I’ve had a fever for a few days and was struggling with dehydration. I was able to schedule the same day and waited for all of three minutes. From check in to each staff member to the NP everyone was wonderful. They ran tests and did their due diligence to discover what could be going on with me. Once I ran my tests, I went over and got an IV to assist with the dehydration. I left feeling much better and with peace of mind. I would recommend Neu Med urgent care and IV.

It was very easy to book an appointment online. There was no wait, just a few forms to fill out. The nurse practitioner was knowledgeable and friendly. I got the care I needed, and prescriptions were sent to my pharmacy. I would use them again for urgent care.

I am a person who regularly receives B12 and vitamin shots as well as IV infusions. I had the worst experience this week when it was my first time visiting neumed modern urgent care. The doctor was very rude, did not have a gentle hand, after stabbing me three times to get my bulging vein,  they realize Metal stand that holds the IV bag is broken and that it's the only one in the facility. I have to get up from previously laying down on the table and walk all the way through their facility in pain after being stuck three times because they have one stand to hold an IV bag, don't make the mistake of going here. My arm still hurts and I didn't feel much of a difference.

Woke up with sinus pressure. I was able to be seen in less than 30 min.  The staff was amazing, Nataly at the front desk, Mariana at the back office-who by the way gives great injections, and last but not least the NP Abraham.  Would recommend this Urgent Care!!

Overview of STD Testing in Houston

Who should get tested for STDs?

In Houston, TX, and the rest of the United States, sexually active individuals should consider getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This is particularly important for those who have multiple sexual partners, those who do not consistently use condoms during sex, and those who have shared needles during drug use. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all sexually active women under the age of 25 get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia annually, as these groups are at higher risk. According to the CDC, men who have sex with men should also get tested more frequently, ideally every 3 to 6 months.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for STDs is crucial in maintaining sexual and overall health. Many STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, can be asymptomatic, meaning they do not present any noticeable symptoms. If left untreated, these diseases can lead to severe health complications, including infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and increased risk of contracting HIV. Regular testing allows for early detection and treatment, reducing the risk of these complications and helping to prevent the spread of these diseases to others.

STD testing options in Houston, TX

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Houston offers numerous urgent care and walk-in clinics for STD testing. Locations such as Memorial Hermann-Gohealth Urgent Care and AFC Urgent Care offer convenient, same-day and next-day appointments for STD testing, which can be booked through Solv’s website and mobile app. These clinics provide quick and confidential testing services.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are also a reliable option for STD testing. Your primary care doctor can offer advice based on your specific risk factors and symptoms, and can provide referrals to specialists if necessary.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those without insurance or with financial constraints, free STD testing is available at various community health centers in Houston. These centers provide confidential testing and treatment services, regardless of your ability to pay.

At-home testing

At-home STD testing kits are also available for those who prefer privacy and convenience. These kits can be ordered online and delivered discreetly to your home.

Prevalence of STDs in Houston

Houston, located in Harris County, has seen a significant increase in STD rates over the years. According to the CDC, Harris County ranks among the top in the nation for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases. In comparison to nearby cities such as West University Place, Bellaire, and Jacinto City, Houston has a higher prevalence of STDs. The rates of STDs in Houston are also higher than the national average, underscoring the importance of regular testing.

Risk factors related to STDs in Houston

Several factors contribute to the high prevalence of STDs in Houston. These include a lack of comprehensive sex education, high poverty rates, and limited access to healthcare services in certain areas. Additionally, stigma and lack of awareness around STDs can prevent people from getting tested and treated. To combat the spread of STDs, it's crucial to get tested regularly, especially if you're sexually active and fall into one of the high-risk groups. With 741 testing locations in the area, including NeuMed Modern Urgent Care and AFC Urgent Care, getting tested in Houston has never been easier.

STD Testing FAQs

  • Where should I get an STD test in Houston?

    In a doctor's office, a health clinic, or an urgent care center, you can get an STD test. If you're experiencing symptoms, it's best to visit a doctor's office, where they can also treat you or issue you a prescription. While some Houston clinics and urgent care centers allow walk-in appointments, it's advisable to make an appointment ahead of time to prevent excessive waits.

  • How long does it take to get STD test results?

    Various testing are required for various STDs. Depending on the type of STD test you took, you may receive your results in two to ten days. Some outcomes may be immediately available. Your doctor may be able to diagnose an STD through a physical examination. In some cases, your doctor's office may only contact you if your test results are positive.

  • How much does an STD test cost in Houston?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by several factors, including where you are tested, the type of test you need, and if you have health insurance. Some Houston clinics may offer free testing or testing on a sliding scale based on your income. Because of the cost, don't put off obtaining an STD test. With your doctor's office, discuss the cost and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment may have catastrophic implications.

  • Does insurance cover STD testing in Houston?

    The cost of STD testing is governed by a number of factors, including the location of the test, the type of test required, and whether or not you have health insurance. Some clinics may provide free or sliding-scale testing, depending on your income. Don't let the expense of an STD test deter you from getting one. With your doctor's office, discuss the price and payment choices. Delaying STD treatment could have catastrophic ramifications.

  • How do they test for STDs in Houston?

    There are around 20 different forms of STDs, each with its own set of diagnostic tests. No single test exists that can detect all types of STDs. Your doctor can help you figure out which tests you'll need. In STD testing, a blood sample or a urine sample may be used. Your doctor may also take a swab from the inside of your cheek, your vaginal area, or another potentially infected place.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    Blood tests are used to diagnose hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, HIV, and syphilis. In a laboratory, a technician examines a blood sample for antibodies that the body has produced in reaction to disease. The virus's DNA can also be detected by several blood tests. Remember that if you've recently been exposed to an STD and your body hasn't yet produced antibodies, you could test negative even if you have the disease.

  • Can I get a same-day appointment for STD testing in Houston?

    Many Houston, TX urgent care providers offer same-day and next-day appointments, which you may book through Solv. To make healthcare more accessible to everyone, we collaborate with thousands of top-rated local providers. Our physician partners understand that waiting days, if not weeks, for an appointment isn't always the best option, and they share our commitment to simple, accessible health care.

  • How can I book an STD test on Solv?

    To find a healthcare practitioner in your area, simply enter your location and search for "STD test" on our website. A list of providers and available appointments can be found on the following page. Choose the most convenient time and location for you. Make it clear that you've come for STD testing.

  • How long does an STD test take in Houston?

    If you have a specific STD, inform your doctor so that the necessary test can be scheduled. Otherwise, they'll help you figure out which tests you'll need. The nurse or doctor simply needs a few minutes to get a blood sample, a urine sample, or a swab from the probable infection site.

  • Can I test myself for STDs at home?

    Although there are several STD home tests available, not all of them are accurate. The accuracy of any STD test is determined by the quality of the sample taken. For home STD kits, a blood sample, a urine sample, or both are frequently required. Because doctors and nurses have more experience collecting samples, traditional in-office STD testing is the most accurate.
