Sanford, FL, a suburb of Orlando, is facing an STD epidemic. The county seat of Seminole County is experiencing an increase in syphilis cases.
From 2012 to 2013, the rate of syphilis infections in the county increased from 6.2 % to 4.7 percent. In 2017, that percentage spiked to 7.8 %.
There’s also been a significant increase in HIV cases. In 2004, the infection rate was 15.7 per 100,000. By 2017, that number per year increased by more than 200 diagnoses.
In 2017, the Orlando region had 730 new cases of HIV, ranking it number 2 out of all major, U.S. cities, behind Miami and just ahead of Atlanta, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge. Experts are calling these numbers a wake-up call for more education and testing information in the community.
There are several STD testing locations in Seminole County. One of the nearest clinics is offered through the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County not far from the Orlando-Stanford International Airport.
Another option is the Orange Blossom Family Health Clinic on Kennel Rd in Sanford, which offers HIV and STD screening. The True Health Office in Sanford on E. Lake Mary Blvd also provides STI services. Walk-in care is available nearby in Winter Springs at the CareNow Urgent Care Clinic. There’s also a Planned Parenthood facility in Orlando on University Blvd.
You will find facilities that provide free screenings. These centers may not guarantee confidentiality, and the appointment times might not be easy to fit into your schedule.
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.
