South Florida has a big problem with STDs, and there are many reasons for it, including insufficient sex education, high poverty levels (not everyone who lives in paradise is rich), and high numbers of vacationers. Broward County’s HIV prevalence rates are even higher than those of Miami-Dade, at 1,180 in 2015. That year, there were 18,867 living with HIV or AIDS in Broward County.
The chlamydia rate in 2017 was 599 per 100K people, higher than Florida’s rate of 486.8, and rising. The gonorrhea rate was 209.1, and the infectious syphilis rate was 17.5.
There are some STD-testing clinics in Pembroke Pines, and there are even more options if you can get to Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood (and you may be able to find free STD testing in the larger cities). AssociatesMD Urgent Care provides STI screening, and you can find them at Flamingo Falls.
Planned Parenthood is located on N University Dr and tests for STIs and treats all except HIV for a low fee based on your income. Family Medical Center is located on the same street. The South Florida Doctors Group on Hiatus Rd offers full STD panels.
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.

With everything from community organizations to county and private ones, finding a clinic for STI testing is easier than navigating the summer beach crowds.
If you’re by University Dr. you can’t miss the Planned Parenthood building. Not because of the protesters, there usually aren’t any, but because of it’s size. Like any of the facilities you do need to call ahead, this is important if you want to be considered for a reduced testing fee. If they don’t know before you arrive, you will be charged the entire cost.
NSU (Nova Southeastern University) clinics are open to everyone and STI testing can be free. Since it is a health care center the reason for your visit can remain anonymous, but their broad range of services can come with a wait. They do have multiple locations in the area so you should find one that can accommodate you.
Don’t forget about the Florida Dept. of Health. Their multiple locations ensure convenience, and some might keep weekend hours. Just browse their website or call and they’ll direct you to a clinic.

HIV is a virus that affects your autoimmune system when it becomes AIDS. The disease is not as deadly as it once was, it can be managed with drugs. However, it can’t be cured and will still have a major impact on your life. The staff at PharmCO Rx take the threat of this virus seriously, which is why they have free HIV testing at all their locations. They have an office on N Miami Beach Blvd, along with several others. Call to see if there is one closer if needed.
BMC (Borinquen Medical Centers) have both rapid and conventional blood HIV testing. Appointments are suggested, but if you are in serious pain they will try to see you as soon as possible. Their website will direct you to the nearest location, though there is one on NE 125th St. Insurance is a plus, but they will also work with those that qualify for reduced or no fees.
If you need to know now if you are HIV positive head to the Jessie Trice Community Health Center. They typically have shorter waits for appointments, and rapid tests are their specialty. This means that you’ll find out your status in 20 min. or so. Since they are community based there are clinics throughout the area.

Sometimes a public clinic might be the reason you are avoiding testing. In this case, a private lab is probably best. There are dozens in the neighborhood, and they are low cost even without insurance.

Country clubs and backyard waterways are the norm in Pembroke Pines, and so are sexually transmitted diseases. While no one wants to lose the golf courses and easy access to boating, most wouldn’t mind STIs going away. The only way this can happen is if you get tested at a private clinic. More discreet than a public center and just as affordable, labs that are privately run are also faster.
