Leisure City, FL, a community that borders Homestead and Naranja, in Miami-Dade County is in the midst of an STD crisis that's not slowing down.
In 2014, the county reported 1,616 men and 773 women with new gonorrhea infections, and in 2018, it had 3,211 men and 1,103 women with new diagnoses.
Chlamydia is also increasing with 3,542 men, and 7,063 women with new infections in 2014, and in 2018, it had 5,474 men and 7,940 women with diagnoses.
Infectious syphilis is another STI on the rise with 406 men and 24 women diagnosed in 2014, and in 2018, it had 491 men and 55 women with new diagnoses.
Public health officials for the state and county are urging all persons that are sexually active to protect themselves and their partners through regular STD testing.
There are several locations that offer comprehensive STD testing near Leisure City, including many that provide treatment and follow-up care in the same facility.
Community Health of South Florida Incorporated operates the Naranja Health center on the corner of SW 264th St and SW 138th Ct. It also runs the Everglades Health Center on SW 376th St and the Doris Ison Health Center on SW 216th St in Miami.
The Florimed Medical Center on NE 8th St in Homestead also offers STD screenings.
Some sites might provide free STD testing. However, they may ask for proof of income, and appointment times might be inconvenient. Additionally, there could be hidden fees for treatment and follow-up care.
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.
