There has been a steady rise in STD transmission cases in Florida. The situation has spilled over to Lee County, which has recorded rising STD counts with many reported incidences of chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea.
According to a 2018 Public Health Data by the Florida Health in Volusia County, chlamydia and gonorrhea incidences spiked by 17% and 29%, respectively between 2016 and 2017. That resulted in incidents rates of 41.0 for chlamydia and 16.9 for gonorrhea over the same period.
Additionally, virtually 50% of all STD cases reported in the county occurred among individuals of age 20-29 years. Among all syphilis cases, 54% occurred among people of 10-29 years.
Founded in 2011, Rising Against All Odds is a non-profit organization recognized by the Florida Health Department. The program aims to offer collaborative HIV case management services, community support, and referral center. The program targets uninsured and low-income individuals living with HIV.
Lee health professionals urge people to get tested as a way to know their status and reduce the harm of STDs. For testing purposes, you can visit one of the Florida Department of Health’s STD Clinics.
You may also visit the Rising Against All Odds HIV clinic. The clinic may offer confidential HIV testing.
Other STD specialty centers in Estero may provide free STD testing services, albeit people may know the purpose of your visit and the clinics might not offer comprehensive STIs screening services. Furthermore, you may only be limited to an appointment-only service and some of the clinics may allow you to seek consultation from the medical personnel present on site.
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.

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.
