South Daytona, FL, is a coastal city in Volusia County dealing with an STD outbreak that's growing quickly.
The area's seeing an increase across-the-board with rises in all sexually transmitted infections.
Chlamydia diagnoses are increasing. In 2015, it had 1,695 new cases, and four years later, in 2019, it had 2,048.
Gonorrhea infections are going up. In 2015, the county reported 588 and in 2019, that number jumped to 715 diagnoses.
All syphilis infections are on the rise. The area listed 61 in 2015, and a few short years later, it more than doubled, with 199 new cases.
The Volusia County Health Department is concerned about the quick jump in new STD diagnoses. To combat the outbreak, officials are asking all sexually active men and women to seek regular STD testing and protect themselves and their loved ones.
Several locations are available for comprehensive STD screenings in South Daytona Beach, FL, and nearby. Most sites also include treatment and follow-up care on-site.
One option is Outreach Community Care Network on N. Frederick Ave. in Daytona Beach.
Another choice is CAN Community Health Comprehensive Care Center on Dunn Ave. in Daytona Beach.
Also on Dunn Ave. is Primary Healthcare Alliance.
Live Love Life Incorporated on Ridgewood Ave. in Holly Hill also provides services.
Some clinics offer free STD testing. While these sound great, check to see if they require proof of income before scheduling an appointment. Additionally, these locations might have a long wait to get results. A low-cost facility may offer quicker answers.
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
