Uvalde, city and county seat of Uvalde County, is in relatively close proximity to San Antonio, a significant population hub in south-central Texas. Despite its last recorded population of approximately 15,750 in 2010, Uvalde has experienced some trouble with STD spikes over the last decade.
In particular, syphilis cases are rising. In 2011, no cases were reported in Uvalde County. In 2015-16, only two cases were reported each year. By 2018, this had increased to 14 reported cases, indicating a potential need for syphilis prevention education.
Thankfully, Chlamydia cases are on the decline in Uvalde County. In 2011, 196 cases were reported, a rate of 737.1 per 100,000 population. By 2018, the number of reported cases dropped to 105, a ratio of 391.1 per 100,000.
The Texas Health and Human Services Department regularly runs awareness campaigns to highlight the plight of HIV/STDs in most-affected communities, such as education campaigns that coincide with Latinx AIDS Awareness Day on October 15.
The Texas Health and Human Services department also provides testing, primary care, and prevention counseling at its facility in west Uvalde, through its HIV-STD program.
Plenty of both public and private medical facilities are strategically located throughout Uvalde and nearby cities to provide residents with access to low-cost or free STD testing. However, there may be limited availability for STD testing, and queue times might be lengthy.
Options include the South Texas Urgent Care Center on E Main St and the Community Health Development, Inc. location on Evans St. Anderson House Pregnancy Resource Center is a non-profit organization that may also offer STD testing services and prevention education at its Uvalde location, which residents can take advantage of.
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 CDC2ย 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.ย
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.ย
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.ย
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.ย
