County health officials are concerned about the growing number of new STD infections and are asking all sexually active community members to get tested for STD regularly and help stop the spread of these preventable diseases.
There are several health centers in West Melbourne and the surrounding areas that offer comprehensive STD testing. Many locations provide treatment and follow-up care in the same building.
Brevard Health Alliance Incorporated offers STI screenings on the corner of Silver Palm Ave and S Babcock St in Melbourne. This clinic is located near a pharmacy.
The Florida Department of Health in Brevard County operates the Melbourne Clinic on E University St.
Another option is the Project Response Incorporated Brevard County Office on S Appollo Blvd in Melbourne.
Some sites may offer free STD testing. These locations might ask for proof of income, and county clinics may need proof of address. Additionally, appointment times might be inconvenient, and walk-in services may not be possible.
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.
