A staggering 92.8% of residents in Antascocita are said to have good, quality health coverage, and the patient to doctor ratio is 1670 to 1, respectively. The number of residents presumed to be living with HIV in Antascocita is 25,831, with 75.8% being male and 24.2% female.
According to government statistics, this has been an overall drop in the amount of cases since 2014. The rates for HIV disease remained relatively stable from 2007-2013 and appear to have shown very little change since then.
In 2018, there were 571.4 reported chlamydia cases. This is a drop from 586.7 from previous census data.
Even with a recent decrease in STD cases, health department officials in Antascocita are still urging citizens to keep getting tested on a regular basis. This is especially true in cases of unprotected sex and the sharing of needles.
There are a number of clinics in Harris county that may offer free STD testing for Antascocita residents wanting to get checked. Information is provided online on locations and times.
The Humble Clinic offers a telephone service known as Testing123, where clients can be matched with a professional for an initial screening.
The Thomas Street Health Center may be able to provide testing, medical care and counseling for those who have been diagnosed. But STD prevention is key, and residents are strongly encouraged to partake in the HIV information services at Thomas Street.
There are some disadvantages to using public clinics, however. Due to high demand, there may be longer wait times. In some cases, you may not be able to call ahead for an appointment. Plus, results may not be immediate and could take several days to obtain.
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.

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.

Texas is on the list of states with highest rates of STDs. It came in at number eleven on the list. This is according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Texas had a rate total of 633.8 STDs per 100,000 people for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. There were 129,861 cases of chlamydia, which translates to about 498 cases per 100,000 people.
The number of cases and rate for gonorrhea were 33,835 (129.8). Syphilis had fewer cases with 1,475 (5.7). Houston has the lowest percentage of people with STDs of all four major Texas cities.
The rates are still high so there is room for improvement. According to a recent study of the top 100 most sexually diseased cities in the U.S., we see statistics for all counties that reported rates higher than 290 per 100,000 people. Nine Texas cities made that list.
Texas has the nation’s third-highest rate of unplanned teen pregnancies. It is 63 per 1,000 births for girls 15 to 19. The state has the second-highest rate of multiple births for girls 15 to 19.

Houston-area school districts recently shifted away from traditional abstinence only sex education. This is part of a statewide trend. The trend caused some parents to express concern about students learning too much, too soon about sex. The new approach is abstinence plus. The University of Texas Prevention Research Center in Houston created the program.
Seventh graders take the twelve lessons program that covers unplanned pregnancy, contraception, and condom use, in addition to abstinence. In Harris County ten school district and one charter school system adopted similar programs with other districts in Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Plano. Some parents call the programs a bad choice for students and against their moral fiber. These parents can choose to opt their children out of the program. These parents are in a minority. In one meeting 55 out of 60 parents surveyed were comfortable with the curriculum.
Public schools do not have to provide sex education programs, but if they do, the Texas Education Code requires that they stress abstinence as the preferred choice for unmarried teens and devote more time to it than to other behaviors. The director of the University of Texas program is Susan Tortolero.
She notes that the more teens know about sex, the less likely they are to engage in it. If you tell students about condoms and contraception this does not mean students will participate in more sexual activity. We know for sure this is true. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gave $15 million to the team at the University of Texas to tackle the teen pregnancy rate.
The program was tested in about five to 10 Houston Independent School District schools. About 20,000 students in Harris County received the instruction over several years. With Texas having the nation’s third-highest rate of unplanned teen pregnancies and the second-highest rate of multiple births for girls 15 to 19, there is concern.
Research from the University of Texas shows that ten percent of sixth-graders have had sex, and by 12th grade 70 percent of teens have had sex. This means more than 800,000 teens in Texas.
Demographics play a role in STD rates in the city and area. The high school and young adult demographic is the focus of many STD prevention programs. Those who are 15 to 24 years old show the highest numbers and rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea. About half of all new STD diagnoses are among young people.
Compared with older adults, sexually active people ages 15 to 24 are at higher risk of getting an STD. However, we should also keep in mind that we mentioned how your city is a good place for a retired person so we should look at STD rates in seniors.
The Center for Disease Control notes increases in senior citizen population STDs. Since 2007, incidence of syphilis among seniors is up by 52 percent. Chlamydia is up 32 percent. Senior citizens are sexually active and practicing unprotected sex. Medicare now offers STD screenings for seniors. Factors in the growing numbers include Americans are living longer and healthier lives with an interest in sex. Viagara and similar pills are another factor as are progesterone and estrogen creams for older women.
Since pregnancy is not an issue, seniors could feel that unprotected sex is an option. Seniors have not received an education in how unprotected sex can lead to STDs. Retirement communities are areas where STD rates are rising. Age tends to make people more rather than less susceptible to disease.
As you get older, your immune system tends to weaken. You can be more prone to infection. This can be a concern also if a senior has an STD, is fighting it off, and could become more vulnerable to another infection. Seniors need education on STDs. They need the same information young people get.
In your city and state there are several resources available to you concerning STI testing. The Planned Parenthood/Northville Health Center location is an example of a place that can help you with STD education, testing, and treatment. The staff is trained to help you with your situation and the Planned Parenthood/Northville Health Center facility offers STD testing, diagnosis, and treatment including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
Additionally, the center provides testing and diagnosis for HIV and testing, diagnosis, and treatment for bacterial vaginosis, genital warts, herpes, and trichomoniasis. STD prevention services include condoms, HPV (Gardasil) vaccines, hepatitis B vaccines, and STD/safer sex education. The facility tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia using a urine sample. If this test shows an infection, then you will get treatment and an explanation of how your partner can be treated.
This health center supports and welcomes clients regardless of the gender, sexual orientation, and sex. This includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex clients as stated on their web site. Services are provided in a professional and respectful manner.
You could go to an urgent care center such as Northeast Urgent Care. One of the less talked about but highly used services of such a center is STD testing. Whether testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, or syphilis, these STD screenings you can use to help you. You can find online reviews about these centers to help you decide to use one including a service in your city.
A hospital such as Kingwood Medical Center is a facility that can help. If you are embarrassed to be seen at Planned Parenthood you could consider this option. No one will know why you are there. Yet another option is a private service such as STD Check.
This service provides 100 percent confidential STD testing. It offers results in one to two days. All tests are FDA approved. Same day STD testing is available. You order a test. Then you visit a local test center. You then get your results in one to two days. This kind of service aims to eliminate embarrassment. It gives you access to the testing used by doctors and hospitals.
Nothing is reported to your insurance. Nothing is placed into your medical record. The service provides guidance throughout the process. A free doctor consultation is included if you test positive. A doctor can prescribe treatment or a referral.
Whether you go to a high school counsellor or nurse, an online service, or a clinic or hospital such as Kingwood Medical Center, you can find in your area information about STDs, testing, and treatment. While STD rates are high in your city, help is available in your area in the way of testing and treatment that is confidential, discreet, compassionate, and effective.
Consider how the staff at these facilities is trained to help someone like you, especially with the staff at Planned Parenthood Northville Health Center or any other facility reminding you to check your health, improve it, and keep yourself healthy by always using a condom to practice safe sex.
