Englewood, FL, is a community in two busy counties, Charlotte and Sarasota, which places it between the Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice metro area and the Punta Gorda metro area. Its proximity is increasing the intensity of the community's STD outbreak.
Overall, bacterial infections have been on the rise in the area, with Sarasota County reporting 1,371 cases in 2016, and then jumping to 1,628 three years later in 2019.
Chlamydia is one of the growing number of STDs near Englewood. From 2016 to 2019, it went from 1,025 to 1,142 infections.
Gonorrhea has been slowly creeping up in the area. In 2016, it had 288 diagnoses. By 2019, the number of new infections hit 367.
County health officials in the two counties are concerned about the rise in STD cases. To combat it, both are asking sexually active individuals to get regular STD testing and help slow the spread of the preventable diseases.
Several centers near Englewood offer comprehensive STD testing. Many locations include treatment and follow-up services.
One option is CAN Community Health at the Comprehensive Care Center on Tamiami Trail in North Port. It operates another site at the Comprehensive Care Center on N. Tuttle Ave in Sarasota.
You can also use the AFC Urgent Care Sarasota Clinic on S. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota.
Some sites may offer free STD testing. While these sound great, there may be a catch. No-cost centers often only have limited screening hours. Additionally, there may be hidden charges, boosting the overall cost.
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.

Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
