STI Testing

Home Services STI Testing

Health Services of North Texas (HSNT) provides private and confidential STI testing and care for patients of all ages. Our goal is to help keep you and our community healthy through early testing, treatment, and prevention.

You can receive STI testing at our health centers in Denton and Plano. Our care teams are here to support you without judgment, in a safe and welcoming environment.

STI Testing

Why STI Testing Matters

Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) do not cause symptoms right away. Without testing and treatment, STIs can lead to serious health problems such as:
  • Chronic illness
  • Infertility
  • Reproductive organ damage
  • Certain cancers
  • Vision problems
Early screening helps protect your health and helps prevent the spread of infection to others. When found early, many STIs can be treated or managed with medication. HSNT does offer FREE HIV Screening on Friday mornings from 9:00 am to noon at our Denton Medical Center and HSNT Plano locations. This is truly a screening that if screened positive we then schedule an appointment and conduct a full testing panel. We have an entire website dedicated to Ending the HIV Epidemic.
