The quiet community of Round Rock loves being known for its unique and colorful atmosphere, which matches that of the nearby state capitol which is “proud to be weird”. While horses might be common front yard pets in the neighborhoods this entertaining sight is not helping to stop the increase of sexually transmitted diseases. The independent school system follows the state recommended and funded abstinence supported sexual education program, but more community outreach programs are starting to go out into their neighborhoods. As more parents and teenagers are made aware of the dangers of unprotected sex and the importance of regular testing, city officials are hopeful that the number of new infections will begin to decrease.
While abstinence will help to prevent unplanned pregnancies, it doesn’t stop of all STDs. There are some that can be spread without sexual contact. Herpes testing in Round Rock can not only prevent the virus, but it can also help to keep cold sores from appearing around the mouth. HIV tests in Round Rock are not only the best way to diagnose this disease, if it is detected early enough it can be treated and managed.
Round Rock’s high rate of sexually transmitted diseases is mainly due to a lack of education in the independent school system. Without information about get tested regularly, city officials expect sexual diseases to continue to rise. Along with education, language barriers between some of the area’s residents and health care officials are also causing a rise in the STD rates.
Round Rock is a fun place to live and grow up in, considering its electric mix of citizens and its close proximity to downtown Austin, but it is also experiencing a serious health crisis. STD rates are extremely high in the area especially among teenagers and young adults. If you want to find affordable STI testing, while keeping your privacy intact, there are clinics. It only takes a short amount of time, and you’ll appreciate how fast your results will be available.
