Coral Springs is in an STD hot spot, namely, Southeast Florida, in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale metropolitan areas. In 2015, there were 18,867 living with HIV or AIDS in Broward County, and 762 more people were diagnosed in 2016 (306 HIV-positive individuals also died that year). Coral Springs’s HIV prevalence rate is a bit lower than Broward County’s—ranging from 142 to 668 per 100K people in Coral Springs’s zip codes.
In 2017, Broward County had 11,289 chlamydia cases, at a rate of 599 per 100K people. For comparison, Florida’s rate was 486.8. The gonorrhea and infectious syphilis rates were 209.1 and 17.5. There were 11 cases of congenital syphilis.
Health officials are concerned about the people out there who have not yet been tested and may be spreading STIs to others.
There is still a social stigma surrounding STIs, especially HIV and especially directed toward gay or bisexual men, which may make people reluctant to come to a clinic. But the medical professionals there are discreet and only want to help you. To combat the rising rates, some Florida organizations provide free STD testing during awareness events.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Coral Springs, and even more options in the surrounding areas. Walking Urgent Care, on Sample Rd, provides confidential STI testing, including for HIV, hepatitis, herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
CareSpot Urgent Care, at Ramblewood Square, does HIV screening. The CVS MinuteClinic does basic STD screenings in several locations.
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.

The Center for Disease Control maintains a national database for housing all information about diseases and their spread. They carefully monitor situations in which epidemics have or may soon develop. The CDC is the entity that is responsible for providing the reports that let cities know how they are doing and address any obvious problems that arise. The following information shows the STD infection rate for the Coral Springs area.
The information presented here has been collected by local doctors, hospitals and STD testing centers for inclusion in the national database. Analysts carefully put together reports that show results for each region so local health department officials can assess the need to take action. For this region, the area health departments are working with public schools and other organizations to develop strategies for reaching the public with educational information and resources to help in minimizing the damage of the rampant spread of STD infections and reducing the number of incidences.

The difficulty faced by health department officials is in getting information in their hands. Poverty is one of the leading factors which has been identified. Unfortunately, there are dense pockets of people in the region who fit into this category. Many of them do not have access to public educational resources or quality health care. The combination of a lack of financial resources and a lack of exposure to information about STD rates and risk factors only makes the problem worse. People who do not know the signs and symptoms of infection may unknowingly spread these diseases without realizing it. Further complications include the fact that not all STDs present symptoms in the beginning stages of infection. It is believed that this is at least in part, the reason why the rates are so high in the area. The demographics with high percentages of people in high risk categories impacts the testing rates in a negative manner, so those who have the greatest need may be unaware of it and consequently, do not get the testing that they should have.
Public education programs are currently in force to get the information out. They will leave the courses with a full understanding of what causes STD infection and how to prevent them. If they do become infected, they will know where to go for a Herpes test or HIV testing in their city. In the years to come, these children will grow into informed adults who are armed with the knowledge that is needed for them to avoid STD infection and hopefully reduce the rates dramatically.
During STD testing processes demographic data is collected and used to determine who is at the highest risk. Of those showing positive results, the data clearly shows that infection rates are highest for certain types of STD in accordance with financial status, age, gender and sexual preference.
Regardless of your gender, age, ethnicity or financial status, if you have had unprotected sex with someone whose monogamy cannot be verified, you are at some type of risk. If there is any doubt whatsoever, you should get STD testing. You’ll find that ordering STD testing is fast and easy. After your order, simply follow up with a visit to a local STD testing clinic to finish the brief process.
