South Miami Heights, FL, in Miami-Dade County, is struggling with an STD crisis. In 2018, Miami’s HIV rate jumped to nearly four times the national average with 54 new diagnoses for every 100,000 cases, giving the city the highest infection rate in the country.
The STD outbreaks are more than HIV. The area’s also seen a jump in chlamydia and gonorrhea. In 2015, Miami-Dade County reported 11,862 new cases of chlamydia, and in 2018, it increased to 13,415 new annual cases. Also between 2015 and 2018, gonorrhea diagnoses nearly doubled from 2,600 to 4,315.
State and county officials are more than concerned about the HIV outbreak in South Florida. According to the CDC, the area’s HIV infection rate is more than three times the national average.
STD testing locations aren’t hard to find in South Miami. The University of Miami Health System provides screenings at Walgreens Pharmacy, which is conveniently located at the corner of SW 137 Ave and 152 St. The SW 137 bus route stops here.
Community Health of South Florida offers a few sites including the Doris Ison Health Center on SW 216th St and the Naranja Health Center at the corner of SW 264th St and SW 138th Ct. Both locations are on the local bus route.
For Planned Parenthood STD screening services, the nearest location is at the Kendall Health Center on SW 117th Ave in Miami.
Some facilities may offer free STD testing for income-qualified patients. But, these will require proof that you meet federal poverty guidelines and they might not offer comprehensive screenings.
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.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
