The people of eastern Florida, specifically Volusia County where Orange City resides, should be quite proud of their downward trend of HIV cases. Per every 100,000 people, the rate of new HIV diagnoses in Volusia has dropped from 33 per year in 1998 to 15.62 in 2017. Nothing to sneeze at—that’s almost half!
Unfortunately, not all of their STI rates have shown the same decrease.
In fact, the rate of chlamydia cases has more than doubled in the Orange City area since 2006. For 2018, they had 394.6 new cases of that particular sexually transmitted disease.
There were a reported 141.3 new cases of gonorrhea per 100,000 people in 2018. Though it’s worth noting, that number was slightly down from 2017’s high of 168.3.
Back in 2006, there was only a rate of 0.8 new syphilis cases per 100,000 people. Now in 2018, 7.3 for every 100,000 people tested, not including congenital cases, have syphilis. For Volusia County, a concerning surge of congenital syphilis affected 61.4 newborns in 2018.
For cheap, affordable testing in the Orange City area, there are a few options. On Enterprise Road you’ll find a Quest Diagnostics and a MinuteClinic. Walk-ins are welcome but be prepared to spend some time waiting. For more options, or to find free STD testing, you may need to make a drive and check out the public clinics in larger, surrounding cities. If you find same day testing, there may still be a long wait time increasing the chance you’ll bump into someone who knows you (something to keep in mind if privacy is important to you). Volusia County Health Department has locations in Daytona and New Smyrna Beach. For HIV testing and support, there’s a Rising Against All Odds in DeLand.
To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Orange City clinics with our easy-to-read chart.
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.

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.

The number of sexually transmitted diseases is rising across the state, and this includes Orange City and surrounding Volusia County. For the past twenty years the rate of infection has been steadily increasing, and this trend seems to be continuing at an even faster rate than before.
While there have been slight deceases over the years in Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and even Syphilis rates, statistics released by the CDC show that now the number of reported incidents is only increasing. This has lead to renewed efforts to improve the sexual education programs in schools, but no change to the current curriculum is currently scheduled.
Some county officials point to the fact that Chlamydia rates in men and women have remained basically unchanged for the past five years, but health experts state these numbers are still too high for residents safety. Gonorrhea rates in men are rising at an alarming rate, along with their chances of contracting primary or secondary Syphilis.
The resurgence of Syphilis in older adults has health officials particularly concerned. Many had thought that this STD was under control, and that it no longer posed a threat to the community. With the number of African American, Hispanic and Caucasian males who test positive for Syphilis continuing to rise, health officials can’t stress enough how important it is for residents to get tested for all STDs regularly.
Some of the statistics released by the CDC that are causing alarm include,

Since the program’s introduction over twenty years ago the state and county have relied on teaching students the importance of abstaining from having intercourse as an effective means of preventing STDs. While abstinence is really the best method of preventing pregnancy, it cannot stop the spread of all STDs.
Not all sexually transmitted diseases are spread through intercourse, and even using protection is not an absolute method of protection. Some viruses can be easily spread through casual contract, which is one of the reasons Herpes is so prevalent in many high schools. Not all STDs display immediate signs or symptoms, so students cannot even rely on this as an effective way of staying safe.
Without the information they need to protect themselves from STDs, teens and young adults will continue to be in the highest risk groups. Regular Herpes testing in Orange City can help protect students and teachers at school, and the simple procedure only takes a few minutes of their time. Regular HIV testing in Orange City is also vital for your continued good health, and it is also the only reliable method of checking for this potentially deadly disease.
Even though this city might be small it still is home to a diverse population that is affecting the STD rates in the area. There is a large Hispanic population which is making it difficult for health professionals to stress the importance of regular STD testing, due to language barriers and a deep rooted mistrust of government officials.
Many of the African American residents simply believe that a STD will never happen to them, and a large number of men are too ashamed to admit that there might be a problem with their sexual health. Many of these residents are also unable to afford the cost of regular STD testing, and choose to ignore any health concerns until the signs and symptoms are severe. This makes it easy for them to pass the sexually transmitted diseases on to their partners and loved ones.
Another contributing factor is the presence of manatees at the warm water springs and the millions of tourists it brings to the area every year. While Orange City is depended economically on the state park, it can also cause STD rates to rise significantly. Not every visitor is tested regularly and many do not even know if they have a STD, this puts residents and everyone else they come in contact with at risk for developing a sexually transmitted disease.
Recent budget cuts to the community and county health programs is making it difficult for residents to find a place to be tested, and the long lines at the clinics still open are causing many people to put off this important checkup.
Before you decide to watch the manatees play on the river it is important to take a few minutes and take responsibility for your sexual health. The simple procedure only takes a few minutes and it could potentially save your life. If you don’t want to spend the day at one of the neighborhood clinics, you can avoid the long wait and schedule confidential STD testing. This way you only have to spend 20 minutes or so at a nearby lab, and still have the day to spend enjoying the Florida sun.
