Dania Beach, FL, a city in Broward County, that's in the South Florida Metro area, is experiencing a severe STD outbreak.

Another STI that's going up is infectious syphilis. In 2014, the county reported 319 cases or 18 new infections for every 100,000 people, and in 2018, it jumped to 448 new diagnoses or a rate of 24 cases for every 100,000 residents.
County health officials are working to reduce the spread of STDs through preventive care and are urging all sexually active individuals to seek regular testing.
Dania Beach and Broward County have more than a dozen health centers that offer comprehensive STD testing.
The CAN Community Health on SE 3rd Ave in Fort Lauderdale provides STI screenings. A public bus stop is available a few blocks from this location.
Instant Medical Care on the corner of SE 17th St and Cordova Rd in Fort Lauderdale is another option.
Some of these clinics might offer free STD testing. However, it may not be a comprehensive screening, and rapid blood tests might not be available. Its also possible the site will ask for proof of income.
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.
