Clovis, California STD Statistics

In 2013 Fresno County health officials released a new report that shedding light into the health of Clovis residents, specifically about sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.

  • The five-year average for HIV cases is 64 per year. In 2011, there were 111 new cases — a 73% increase over a five-year baseline.
  • Fresno County is one of the top five counties in the state for rates of chlamydia infections from year to year — and that trend isn’t changing, the report said.
  • Almost 5,300 cases were reported in Fresno County in 2006, for a rate of about 581.9 cases per 100,000 people. In 2005, 4,900 cases of chlamydia were reported, translating to 545.2 cases per 100,000. The state average was 363.5 in 2006.

The report also noted an increase in cases in Hispanic males and a continued disproportionate segment of black males diagnosed with the disease as well as an increased rate in HIV infections. All of this of course should be no surprise to many, given the closure of Fresno County’s HIV/STD closure in 2010 as a result of austerity budget cuts.

“STDs appear to be entrenched in the community” and “the persistence of STDs is established and needs to be addressed to bring down the rate,”

– Jared Rutledge, County’s epidemiologist.

The report includes recommendations for addressing STD problems, such as improving outreach to teenagers and community based education and relationship building with medical staff and doctors.

Sexually active persons should get tested regularly.

Yet another result of budget cuts and shouldn’t be surprised as of 2013 the county hasn’t released a communicable disease annual report in several years. The report is invaluable for many reasons. According to David Luchini, assistant director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health, “It helps them if they go after grants.”
Not only does it help public health workers identify health issues, but it establishes a blue print for community-based organizations.

Taking a step back and looking at the overall trend of STDs in California, there is a similar trend in other counties.

California STD Stats

  • At the end of 2010, 513 people out of every 100,000 in Los Angeles County were living with HIV.

About Clovis

The city of Clovis began as a freight stop along the San Joaquin Valley Railroad. Organized on January 15, 1890, by Fresno businessmen Thomas E. Hughes, Fulton Berry, Gilbert R. Osmun, H.D. Colson, John D. Gray, and William M. Williams, in partnership with Michigan railroad speculator Marcus Pollasky, the SJVRR began construction in Fresno on July 4, 1891, and reached the farmlands of Clovis Cole and George Owen by October of that year.

Clovis is situated nearly exactly midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, bordering Fresno, in the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley. Lying at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, which includes Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks, Clovis has been known as “Gateway to the Sierras” since its incorporation in 1912.

About Clovis Califorina 93611

Like the rest of Fresno County and the Central Valley, Clovis began as a freight stop along the San Joaquin Valley Railroad. Clovis is situated midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, right next to the count seat Fresno, in the agriculture economic focus region of the San Joaquin Valley. With close proximity to the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks, Clovis has been known as “Gateway to the Sierras” since its incorporation in 1912. The formation of what are known as alluvial fans in this part of Califorina’s Central Valley has led to a rather flat regional geography. The elevation of Clovis is approximately 355 feet above sea level. According to the Flood Hazard Boundary Map produced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, part of Clovis is within the 100-year flood zone, such as some of the area near the Clovis Towne Center. The groundwater flow in Clovis is generally to the southwest. The area is known for it’s predominantly white demographic, and better schools, making it an idealized city to live in for some in Fresno County.
