The Dallas suburb of Wylie, TX is growing and it is no wonder with the beauty of Lake Lavon and many other recreational areas. Once exclusively a city in Collin County, Wylie has spread into the nearby counties of Dallas and Rockwall. With that growth comes an increase in the prevalence of STDs and HIV/AIDS in the small 75,000-person community.
Between the years of 2010 and 2017, three dominant STDs – chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis – have shown an increase in their prevalence rates within Wylie and Collins County as a whole. In fact, they have increased by 28.1%, 46.4%, and 53.8% respectively.
During this same period, the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS has decreased in the Collin County area that includes Wylie. The overall rate has decreased by 9.6% with those between 18 and 25 being the group with the highest drop. This rate exceeds the decrease realized by the state as a whole.
As an unidentified community health manager said, “The increased education and awareness of the HIV epidemic is working, now we just need to step up our efforts in the area of other STDs.”
While Wylie itself does not offer public health facilities to screen for and treat STDs and HIV/AIDS, there are several clinics nearby that do. Many offer their services at reduced or income dependent rates.
These include the Plano offices of Planned Parenthood of Texas and Health Services of North Texas. Also, Wylie residents can utilize the services offered at Collin County Health Care Services in McKinney and Community Health Services Agency Incorporated (an FQHC facility) in Farmersville, both are less than 15 miles from Wylie.
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.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
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.
