As part of the Houston metropolitan area, Conroe could be expected to share that city’s STD problems. In fact, Montgomery County’s HIV rate is much lower than Harris County’s. In 2017, there were 803 people living with HIV or AIDS in Montgomery County, with a prevalence rate of 140.6 per 100K people.
Harris County (which contains Houston) had a rate of 551.7, and Texas’s rate was 320.4. But don’t get too smug about it, Conroe! Those numbers still need to come down.
In 2017, Montgomery County had 1,515 chlamydia cases, at a rate of 265.4 per 100K people. The gonorrhea and syphilis rates were 52.4 and 13.1. Health officials say STD rates are high in the south for a variety of reasons, among them insufficient sex education for youth and high poverty levels, which can prevent people from accessing health care.
There are a few STD-testing clinics in Conroe, and more options in the surrounding cities (and it may be easier to find free STD testing in the larger cities). The Montgomery County Public Health District provides testing for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea for a low cost. You can find them on S Loop. NextCare Urgent Care, at Waterpoint Shopping Center, does STI testing. St. Hope Foundation, on Frazier St, offers treatment for people with HIV.
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.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.

In 2004 the CDC released a ten year study stating new cases of STDs were steadily decreasing nationwide, except in the Harris County area. Recent data is now seeing another ten year trend that is suggesting that STD rates across the nation are now rising along with those in Conroe. While every type is seeing an increase, this suburban city is having an especially hard time coping with the rising new cases of Syphilis that are occurring.

Statistics are showing that STD rates have been steadily on the rise in Conroe for the last ten years, especially among young men. While the surrounding metropolitan area does play a role in the growing numbers of reported STDs, it is not the main cause. With a large number of college age adults not knowing how to properly wear a condom, it is important to your health to get tested regularly.
Another contributing factor is the lack of education, especially concerning the transfer of these sexually infectious diseases. Herpes, Syphilis, and HIV can all be spread without sexual intercourse, which many residents of this small city simply do not realize.
While the best prevention against the spread of any STD is to practice abstinence, this often isn’t feasible when dealing with hormonal teenagers. Along with proper education, it is also important to have Herpes testing in Conroe regularly. HIV testing in Conroe is just as important, if not more since the number of new cases keeps increasing each year.
While it does not have the same diversity as a large city, it does have a growing younger population. This can contribute to the increase in new STD cases reported each year, the main problem remains the area’s dismal sex education program.
Like most of the state, the independent school district teaches abstinence and relies on the parents to handle the finer details. What this has accomplished is a generation of young adults who do not understand the risk they are putting themselves in by not getting tested, and practicing safe sex.
The pretty lakeside city of Conroe has all of the advantages of the big city, and it unfortunately also has a lot of its problems, with STD rates still increasing in young adults including syphilis and HIV. While there are several clinics in the city many residents are too embarrassed to be seen standing in line, which is why some are choosing to schedule a private STD test in Conroe.
This gives you the advantage of being able to take care of your sexual health, without having to feel ashamed or embarrassed. It only takes a few minutes of your time to visit the local clinic, and you will still have plenty of time to spend the day swimming in Lake Conroe.
