University Park, TX, a suburb of Dallas, in Dallas County, is in the midst of an STD crisis that's continuing to escalate.
All STD rates in the county have increased by more than 20% between 2017 and 2018.
In 2017, it had the second-highest number of Gonorrhea cases with 7,105 new infections, an increase from 6,035 in 2016.
Also in 2017, Dallas County had the second-highest number of new chlamydia infections at 19,084 new cases, up from 15,783 in the previous year.
The area had the highest number of primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses in 2017 with 396 new cases, an increase from 357 in 2016.
State, City, and County health officials are asking all sexually active persons to use safe sexual practice and get tested regularly to help end the STD crisis.
There are multiple health centers in University Park and Dallas County that provide comprehensive STD testing. Most of these locations include educational information about STI prevention, treatment, and follow-up care.
One option is the Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas at the North Dallas Shelburne Health Center on the corner of the N Central Expressway and Park Ln. This clinic is located on a public bus route.
Parkland Health and Hospital Systems operates the Vickery Health Center at the corner of Park Ln and Shady Brook Ln.
Some sites might offer free STD testing. Patients may experience difficulties scheduling a convenient appointment, and same-day services may not be available. Additionally, these locations could ask for proof of income.
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.

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.
