Cibolo, TX, is a city located in parts of Guadalupe and Bexar counties, that's enduring a serious STD outbreak.
Guadalupe County reported 313 chlamydia cases in 2014 and 340 new infections in 2017. In 2014, Bexar County had 11,127 chlamydia diagnoses, and in 2017, it listed 12,475 new cases.
In 2014, there were 82 gonorrhea diagnoses in Guadalupe, and three years later, it had 99 new infections. Also in 2014, Bexar County reported 3,117 cases, and in 2017, it had 4,357.
All syphilis cases are increasing. Guadalupe County recorded 25 diagnoses in 2014, and two years later in 2016, it went up to 28 new ones. Bexar County had 897 infections, and in 2017, it reported 1,293 cases.
County health officials in Guadalupe and Bexar are concerned about the increasing STD rates and are urging all persons that are sexually active to solicit regular STI screenings.
Cibolo has over a dozen health centers that provide comprehensive STD testing. Many of these sites offer treatment and aftercare.
The Planned Parenthood of South Texas provides STI screenings for men and women at the Perrin-Beitel Health Center on the corner of Perrin-Beitel Rd and Naco Perrin Blvd.
Another option is the Comal County Public Health Department on the corner of Church Hill Dr and Loop 337 Ramp.
Some sites may offer free STD testing. These locations could ask for proof of income and have patients verify their address for county-specific clinics. In addition, free services may not cover all STIs or include treatment and follow-up care.
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.
