Gonorrhea infections have nearly doubled over ten years, with 496 in 2008 and 753 in 2019. In 2008, there were only nine new infectious syphilis diagnoses. That number jumped to 39 in 2018. There were 24 early syphilis infections in 2008. A decade later, 109 new cases were confirmed.
Congenital syphilis is passed from mother to child. Until 2013, none were reported. In 2018, the county reported three new cases.
HIV rates are also worrisome with 86 new infections diagnosed in 2018.
Local health officials in Volusia County are concerned about the rising rate of STDs and in particular, gonorrhea, and they’re urging the public to seek testing and treatment.
There are more than a dozen locations in and near Deland that provide STD testing. Many clinics include comprehensive screenings, sexual health awareness, treatment, and follow-up care.
One option is the Orange Blossom Family Health’s Sanford Clinic at the Harvest Time International Building on the corner of Narcissus Ave and Harvest Time Dr.
Another site in Sanford is True Health, located on E Lake Mary Blvd. This clinic is accessible by public transportation.
Free STD testing may be possible at some locations. These free services could require proof of income and might not include treatment, follow-up care, or consultation with a doctor.
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 CDC2Â 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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
