Bryan shares Brazos County with College Station, which is home to Texas A&M University. In 2015, the HIV prevalence rate of Brazos County was 193 per 100K people, well under the Texas rate of 368. But let’s not celebrate just get. HIV, like other STIs, is preventable, and those numbers need to come down.
In 2016, there were 1,402 chlamydia cases in Brazos County, but only 716 of those were in Bryan. That rose to 800 in 2017. In 2016, Brazos County had 353 gonorrhea cases, at a rate of 160.2 per 100K people. The rate for primary and secondary syphilis was 4.5. Health officials sometimes point to insufficient sex education as a primary reason for high STD rates in the South, as well as high poverty levels.
They recommend getting tested often and always using protection.
There are a few clinics in Bryan, including one location that provides free STD testing for HIV only (note that there may be a wait). Brazos County Health District’s Sexually Transmitted Infections Clinic offers STI testing at a low cost. You can find them on North Texas Ave. The Brazos Valley Women’s Center on 29th St provides STD testing, and they also offer the HPV vaccine.
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.

While the majority of cities in the state often find that a lack of education is responsible for the high STD rates, but in Bryan, TX health officials do not think this is the case. Instead the college offers several sexual health classes, along with community outreach programs, and counselors available to answer any questions on campus. With the amount of available educational materials and qualified support, many health care officials are wondering why these intelligent college students are not taking their well being more seriously.
Some STD rates are decreasing and many health care officials credit this with regular testing. Herpes testing in Bryan is quick and easy, and is one of the reasons that there are so few new cases appearing. Even though the number of patients infected with AIDS each year is lower than other areas in the state, it is still important to schedule regular HIV testing in Bryan to ensure that these statistics continue to remain low.
As a college town it is not surprising to learn that the average age of residents is 30, and that there is a diverse population. As home to one of the state’s two major rival colleges, there is plenty for students to do between classes. Unfortunately this festive atmosphere has also contributed to the rising number of reported STDs.
The excitement of sports and freedom students feel when they are out on their own, is also contributing to the increase. The other factor that is helping to increase the STD rates is the simple belief that many young adults feel like they are invincible. As many college students who have unprotected sex and did not get tested are learning, this is certainly not true when they find out that their symptoms are related to an infectious sexual disease.
It can never be emphasized enough that it is important to get tested regularly for any sexually transmitted diseases. Even though this college town does have a lower STD rate than some other parts of the state, the statistics are clear that it is still a problem. While there are clinics around the college, many students prefer having the option of a private STD test in Bryan. Not only does this take a lot of the embarrassment out of the checkup, it also helps to make it a little less frightening. With one simple phone call students and residents can schedule a confidential test, and still make to see the Aggies’ opening kickoff.
