Your trusted source for comprehensive and unbiased STD testing locations, statistics, and resources. Backed by board-certified physicians and aligned with CDC guidelines, we're committed to providing accurate, up-to-date information to empower your health choices.

What STD tests do I need?

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.

When should I get tested?

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.

How are STD tests done?

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.

How fast do I get my results?

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. 

SaferSTD has researched and identified the most accredited and most reputable testing locations. Click here to find a preferred location near you.

What same-day testing locations are available in Fort Myers, FL?

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.

How much will STD testing cost in Fort Myers, FL?

The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.

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. 

SaferSTD has researched and identified reputable locations that offer upfront pricing without hidden fees. Click here to find a preferred location near you.

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.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Demographics in Fort Myers, FL

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.
