- Appointments: required. Call (214) 819-1819 as early as possible on the day you want to come; the line opens at 7:45 a.m.
- Mobile Medical Unit: offers routine testing (no symptoms, no treatment needed) on a published schedule around the county for people who cannot make clinic hours.
- Cost: low cost; the clinic does not turn people away for inability to pay.
Rapid HIV results are available during the visit; other results take several days. Tarrant County Public Health operates a similar sexual health clinic serving Fort Worth; check its site for current hours.
Urgent care in DFW
Urgent care is on nearly every major intersection in the metroplex, and most offer STD testing with an exam. Without insurance, budget $100 to $200 for the visit plus lab charges, and expect results in 2 to 5 days. Some locations run rapid HIV on site. The right choice if you have symptoms and want treatment before results are back.
Texas notes
- Expedited partner therapy: Texas allows clinicians to treat the partners of patients diagnosed with chlamydia or gonorrhea without a separate visit. Ask about it if you test positive.
- Minors: Texas requires parental consent for most minor health care, but STD diagnosis and treatment is an exception; minors can consent to their own STD testing and treatment.
- Weekends: private lab Saturday hours are the most reliable weekend option; the county clinic is weekdays only.
When to test
Chlamydia and gonorrhea at 2 weeks after exposure, HIV and syphilis at 6 weeks, herpes antibody at 12 weeks. With symptoms, test now and retest after the window.
Which tests to order
The 10-test panel ($139) covers the common infections in one visit. After one known exposure, chlamydia and gonorrhea together ($99) at two weeks and HIV plus syphilis ($49 each) at six weeks is a reasonable minimum. Syphilis has been rising sharply in Texas, so include it in any panel.
