As part of the Miami and Fort Lauderdale metropolitan areas, Lauderhill shares those cities’ STD problems to some extent—and the STD problems in South Florida are serious.
In 2015, there were 18,867 people living with HIV or AIDS in Broward County, with a prevalence rate of 1,180 per 100K people. To compare, Florida’s rate that year was 615.
Health officials are concerned that the numbers are surely higher, as many people out there don’t know they’re infected, and they urge everyone to be tested regularly, even if they are not experiencing symptoms.
In 2017, there were 11,289 chlamydia cases in Broward County, at a rate of 599 per 100K people. Florida’s rate was 486.8. The gonorrhea and infectious syphilis rates were 209.1 and 17.5, also higher than Florida’s rates.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Lauderhill, and many more options in the surrounding area. Broward Community & Family Health Centers, located in Lauderhill Mall, tests for, treats, and provides counseling for HIV. The Urgent Medical Center on Broward Blvd also screens for HIV.
If you can get to Fort Lauderdale, there are public clinics that provide free STD testing. Keep in mind that public clinics tend to have longer wait times and you may be seen by others while you’re waiting. If this is an issue for you, there are other options.
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.
