LaBelle, FL, the county seat of Hendry County, is in the middle of an STD crisis.
In 2016, there were 146 women and 58 men diagnosed with chlamydia, and in 2018, it had 160 women and 62 men with the disease.
The county reported 23 women and 15 men with gonorrhea infections in 2016, and in 2018, there were 27 men and 21 women with new cases.
Syphilis is also increasing with zero infectious diagnoses in 2017 and one in 2018.
Hendry County health officials want to stop the spread of these preventable diseases and are asking all sexually active people to seek regular STD testing.
There are a few health centers that provide comprehensive STD testing in and near LaBelle. Most sites include on-site treatment, counseling, and aftercare services.
The Florida Department of Health in Hendry County offers screenings at the LaBelle Clinic on Pratt Blvd.
Another option is the Healthcare Network of Southwest Florida's Family Care Immokalee on Madison Ave.
The Florida Department of Health in Glades County operates a clinic on Health Park Dr in Moore Haven next to the Glades County Detention Center.
Services are also available at the Clewiston Health Center on S WC Owen Ave.

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.
