As part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Lewisville shares in that region’s STD problems. In 2017 in Denton County, 61 people were diagnosed with HIV, for a rate of 7.3 per 100K people. That year, there were 1,351 people living with HIV or AIDS there.
Also in 2017, 2,424 people were diagnosed with chlamydia, with a rate of 289.9. For gonorrhea, it was 712 cases and a rate of 85.1. There were 190 syphilis cases at a rate of 22.7.
Health officials are particularly concerned about the numbers of young people, including teens, contracting STDs.
Like much of the South, Texas does not mandate comprehensive sex education, and many teens do not understand the importance of using protection.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Lewisville, and more options in Dallas or Fort Worth if you can make it there (and it may be easier to find free STD testing in the larger cities). One option is PrimaCare Medical Center on Surf St. They do STD and lab testing. Planned Parenthood tests for all STIs and treats all except HIV, for an affordable fee based on your income. You can find them on Main St.
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.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.

Like the majority of states across the county there are currently not any comprehensive sex education programs in the public school systems. This is leaving students woefully unprepared to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases.
Instead of comprehensive sex education teens are usually taught that abstinence is best. With teen pregnancy rates rising almost as quickly as those for STDs it’s evident that this approach is not effective. Unfortunately many of the public school districts that do offer abstinence based education classes are more likely to make students feel shame and fear if they are sexually active, instead of providing them with the information teens need.
Discussions concerning the use of contraceptives are rarely included in the current sex education programs. Students often are not aware that a simple condom could protect them from all STDs. While information on HIV/AIDS is required by federal law, it is still not uncommon for teens to graduate without fully realize how STDs are spread.
Students also do not learn how important regular HIV testing in Lewisville is or that this is the only way to positively diagnose the potentially deadly disease. The same is true regarding regular Herpes testing in Lewisville. While this virus is not considered to be “deadly” it can be embarrassing and easily prevented simply by getting tested on a regular basis.
There are several factors contributing to the rising STD rates. In 2010 it was named one of the fastest growing cities and the influx of new residents is still continuing, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. While this is good news for the Dallas suburb’s economy, it also means that long-time residents can expect to see the number of new STD incidents continue to increase.
Budget cuts to health care over the last few years are also being blamed for the steady rise in sexually transmitted infections. Community STI clinics that haven’t been forced to close their doors due to lack of funding are now keeping limited hours of operation.
While educators are promoting abstinence, teens are still engaging in sexual activity. This is evident by the rising number of teenagers that are pregnant before graduation. Since the current state approved sex education program does not include information on the use of contraceptives, residents can expect this trend to continue. This is also one of the main reasons the STD rates in teens are increasing at an alarming pace.
Filled with parks and other green spaces it is still hard for residents of this idyllic suburb to believe that the STD rates are rising at such an alarming rate. Unfortunately the lack of conveniently located community STI testing facilities is only adding to the problem. If you want to avoid the long lines at the clinics and still take care of your sexual health there is a faster option. With one simple phone call you can schedule confidential STD testing and only spend 15 to 20 minutes at a nearby lab. This way you can take care of your sexual health and still have plenty of time for swimming at Lake Park.
