Some clinics that provide counseling to pregnant women offer free STD testing and treatment, but only for chlamydia and gonorrhea. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation Center in Fort Worth provides HIV testing.
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.

On the whole, Texas ranks poorly when it comes to sexual education in local schools. Sexual education programs are not mandated by Texas state law. Some school districts include sexual health in their curriculum, and others do not. This inconsistency is harmful to public health in Texas, especially among teens and young adults.
In 2017, the Texas Freedom Network released a study that found a quarter of Texas public schools do not teach sex education. Of the schools that do teach sexual education, 60% teach abstinence-only education programs. These statistics are startling, and the absence of comprehensive sexual education programs in Texas schools has serious consequences for students.
Comprehensive sexual education has been shown to result in the most positive outcomes for teens and young adults. Abstinence-only sexual education programs, however, are not supported by similar evidence. Studies show that only comprehensive sexual education can help reduce sexual activity and high risk behaviors that contribute to the spread of STDs.
Students in North Richland Hills are served by the Birdville Independent Schools District. Schools include Richland High School, North Richland Middle School, North Ridge Middle School and Smithfield Middle School. Nurses and guidance counselor at these schools can discuss sexual health issues with students.
Additional sexual educational resources are available at local health centers and STD testing centers. Planned Parenthood and the Tarrant County Public Health Department offer sexual health resources.

The highest rates were found among Blacks, and the second highest rates were found among Hispanics. A majority of cases were attributed to individuals aged 15-19 and 20-24 years old.
Since 2009, Gonorrhea rates in Texas have shown slight increases. The rate among Blacks decreased but remains very high. In 2016, there were a total of 14,320 cases among the group at a rate of 421.8 per 100,000 population. The Gonorrhea rate among Blacks decreased by 18% since 2009. It is clear that young adults are most affected by Gonorrhea in Texas. The rates from 20-24 and 24-25 years old were highest.
Overall Syphilis rates have also been on the rise. The rate among Hispanics has increased significantly from 2009 to 2016. The rate for Hispanics increased from 22.3 to 35.1. While female rates are on the decline, male rates have consistently increased. The rate for males is 52.5 per 100,000 population, compared to 12.9 for females.
The HIV rate in Texas is highest among Blacks at 953.5 per 100,000 population. The second highest rate was found among Hispanics at 254.9. Higher rate tend to be found among older individuals.
