HIV Quick Facts About Tampa, Florida
As of 2015, the CDC estimates that 1.1 million people have HIV in the United States.[1] The CDC also reports that 52% of new HIV diagnoses occurred in the South in 2017.[2] In 2016, health officials estimated that 12,083 people were living with HIV in Tampa FL alone.[3]
STD Quick Facts About Florida
Chlamydia and gonorrhea were two of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States of America in 2017. Did you know that the CDC reported 100,018 cases of chlamydia and 31,683 cases of gonorrhea in Florida during that year? This means that Florida ranked #29 for chlamydia and #26 for gonorrhea out of all 50 states based on the 2017 STD Surveillance Report's ranking methodology.[4]
Unfortunately, many people don't notice symptoms of these two incredibly common infections. An STD test is the only way to know for sure know the true state of your sexual health. If you receive positive test results for any infection, don't worry about being left in the dark. You should receive information about what to do next when you get your diagnosis. This process should involve you talking to a licensed professional about treatment and contacting previous sexual partners to let them know that they also need to get tested.
What Is the Difference Between STI and STD?
STI means sexually transmitted infection. STD means sexually transmitted disease. They both refer to infections that you can contract from activities like sex.
Who Is at Risk?
Certain demographics are considered to be at higher risk of contracting some infections. That being said, ANYONE who engages in vaginal, anal, and/or oral sex—especially if unprotected—can contract an STD, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, or race.
What Are Common STD Symptoms?
Signs of an infection will vary by individual as well as by the specific STD(s) the person has. However, it is incredibly common for people to notice no symptoms at all. This is why checking for symptoms alone is not an accurate indicator of health.
Tests & Pricing: How Much Is STD Testing?
It depends on the tests you take and whether you decide to bundle them. Some tests will be cheaper than others. For example, a hepatitis A test, hepatitis B test, and hepatitis C test here will each only cost you less than $25. Specialized tests will usually cost more than standard options. For instance, an HIV early detection test will usually cost more than a regular HIV test, but can give you accurate results about your HIV status far sooner than a standard method of testing.
Bundling is a great idea not only to save money, but also to give you peace of mind. If you’re already getting tested for one infection, getting tested for other common STDs can help give you a more comprehensive view of your sexual health. Many places frequently offer a discount, for example, if you bundle a chlamydia test with a gonorrhea test. Even more options are available, though. Here you can get HIV type 1, HIV type 2, herpes 1, herpes 2, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing all for a great price.
Of course, if you visit a clinic and receive other services, your bills might be higher. Whether or not your insurance covers certain tests, services, and/or doctor visits can also impact how much you will pay out of pocket for testing.
How Long Does STD Testing Take?
The actual process for getting tested is simple and quick. Depending on the test (or tests) you take, you can be done with providing samples for a lab test in minutes.
How Long Will my STD Test Results Take?
You can get fast results, as quickly as in 1-2 days. Note, however, that testing right before a weekend or holiday can make the wait longer.
I Want Lots of Medical Information. Where Can I Get It?
You can get information on STDs, care, treatment, counseling, and more from your doctor, local and state public health departments, or the CDC, among other places.
