Deland, FL, is the county seat of Volusia County. The city is noted for its proximity to beaches, theme parks, and natural springs. It’s also home to Stetson University. However, the county is still far from ending the HIV pandemic.
HIV incidences have been oscillating in recent years. For instance, in 2017, county health officials reported 84 diagnoses, which increased slightly to 84 in 2018. By 2019, the cases had reduced to 79.
The number of individuals infected with Chlamydia dropped from 2,128 in 2017 to 1,924 in 2021. On the contrary, Gonorrhea infections shot up from 884 in 2017 to 913 at the year-end of 2021.
Also, all stages of Syphilis infection surged. There were 108 Syphilis occurrences in 2017, but in 2021, the total cases amounted to 309.
The community health workers at Volusia County Health Department have intensified outreach and educational activities to increase community awareness of STDs. The health department also provides confidential HIV/STD testing, counseling, and treatment.
In addition, it facilitates linkage to resources, such as the Aids drug assistance program (ADAP), for low-income individuals living with HIV.
There are various establishments within and around Deland, FL, where you can go for HIV/STD testing. For instance, Medical Health Centers - Deland, AdventHealth Fish Memorial, and MedExpress Urgent Care.
If you’re uninsured and live in the low-income bracket, you may qualify for free STD testing in a few clinics within the city. However, one shortcoming of such services is that you may not get your results immediately. Again, costs may not be upfront.
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
