North Lauderdale, FL, is in the midst of an STD epidemic that’s not showing signs of slowing down. In 2017, nearly 20,000 people were living in Fort Lauderdale with HIV, and 708 of those cases were new.
An estimated 13 % of people with new diagnoses developed AIDS within three months of identifying their HIV status. 71 % of new male infections spread through male-to-male sexual contact and 83 % of new diagnoses in women occurred through heterosexual contact.
It’s not just HIV. Chlamydia cases jumped from 9,928 new infections in 2016 to 11,347 in 2018 and gonorrhea diagnoses bounced from 3,632 in 2016 to 3,855 in 2018.
Local health officials in Broward County are worried about the spike in the area’s HIV rate to 45 new cases for every 100,000 people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Fort Lauderdale is one of the four cities in Florida that have the highest rates in the country.
North Lauderdale offers dozens of STD testing facilities. Broward Health at the Margate Health Center on Coconut Creek Pkwy is one choice that’s easy to access off US 441 and via the # 60 bus.
Total MD is another option on W Cypress Creek Rd in Fort Lauderdale. Reach this clinic by the NW 62 S/NW 26 A bus.
STI screenings are also available at the Compassionate Hearts Serving Hands on NW 22nd St in Fort Lauderdale.
Yes, there might be some locations that provide free STD testing. These most likely require proof of income and it’s hard to find one with comprehensive STI screenings, treatment, and follow-up care in the same clinic.
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.
