Miami-Dade County, where Scott Lake, FL, is a census-designated place, has experienced a slight increase in the number of HIV infections over the past few years. The HIV prevalence rate rose from a low of 25,564 per 100,000 individuals recorded in 2014 to 26,213 in 2020.
There was a surge in Chlamydia infections from 399.2 per 100,000 persons in 2013 to 522.5 in 2019, indicating a 30.9% increase. Females aged 15 to 29 years recorded a majority of the infections.
The rate of Gonorrhea infections doubled from a low of 91.1per 100,000 persons in 2014 to 177.5 in 2019. Non-Hispanic black females registered a higher infection rate than their white counterparts.
Total Syphilis cases in the county escalated from a rate of 58.2 per 100,000 individuals in 2013 to 114.3 in 2019, with most infections occurring in males compared to females.
The Miami Dade County Health Department, in collaboration with The Florida Department of Health, operates an STD/HIV program that emphasizes the change of sexual behavior to reduce further spread of infections. It assists with diagnosis, treatment, and counseling sex partners and at-risk individuals, including men who have sex with other men. Not only does it improve access to PrEP/PEP services, but it also promotes both HIV awareness and community response through engagement, outreach, and messaging.
Residents in the census-designated place can access comprehensive STD/HIV screening at Planned Parenthood - Golden Glades-Miami Health Center. Other health care clinics include UHealth Jackson Urgent Care | North Dade, Palmetto General Hospital, and Doctor's Medical Center.
You can also visit some local clinics for free STD testing, but you may encounter long wait times, and doctor consultation might not be available.
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.
