Frisco, Texas, is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, but its STD rates are much lower. In 2017, there were 1,796 people living with HIV or AIDS in Collin County, with a prevalence rate of 185.2 per 100K people. A smaller part of Frisco lies in Denton County, and its HIV prevalence rate that year was 161.6. But those rates reflect a percentage of the people who are actually infected.
The social stigma surrounding HIV, exacerbated by homophobia in some places, can make some people reluctant to come in for testing. But medical professionals are discreet and only want to help you, and you should never be afraid to be tested.
In 2017, 2,921 people in Collin County were diagnosed with chlamydia, at a rate of 301.3 per 100K people; Texas’s rate for that year was 511.6. The gonorrhea and syphilis rates were 88.4 and 14.5.
There are not too many STD-testing clinics in Frisco itself, but there are more options in the surrounding areas. The CVS MinuteClinic does basic STI screenings, and they have several convenient locations in Frisco.
There is a Planned Parenthood in Plano. They test for STIs and treat all except HIV, and the fee is on a sliding scale. Some health organizations may host free STD testing events during STD Awareness Month, so keep an eye out for that.
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.

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.

The importance of comprehensive sex education programs cannot be stressed enough, and the recent statistics are showing that the area’s teenagers and young adults are not taking their sexual health seriously. With the independent school district in Frisco following the state’s recommended guidelines, teenagers are only learning about abstinence. The high teen pregnancy rates show that younger children are engaging in sexual intercourse, and that abstinence is not an option for most of them. Until high school students are educated, the number of new STD cases in the city will continue to increase.
Abstaining from sexual intercourse and wearing protection will help protect residents of this picturesque city from contracting a sexual disease. but testing is still necessary. Some do not show symptoms and an HIV test in Frisco is the only way to detect the disease. Herpes tests in Frisco should always be included, since this STD can often go undetected and can be transmitted without having sex.
It is important to note that this small bedroom community is included in the statistical data for the entire Dallas metropolitan area. While every case of a sexually transmitted disease might not be inside the small city’s limits, this does not mean that the affluent neighborhood still does not have a serious health problem. The higher than average yearly incomes in Frisco is still causing a health epidemic with teenagers, and many officials blame the lack of sex education in schools as the main problem.
The small suburb of Frisco is an excellent neighborhood in which to raise a family, and also has all of the advantages of a big city nearby. The quiet community is facing a health challenge that is especially affecting its younger residents as the number of new STD cases continues to rise. There are ways to prevent sexually transmitted disease, but the best method of protecting your health is to be tested regularly.
