In 2017, the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) warned that Williamson County, where Georgetown is located was sliding backward in the fight against STDs and HIV/AIDS.
According to the Williamson County Health Profile data, the county had much lower STD rates compared to other Texas counties though an increase in the STD rates over the past few years showed that Georgetown was lagging.
According to the data, the incidence rate of Gonorrhea was 76.7 cases per 100,000 people. Syphilis cases, on the other hand, accounted for 14.2 cases per 100000 people
The total Chlamydia rates stood at 254.4 cases per 100,000 people with the numbers projected to increase if the residents and community health organizations could not put extra effort in creating awareness and the need for people to know their HIV and STD status.
“We can attribute the uptrend in STD’s particularly Syphilis to social media; people are getting into new relationships with strangers through social media.” Michael R. Thomas, M.P.H., a CDC Public Health Advisor.
Georgetown has plenty of public and private STD testing clinics that offer testing and treatment services. Some of the public STD testing facilities may offer free STD testing though results might not be immediate, and doctor consultation might come at an extra charge.
Some of the public facilities are Williamson County and Cities Health District Georgetown Clinic, Lone Star Circle of Care Lake Aire Medical Centre and Williamson County and Cities Health District Round Rock Public Health Centre.
You can also visit Williamson County and Cities Health District Cedar Park Clinic and Community Care Health Centers Pflugerville Health Center, where no appointment is required.
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.
