STD Testing in Texas - What You Need to Know
How Common Are STDs in Texas?
Texas is the Lone Star State — the second most populous and second largest state in the nation, a place where Houston's Space Center and energy industry, Dallas's financial and tech corridors, San Antonio's military heritage, Austin's live music scene, and the vast ranching and agricultural landscapes of West Texas create one of the most economically and culturally diverse states in the country. With over 30 million residents and a growth rate that added more people than any other state in the past decade, Texas is reshaping the demographics of America in real time.
That scale makes Texas the state with the third-largest absolute STI burden in the country, behind only California and New York, with over 400,000 combined chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases reported annually. Harris County (Houston) accounts for the largest share, with Fifth Ward, Third Ward, and Sunnyside carrying concentrated rates driven by the highest uninsured rate of any state (~18%) and HIV prevalence among the highest of any Sun Belt city. San Antonio ranks highest among Texas's big cities for combined STI rate, shaped by Joint Base San Antonio — Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph collectively hosting 80,000 active duty personnel. Dallas's southern sector and the 1,254-mile Mexico border corridor through El Paso, Laredo, McAllen, and Brownsville create additional transmission dynamics. The UT system enrolls over 230,000 students across campuses already in high-prevalence areas — making confidential, private testing a practical option across the state.
Texas STD Rates: By the Numbers
Texas carries the third-largest absolute STI burden of any state, with structural factors that make it one of the most complex STI environments in the country. According to CDC surveillance data and the Texas Department of State Health Services:
• Texas ranks #19 nationally for combined STD rate per capita, but #3 for total case volume — with over 400,000 combined chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases reported annually across 30 million residents
• Texas was one of only five states where overall STD rates increased between 2019 and 2023 (up 11.7%), bucking the national trend of declining rates during the same period
• Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Tarrant County (Fort Worth), and Austin account for more than half of all syphilis cases statewide — with 222 of Texas's 254 counties reporting at least one syphilis case in 2022, a 4% increase from the prior year
• San Antonio ranks highest among Texas's major cities for combined STI rate, driven by Joint Base San Antonio's 80,000 active duty personnel — followed by Austin (#49 nationally), Dallas (#50), Houston (#58), and El Paso (#58)
• Texas has the highest uninsured rate of any state at approximately 18%, with 19.5% of San Antonio's under-65 population lacking health insurance — more than double the national average — creating critical barriers to routine STI screening
• Women account for 65% of chlamydia cases while men account for 61% of gonorrhea and 68% of syphilis cases statewide, with 15–24-year-olds representing nearly half of all chlamydia and gonorrhea diagnoses
• Many infections show no symptoms — making routine testing the only reliable way to know your status
