Wright, FL, is a suburb of Fort Walton, in Okaloosa County, that's fighting an STD outbreak.
Gonorrhea infections are steadily increasing, with 138 in 2014 and 231 in 2018. The highest rate of infection was among men with 146 new cases per 100,000 people in 2018.
Infectious syphilis diagnoses were also rising fast with one new infection in 2014 and 21 in 2018. There's also been a jump in early latent syphilis with four diagnoses in 2014 and 30 in 2018.
Chlamydia cases are also creeping up. In 2014, the county reported 869 infections, and in 2018, it had 1,102. The highest rate of infection was among women in 2018, with a rate of 414 new diagnoses for every 100,000 residents.
Public health officials in Fort Walton are urging sexually active persons to see their physician or go to a testing facility for regular STD tests to help stop the spread of these dangerous infections.
There are several locations in Wright and the surrounding areas that provide comprehensive STD testing. Many sites provide preventive care, treatment, and aftercare services.
CAN Community Health offers screenings at its Fort Walton Beach Center on Hurlburt Rd.
The Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County operates the Fort Walton Beach Clinic on the corner of NE Hospital Dr and Staff Dr NE.
Some health centers may provide free STD testing. These clinics might not have a physician on staff to speak with patients and treatment could be a hidden charge that's not included with testing. Additionally, they might not offer walk-in services.
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.
