Riviera Beach, FL, is experiencing an STD epidemic. The seaside city in Palm Beach County is seeing alarming new rates along with the rest of the area. From 2015 to 2018, the number of new, chlamydia cases jumped from 5,374 to 6,039.
During the same time new, annual gonorrhea diagnoses went from 1,277 to 1,467. Overall, all bacterial STDs in the county went from 9,972 in 2015 to nearly 8,000 in 2018.
There were also 322 new HIV infections diagnosed in 3017. Between 2013 and 2017, the majority of all HIV diagnoses in the county were men.
County Health officials in Southern Florida are concerned about the rise in STDs among people 55 and older. The area saw a 20% increase between 2015 and 2016, and medical professionals are being urged to talk to their active senior patients about STIs including HIV.
There are dozens of sites that offer comprehensive STD testing in and near Riviera Beach. Alpha Omega Alliance Incorporated operates the Riviera Beach Integrated Care off Broadway Ave on W 20th St. Bus route #1 stops at this intersection.
The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County runs a clinic at the West Palm Beach Health Center on 45th St in Riviera Beach. Off-street parking and the entrance are in the back of the building.
There might be a few locations that offer free STD testing. You will need to provide proof of income, and the screening may not be comprehensive and only test for whichever STI rates are the highest in the community.
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.
