Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Among Fresno County residents living with HIV, 82.6% are in care · 72.5% are virally suppressed.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Fresno County tests for syphilis.

Berry Park sits near the center of Selma with the quiet, rooted feel of a town where most households have been in the same address long enough to plant something. That settled character runs deep: the majority of residents own their homes, and the average household holds nearly four people, which shapes daily logistics in ways a number alone doesn't capture. Getting to a clinic listed on this page often means coordinating a car, a schedule, and childcare in a household where multiple people share both, since Golden State Highway and Whitson Street are the practical arteries that connect Selma outward toward larger Fresno County facilities.
With roughly two-fifths of residents renting and unemployment running higher than many nearby communities, the cost calculation around screening is real. Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a substantial share of Selma's population, and this is the stretch of life when chlamydia and gonorrhea rates climb fastest, when relationships are forming and regular provider visits are least consistent. Only about one in six Selma households clears six figures annually, so a clinic visit that requires a full co-pay, a long drive up CA 99, and an unpaid hour off work is a harder ask than it sounds, especially for a renter paying close to $900 a month.

Confidentiality & consent in CaliforniaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on California law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
California permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
