Carrollton is a suburb of Dallas, but its STD rates are lower. Parts of the city fall into three different counties with very different STD rates. For example, the 2017 HIV prevalence rate of Dallas County is 690.3 per 100K people; Denton County’s is 161.6; and Collin County’s is 185.2. But there are surely people still out there who don’t know they are infected.
There is still a stigma around HIV, especially directed toward gay and bisexual men, which may make some people reluctant to come in for testing. But medical professionals are discreet and only want to help you.
The 2017 chlamydia rates of Carrollton’s three counties were 728.9, 289.9, and 301.3. The gonorrhea rates were 271.4, 85.1, and 88.4. The syphilis rates were 90.6, 22.7, and 14.5. Health officials urge all sexually active people to get tested regularly, even if they are not experiencing any symptoms.
There aren’t too many clinics in Carrollton itself, but there are a lot of options in Dallas and other suburbs. PrimaCare Medical Center, on Marsh Ln in Dallas, does STI testing and treatment. There is a Planned Parenthood in Addison. They test for STIs and treat all except HIV, and the fee is on a sliding scale.
You can get a basic screening at the CVS MinuteClinics. Keep an eye on the local events calendars, as you may be able to catch a free STD testing event, especially during STD Awareness Month.
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.

Carrollton and its independent school district have to face the same dilemma as many other areas. This means deciding between certain types of funding that will affect children’s education. Most schools teach a general class that deals with the positive benefits of abstinence, without handling the important fact that over half of all 15 years are already sexually active. Without the benefit of organized sex education programs this idyllic city will continue to fight a losing battle against rising STD rates.
While some advocates for abstinence will insist that the best way to prevent STDs is to not have sex, this simply is not a practical approach to the problem. Proper education, along with regular appointments for Herpes testing in Carrollton is the only ways to prevent the spread of infectious sexual diseases. It is equally important to remember HIV testing in Carrollton to ensure that you are your partner is healthy.
Carrollton is a tight knit community that includes diverse social and economic demographics. While the majority of residents are comfortable families, there are signs that the recent nationwide economic struggle hit close to home in this neighborhood.
The widening economic gap is also to blame, and it affects teenagers and their parents. With many of the city’s Hispanic and African American families living below the poverty level, the stress of daily life makes it difficult to concentrate on regular sexual health checkups.
The small city of Carrollton lies just outside of Dallas, and features beautiful lakes, golf courses, and high STD rates. While this is a family oriented city, it is hard to escape the fact that its residents might be facing a serious problem.
You can receive your results without any embarrassment. Not only will regular sexual health checkups help prevent STDs, it will also give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy living life in the city that was voted one of the “best places to live in America”.
