Orlando ranked as the sixth worst city in the United States in regards to HIV diagnoses. Orange County also has alarming rates of other STDs as well, including 8,354 cases of Chlamydia per 100,000 people in 2016, and 2,475 cases of Gonorrhea per 100,000 people that same year.
The state has recently passed a law that allows for expedited partner therapy, or EPT. This means that both the patient and the patient’s partner can be treated for the same STD if certain criteria are met, which can save you a lot of time and stress so that you can get back to enjoying the city.
There are many private and public testing options available in Orlando, including some public options like Planned Parenthood on Tampa Avenue or some private options like the lab on Park Center Drive. Some even provide free STD testing to qualifying residents. It should be noted that if you do need to see a doctor a charge might apply.
There is also a testing center specifically for the LGBT community on Mills Avenue located in historic YBOR. The clinic operators have ensured that it is easy for you to find the center, and if you do get lost simply download the app and it will ensure that you get there safely. Parking is at a premium though, so if possible public transportation might be your best option.
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.

Walt Disney World, Epcot, and Universal Studios are just a few of the exciting theme parks in Orlando, Florida to keep residents and visitors happily entertained, but it is also important to visit one of the STD clinics in the city for regular testing. Orlando, FL is currently experiencing an increase in the number of sexually transmitted diseases reported which include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, C, Herpes, Syphilis, and HIV, and too few free STD testing centers to handle the growing problem. Now you can easily schedule private STD testing with one simple phone call and only spend 15 to 20 minutes in the local lab, which still gives you plenty of time to visit Magic Kingdom.
Recently released statistics show an alarming yearly increase in STIS for Orlando and surrounding Orange County. While city health officials expected to see a rise in Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections, they were not prepared for the significant increase in the number of Syphilis cases over the past twenty years.
Between 1990 and 2011 the number of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis infections rose by almost 200 per 100,000 residents, which is a significant increase compared to the rest of the state. While some blame visitors to the area’s water and theme parks, this still does not explain that high rate of infections.
Health officials were also surprised to learn that it was not only 18 to 25 year olds who were at the highest risk for contracting a STD, but teenagers and senior citizens as well. The statistics show that senior citizens are staying sexually active longer and teens are starting younger. The statistics also show that while sexually transmitted diseases might be on the rise, the number of residents who are tested regularly is not increasing.

With a population slightly over 1.1 million and more than 8,000 residents testing positive for a STD in 2014, some state and city health officials are questioning if the abstinence only program is really working in the city schools.
The city teaches abstinence in its schools and this program does work for some students, but it is not effective when it comes to warning teenagers about the dangers of unprotected sex. The lack of sexual education is not only affecting teenagers, but also the city’s growing population of senior citizens.
Recent statistics are showing a dramatic increase in the number of senior citizens who are testing positive for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. The lack of sexual education, even in retirement communities, has lead many of the city’s seniors to the mistaken belief that they are not at risk this late in their life. As more retirees flock to Orange county the city can expect these statistics to continue to rise.
Without sexual education classes in the schools many teenagers do not realize the dangers associated with having unprotected intercourse. They also do not realize that some STDs can be spread through casual contact, which makes it even more important to get tested regularly. This includes regular Herpes testing in Orlando, which can also help to prevent embarrassing flare ups. It is also extremely important to have regularly HIV testing in Orlando since it is not uncommon for people infected not to display any symptoms until the disease has turned into AIDS.
The warm sunshine and thrill of the amusements parks can make it easy for people to forget to practice safe sex, and difficult for health officials to convince people of the importance of being tested for all sexual diseases.
Along with the steady stream of visitors contributing to the spread, is the growing number of senior citizens who now call home. Many of these seniors are products of the 1960’s and still believe in “free love” even in their advanced years. These same seniors also did not have the benefit of sexual education classes, and many of them believe that they are simply not at risk of contracting a STD.
As more seniors choose the warm climate to retire in and medical advances ensures a longer and healthier life, city health officials expect the number of new STDs reported each year to continue to rise until everyone understands the importance of being tested.
Teens and college students are also at risk, and there are several factors that are contributing to the rise in STDs. Lack of education is one of the main factors, along with a fear of admitting they are sexually active. Inability to afford regular STD testing, along with the misconception that they are not at risk as long as sexually activity is only with one partner is also contributing to this growing health epidemic.
Orlando is known for its amusement parks and warm weather, but this Florida city is also experiencing a dramatic rise in STD rates. Before visiting the Magic Kingdom remember your sexual health, and now it is easy to keep up with it simply by making a call. Only spend 20 minutes instead of the whole day. It is a quick and easy procedure that is over quickly so you can still hit all the rides at your favorite theme park.
