The rate of Gonorrhoea infections has steadily increased from 65 cases per 100,000 persons in 2005 to 128.5 cases per 100,000 persons in 2017. The infection rate among youths aged 15 to 19 years was the highest in 2009 with 6,009 reported cases.
HIV cases have been gradually increasing since 2013 with rates being high in adults aged 20 to 34 years old. Male to male sexual contact accounted for over 75 percent of new cases diagnosed in men. In 2017, HIV rates were 3.8 times higher among males than females
Chlamydia infections in Kendall-Perrine Florida have been the highest compared to other STDs. In 2005, the rate of infection was 150 per 100,000 persons and in 2017 it had increased to 445.4 cases per 100,000.
The main agenda of the Miami-Dade County Department of Health is to stop the increase of STDs cases by identifying, examining, and ensuring quick treatment for those who have tested positive with STDs. Furthermore, the department has developed online reporting guidelines for STDs and educational resources for improved awareness.
There are several medical centers in Kendall where residents can get treatment.
West Kendall Health Center, Kendall Regional Medical Center, and Community Health Center of South Florida Inc are some of available options you could consider.
Free STD testing services might be provided in some of the public health centers. However,you may need to book an appointment beforehand and wait for 1 to 2 weeks for results.
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.

This primarily residential area often falls off the grid when it comes to their health rankings. Thrown in with the county’s, some residents might feel that their census-designated neighborhood is safe from the problems of the “big cities”. This is not true. You live and work in Miami-Dade, and this means that their problems affect you. The overall health ratings are not good, and this also pertains to the ones for STDs.
There are two things you need to know before going in. You can show up unannounced for HIV and Hep C testing, but appointments are needed if you want to be screened for syphilis, gonorrhea or chlamydia. All tests are free, no matter what virus or infection you want to be checked for.
Latinos Salud does provide free screenings for HIV and a few other sexually transmitted infections. Rapid tests for Hep C and HIV are here, but other results will take a few days to come back. Along with partnering with Ryan White Case Management, they also have events for clients that are designed to help educate and strengthen the gay Latino Community.

When you're ready to go in for STI screening, you need to call the clinic. This will also give you a chance to ask about fees.

The size of your family will also be taken into consideration.

6601 SW 62nd Ave, South Miami, FL 33143, USA
When you’re ready for your STD test, hopefully now, Planned Parenthood is on SW 88th St, less than 3 miles away from most residences. A well-known advocate for sexual health, you can rest assured that you will be in good hands. Do call ahead, they are busy and won’t take anyone that doesn’t have a prior appointment. Since they do provide a multitude of services, you can remain anonymous about the reason you are there. The only downside is that you might still run into someone you know.
Miami-Dade health department has screenings for all types of STDs. Located in West Perrine, you will want to double check times and fees. Since it is managed by the county fees can be reduced or waived, just bring the necessary paperwork with you when you show up. They will not just take your word that you are unable to pay. They also go out into the field, and you might be able to find a mobile STI testing station near you. Locations vary where they set up, and it is only at certain times of the year so you will have to plan ahead.
Jackson Health System requires you to live in the county, but they will evaluate your finances to determine how much your appointment will cost. Proof of income and residency will be required, but they may have a shorter wait than the county health clinics. You can find them on SW 62nd Ave. If that is too far than head to SW 8th St and you’ll find Borinquen Medical Centers of Miami-Dade. The only downside is that they might not allow you to pay a reduced fee, regardless of your income.
HIV is the precursor to AIDS and both are frightening viruses. Even though your county has one of the highest infection rates, you don’t have to be one of those listed in the statistics. Anytime you get a STI checkup, ask about an HIV screening. Most facilities will be more than happy to oblige.
These include Planned Parenthood and the county’s health clinics.
Care Resource Community Health Center runs promotionals that include free screenings for HIV. This offer is only during a prespecified time so check their website for the next date. Expect lines, and results can take up to 4 days but if payment for a STI test could be an issue it is worth checking out.
Latinos Salud on SW 107th welcomes everyone, and you don’t have to worry about language barriers. This community organization has rapid HIV blood tests so you’ll get results in minutes instead of days. Payment can be arranged if you have difficulty paying, and this does draw in daily crowds. You can offset some of the wait by scheduling an appointment, but this does not guarantee that you still won’t have to sit in the reception room.
The only time walk-ins can get tested at Community Health of South Florida Inc., is for HIV. They do have rapid testing, and sometimes it can be free if you have the proper documentation. Since every other service requires an appointment you can expect crowds. You will also want to arrive early to secure a parking spot and your place in line.
If this all seems to be a hassle, try a private HIV/STI clinic. There are several around, and you are guaranteed not to wait. Discretion is their goal, along with giving results before you are out the door.
Information on sexual health isn’t lacking, it can just be a little harder to find. Since parents must agree that their child can take a sex ed class in school, kids often don’t get to participate. It’s not always anyone’s fault, it can be hard to get a permission slip home for a class and get it back to school.
When this happens, look to one of the community health centers. The county even sponsors a few. There you can find everything you need to know about sexually transmitted diseases. A key part of prevention is knowledge and these centers know this. Programs are held for anyone that wants to attend. You can also find brochures and pamphlets free for the taking at most places. Even if you have to drive a few miles, it is worth it when you consider the ramifications STDs can have on your life.
Knowing how these diseases and infections can affect you is the first step towards stopping their further spread.
Beaches, fabulous shopping and great food at any price isn’t too far away, which makes the planned neighborhood a popular one in the metro. Unfortunately, this and other factors are causing health rankings to plummet, especially the soaring STDs being treated. It doesn’t have to be this way if everyone got tested. Public clinics have their downsides but they are there to help. Private STI testing labs have none of the disadvantages, and there is probably one closer than you think.
