Mansfield is a suburb of Dallas and may be expected to share that city’s STD problems. In fact, Tarrant County, which Mansfield shares with Fort Worth, has lower STD rates than Dallas County. In 2017, there were 5,668 people living with HIV or AIDS in Tarrant County, with a prevalence rate of 275.9 per 100K people, below the Texas rate of 320.4
. The same year, there were 8,387 people in Tarrant County diagnosed with chlamydia, at a rate of 408.2, in comparison to Texas’s rate of 511.6. The gonorrhea and syphilis rates were 134.3 and 32.9.
Health officials in Tarrant County are most concerned about the rising syphilis rates. Syphilis was under control in the US a short decade ago, but it has made a comeback due to decreased condom use. Health officials urge all sexually active people to use protection every time and get tested often, even if they are not experiencing symptoms.
There aren’t too many STD-testing clinics actually in Mansfield, but there are more options in Dallas and Fort Worth. And you may be able to find free STD testing in those larger cities. CVS MinuteClinic does basic screenings, and they have a location on Matlock Rd.
There’s also a Planned Parenthood on the way to Arlington. They test for STIs and treat all except HIV, and the fee is on a sliding scale.
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.

Texas is on the list of states with highest rates of STDs. It came in at number eleven on the list with the highest rates of STDs and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Texas had 633.8 STDs per 100,000 people for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. There were 129,861 cases of chlamydia meaning about 498 cases per 100,000 people.
The number of cases and rate for gonorrhea were 33,835. Syphilis included 1,475 cases and a rate of 5.7.
According to a recent study of the top 100 most sexually diseased cities in the U.S., we see statistics for areas that reported rates higher than 290 per 100,000 people. Nine Texas cities made that list.
Killeen (home of Ft. Hood military base) leads in the number 9 spot. San Antonio was the worst big city offender in Texas at number 97.
Houston, Austin, and Dallas did not make the top 100. While your area did not make the list, there is still room for improvement.
Texas has the nation’s third-highest rate of unplanned teen pregnancies. It is 63 per 1,000 births for females ages 15 to 19. The state has the second-highest rate of multiple births for girls 15 to 19.

The way sex education looks in Texas today is the way it has looked for years. Under the law, abstinence has to be taught as the first and best choice. Everything else is optional, including talking about disease prevention, conception, and sex education.
A group of Dallas Independent School District parents wants to put into place a better sex education curriculum to cover more disease prevention. Some disagree with the change. Currently in Texas sexual education classes must devote more time to abstinence than any other behavior.
David Wiley is a health education professor at Texas State University. He is a critic of abstinence only sex education.
He notes that currently student have misconceptions he sees in his classes. Some male students ask about their chance of getting cervical cancer. Some female students have no idea how birth control works. Wiley reviewed sex education curricula across the state for the Texas Freedom Network.
Texas now ranks third in teen pregnancies, first in repeat teen births, and sixth for gonorrhea among young women. It ranks 12th for diagnosed HIV cases among teenagers.
Abstinence only education has not helped those numbers. Several studies of Centers for Disease Control data have shown that states with abstinence-only sex education have higher rates of teen pregnancy than those with more comprehensive programs.
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 are the demographic for men and women that shows the highest numbers and rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea.
About half of all new STD diagnoses are among young people. Here is some recent demographic data about the Dallas area.
The majority of primary and secondary syphilis cases occurred in males (87%). The largest proportion of chlamydia infections were in black (25%) and Hispanic (21%) females.
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 locations throughout Texas can be 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. Viagra 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.
There are several options available to you for STI testing near your city. Let’s look at some now.
