Introduction

What are the STI test options in Harker Heights,TX?

Bell County; home of Harker Heights, an exurb of Austin and a part of the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood Metropolitan area. Unfortunately, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are becoming a bigger problem in the region. 

Heights—as most locals refer to it—shares many of the same issues as its nearest expansive metropolitan area.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention the figures for Texas as of 2017 indicate a combined 2.3 million reported cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. This represents a 10% increase from 2016.

Mirroring trends across the nation.

With over a thousand new diagnosis of HIV per year in the region and rising, Bell County—included with the rest of the Greater Austin area—must contend with an elevated risk of contracting a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), as well as other STD/Is. Doctors at the city of Austin’s Health Department state that while these trends primarily affect younger adults, that everyone who is sexually active needs to be screened in order to curtail those numbers.

For Harker Heights’ residents, there is an Any Lab Test Now located in Market Heights on East Central Texas Expy. Otherwise, you can find STI screening available at a number of Austin locations. The Baylor Scott & White Clinic – Harker Heights is over on Mountain Lion Circle. Or you can find a NextCare Urgent Care, Any Lab Test Now, Total Men’s Primary Care, and more not far off the 35. Some clinics may offer same-day testing services. You may be able to find free STD testing if you can make the drive into Austin. 

To find the best services and location for you, use our search tools below to compare location features across Harker Heights clinics with our easy-to-read chart.
