and take care of your sexual health. This means regular STD testing, even if you are not sexually active. It is understandable if you don’t want to wait in the long lines at the community health center, especially if you think there isn’t a problem. It is still important to be tested, and now there is a faster and easier way. You can schedule confidential STD testing with one simple phone call, and this way you only need to spend a few minutes in the privacy of a conveniently located lab.
