(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 20, 2015 ) St. Louis, Mo. -- With a mission to provide accessible and affordable healthcare while respecting and protecting patient privacy through being committed to quality of service, RSC Health announces that their Rapid STD Testing Center is now expanding it's STD Testing Services to the state of Florida.
According to Florida State's Department of Health, statistics indicate that for females, more cases of syphilis were reported between the ages of 15 to 24 than any other age group in Florida'. Even more alarming is the statistic reporting that 'approximately 18% of all new HIV diagnoses in Florida are among young people aged 13 ? 24 years old'. They report that 'two out of every three reported STD cases in Florida were under the age of 25' and 'one out of every 33 persons with a reportable STD in Florida is co-infected with HIV'.
Moreover, reported by the State Department of health is that fact that while in 2011, Floridians 'between the ages of 15 and 24 represented only 13 percent of Florida's population, they accounted for 70 percent of reported cases of Chlamydia infections. And lastly they noted that 'Gonorrhea rates for 15 to 24 year olds are at least twice as high as any groups over age 25'.
It is unfortunate, but the conclusion that may be inferred is that sexual education and awareness programs are not being successful in the prevention of STDs. While more work has to be done in this area within the state of Florida, Floridians can take precautions to protect themselves by being tested and keeping their results clear.
STD Testing Florida is proud to offer fast testing done in a private setting with accurate results. Results are often provided the same day as testing, and most testing is completed within 15 minutes. Their physicians can provide medications or referrals. No appointments are necessary, and all information remains private and secure.
