Sexual Health Education

STD Testing and Sexual Health Education in Fort Myers, FL

Rising rates of teenage pregnancies and stds recently have caused Lee County, Florida school officials to expand health education in local middle schools and high schools. Florida law states that in order for high school students to graduate, they must receive one-half credit in “life management skills” in either ninth or tenth grade. The course must include instruction in the prevention of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), family life, the benefits of sexual abstinence, and the consequences of teen pregnancy. It also states that these “descriptions for comprehensive health education shall not interfere with the local determination of appropriate curriculum which reflects local values and concerns.”

Abstinence-based models are the foundation for most programs, but expanding past these models has offended some community members who were not pleased with this choice. Local churches worry that programs promote condoms too readily and debate the inclusion of “variations in lifestyles” to the list of topics, instead directing the focus on the specifics of health education.

Everyone needs to be aware that viral infections can be transmitted through asymptomatic casual contact, so regular Herpes testing is very important. Regular HIV testing is vital to everyone’s health and well being.

The area is where one of the main intersections of old and new Florida. The population includes families that live there year round, as well as the “snowbird” population that fills the restaurants and bars during the winter months. It’s a popular tourist destination not just for northern visitors but for the rest of Florida as well.

With so many visitors from outside the region, delivery of health care can be a challenge. Many people are away from their usual, trusted health care professionals and not all insurance plans are usable on vacation to the same extent as they are at home. And frankly, a sore or a cough is just not a priority to deal with when you are trying to make the most out of your time in sunny Florida.

Losses in services has not helped, since approximately one in five people in the city don’t have health insurance and do not see a doctor regularly. Due to budget cuts by the state, county health departments have lost on average 15-20% of their positions and this area is no exception.
