South Florida has some of the highest STD rates in the country. 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.
Health officials in South Florida are concerned that people are not coming in for testing and treatment due to the social stigma. Heroin use is also responsible for some of those numbers.
In 2017, Broward County had 11,289 chlamydia cases, at a rate of 599, higher than Florida’s rate of 486.8.
The gonorrhea and infectious syphilis rates were 209.1 and 17.5, both above Florida’s rates. Health officials recommend that all sexually active individuals get tested regularly, even if they are not seeing symptoms.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Miramar, and even more options in the surrounding area. You may qualify for free STD testing in public clinics if you can prove your inability to pay.
South Broward Community Health Services, located on Pembroke Rd, offers STD and HIV testing and treatment. Flamingo Women’s Pavilion, on the same street, also does STI screening. CVS MinuteClinic does basic STI screening at some locations.
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.

While the state is dealing with a high rate of sexually transmitted diseases and rising incident rates, Broward County and the small bedroom community of Miramar are taking its own proactive steps. Instead of hoping that teens and young adults will simply refrain from having sex, public officials and parents have decided to start education their children.
Realizing that abstinence only programs were ineffective and outdated, area officials have now made it mandatory for public schools to offer comprehensive and medically accurate sexual education programs. Accepting the fact that students really were having sex, these classes are aimed at keeping them safe.
Studies have shown that education is the best method of lowering STD rates and eventually stopping the spread of the infections. In states where sexual education programs are already mandatory, the results have been encouraging. STD rates across the board in these areas have fallen dramatically, along with the number of teen pregnancies. With these results backing them up, area officials are hopeful that they will soon start to see the same positive effects.
Regardless of how effective the sexual education classes are it is still important to take care of your health. Regular Herpes testing in Miramar can prevent flare-ups and stop the spread of the virus. Regular HIV testing in Miramar is also vital for your health, and the simple procedure is quick, painless.
When you are looking at the STD rates for an area demographics will always play a key role, and this is certainly true in this small community.
Located next to Miami and the beaches at Fort Lauderdale the area has a large number of tourists who visit annually, and many are infected with a STD. The neighborhood’s close proximity to the city also makes it easier for residents to engage in risky behavior that includes the use of intravenous drugs. It is also becoming more common for teens and young adults to simply “forget” to use a condom, and this is also one of the reasons why the area has voted to make comprehensive sexual education classes mandatory in the public schools.
Language barriers in the Hispanic neighborhoods, along with strict conservative religious beliefs can make it difficult for health officials to convince everyone of the importance of regular testing. These strong religious beliefs can also make it difficult for teens to discuss their sexuality or STDs, and this is only increasing their risk of getting infected. This lack of guidance and education has lead health officials to hope that the new programs will be an effective tool at stopping the spread of STDs in the area.
Before you head to the clubs in Miami or plan time at the beach, look for a STI clinic. Even with recent budget cuts there are still a few community clinics open for the public to take advantage of, but this is an easier and more convenient way to get tested.
