In 2018, there were a reported 3,855 cases of gonorrhea per 100,000 people.
Broward County HIV statistics show that in 2015, 1,180 out of 100,000 residents were living with HIV.
The public should be aware that there are many resources available through the health department as well as private doctors offices and clinics.
The Coalition to Reduce HIV in Broward County was designed to help increase HIV awareness and education to the community and help to reduce the rate of new infections in the African-American, Hispanic and Caribbean communities.
“More HIV infections progress to AIDS here than in any other state, in part because many infected people who start taking antiretroviral (ARV) drugs don’t stick with them.”
There are many choices in Coconut Creek for free and paid STD testing such as Sunshine Health Center on Hammondville Road, Broward Community and Family Health Center Incorporated on North Powerline Road in Pompano Beach. Paul Hughes Health Center on Northwest 6th Avenue in Pompano Beach also offers AIDS Drug Assistance as well as screening.
Many of these clinics offer STD testing services at a sliding scale fee, dependent on income and need or welfare eligibility, and at times may be able to offer free STD testing. However, your test results may not be available immediately.
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 CDC2 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.
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.
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.
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.
