West Odessa, an area in Ector County, Texas, didn't escape the STD outbreak that's overtaking the county and state.
Between 2014 and 2015, the number of new gonorrhea cases in the county went from 309 to 366, or a rate increase from 207 per 100,000 residents to 237 new diagnoses per 100,000 people.
Also, from 2014 to 2015, new syphilis cases increased from 19 to 39.
In 2017, the city of Odessa reported 869 chlamydia, 264 gonorrhea, and nine primary and secondary syphilis infections.
The most significant increase of STDs is among 15-to-24-year-olds in Ector County.
County health officials are expressing concern for the high rate of STDs among residents and are asking sexually active individuals to seek regular testing to help reduce the spread of these dangerous diseases.
There are a few health centers in West Odessa and nearby that provide STD testing and related services such as treatment and aftercare.
The Ector County Health Department offers STI screenings at its clinic on the corner of N Texas Ave and E 3rd St in Odessa. This site is accessible by a local bus route.
Another option is the Midland Health Department's health center on W Illinois Ave in Midland. This clinic is also on a public bus route.
Some locations might offer free STD testing. These places could ask for proof of income and if it's a county location, verification of address. Consider that free services may not include all STDs or treatment. Additionally, patients might have trouble getting a convenient appointment time.
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.
