An enclave of the western side of San Antonio, Leon Valley is a city in Bexar County. The county witnessed a minor increase in the number or rate of new HIV infections in 2018 and 2019.
In 2018, local health officials reported 326 new infections rates at 16.5 per 100,000 population. In the following year, there were 342 new infections rated at 17.1.
The county recorded the third-highest number of Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Total Syphilis infections. However, the number of new Syphilis cases dropped from 308 diagnoses rated at 15.7 in 2017 to 273 new cases in 2018 reported at 13.7.
A similar trend was present in the number of new Chlamydia cases reported within the same timeline. 2017 had 12,392 new infections recorded at a diagnostic rate of 660.2. In 2018, 10,539 persons tested positive for Chlamydia, and the infection rate was 530.7.
Gonorrhea diagnoses in the county also decreased from 4,510 cases in 2017 reported at 230.2 to 3,876 infections recorded at a rate of 195.2.
Although Bexar County has witnessed a drop in new STD cases, public health officials have raised concern over the increasing number of HIV diagnoses.
To help reverse the trend, they’ve been relying on the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District’s Fast Track Cities program to strengthen citywide responses in relation to HIV prevention.
BEAT AIDS, San Antonio Metro Health HIV/STD Clinic, and the Planned Parenthood - South Texas Medical Center can provide HIV/STD screening.
Some clinics may offer free STD testing, but the tests may not be comprehensive. Also, you may have to endure long wait times.
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.
