Anne Arundel County, home to Riviera Beach, a census-designated place, recorded an HIV infection rate of 1,378 per 100,000 population in 2019. However, the diagnostic rate reduced to 1,338 per 100,000 people in 2020. In 2017, the highest number of HIV diagnoses occurred amongst individuals between the age of 20 to 29 at 19 cases out of a total of 42.
The incidence rate stood at 24.5, accounting for 45.2 percent of the total.
According to the county’s STD surveillance data, the number of new Chlamydia infections had increased from 2017. Chlamydia infections escalated from 2,316 cases reported at a rate of 404.0 in 2018 to 2,710 diagnoses happening at a rate of 467.9 in 2019.
Meanwhile, new Syphilis infections spiked from 27 diagnoses prevailing at a rate of 4.7 in 2018 to 39 cases happening at a rate of 6.8 in 2019.
544 new Gonorrhoea cases were recorded at a 94.9 rate in 2018, which increased to 681 infections in 2019 reported at a 117.6 incidence rate.
Anne Arundel County has had a steady rise in STI rates, primarily amongst persons aged between 15 to 24 years. To reduce the high rates of infections, the Anne Arundel County Department of Health’s HIV/STD Prevention and Care Program has implemented new strategies targeting the younger population. These include improving access to comprehensive care, STD education and counseling services, annual STD testing initiatives for high-risk populations, and condoms in designated areas within the county.
Some of the health centers in Riviera Beach that provide sexual health services include Howard County General Hospital, WiseCare Urgent Care, and the Planned Parenthood - Baltimore City Health Center.
Free STD testing may be provided in some of the clinics, but their operating hours might not be convenient, and the waiting times can be quite long.
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.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
