STDs have become a matter of concern both nationally and in Texas. Kerr County hasn't been spared as cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV continue to occur at disturbing rates.
According to an STD Surveillance Report by the Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS), Kerr County recorded a decrease in chlamydia incidences between 2014 and 2017, from 119 to 64. In 2018, chlamydia incidences spiked slightly to 69 with a rate of 136.5.
Further, the report showed a 2015 gonorrhea rate of 51.7 in 2015, which dropped to 23.3 in 2017 with a total of 12 new cases.
The San Antonio TGA/HSDA HIV Care Continuum Plan (2017-2021) aims to achieve a drastic drop in HIV infections by 2021 through increment in the number of HIV+ persons under care. The program carefully monitors the introduction to health services and care retention for PLWH.
Sexually active individuals are implored to get tested to know your STD/HIV status. Kerrville residents can visit the TDSHS Kerr County Field Office located along One Schreiner Center. Otherwise, you may head to San Antonio, where you'll find the Beat AIDS Coalition Trust on Hudson St.
Another option is the Center for Health Care Services Clinic, which is nestled on McCullough Ave, San Antonio, or the Community Action Inc. of Central Texas along Uhland Rd.
You can also find other centers near Kerrville which may provide free STD testing, but you may have to deal with inconsistency in opening times. Moreover, you may only be limited to appointment-only services and the medical centers might not test all STDs.
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.
