Lighthouse Point, FL, is a coastal town in Broward County that's fighting a battle against an STD outbreak that's been brewing for the past several years.
In 2016, the county listed 9,928 new chlamydia cases and in 2020, the number increased by over 1,000 diagnoses with 10,081.
Also, gonorrhea is increasing fast. In 2016, the area listed 3,632 infections and in 2020, the area reported 4,483 new cases.
Syphilis is a dangerous STD. Broward County had 1,334 new diagnoses in 2016 and the number jumped to 2,137 infections in 2020.
The Broward County Public Health Department is concerned about the rapid increase in STD cases in the area, including Lighthouse Point, FL. To combat the crisis, they're asking all individuals to seek regular STD testing if they're sexually active to reduce the spread and protect themselves and their loved ones.
Many options are available for comprehensive STD testing in Lighthouse Point, FL, and throughout Broward County. Most provide treatment and follow-up care.
Testing is available at the Helix Urgent Care Deer Field Beach Medical Facility on S. Federal Hwy in Deerfield.
It's also an option at the Independent Medical Group on NE 1st Ave. in Pompano Beach.
Another choice is the Florida Department of Health in Broward County at the Paul Hughs Health Center on NW 6th St.
Several sites list free STD testing. These facilities are safe, but there are problems. For example, some require proof of income and results can take much longer. Always contact the location first to check and see what they need and what's available first.
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.

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.
