Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD/HIV) Clinic

​​​​The mission of Collin County STD/HIV Clinic is to provide eligible uninsured and/or underinsured residents of Collin County with quality education, screening, counseling and treatment services in order to prevent, control, and eliminate the spread of STDs in the county. To ensure the protection of the public, we continually strive to maintain close communication with clients, health providers, and other agencies to facilitate the exchange of information and strengthen our epidemiologic investigations of cases.

While substantial progress has been made in preventing, diagnosing, and treating certain STDs in recent years, the CDC estimates that 19 million new infections occur each year, almost half of them among young people ages 15 to 24. STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Diseases, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or other organisms. Bacterial STDs include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Trichomoniasis, and Bacterial Vaginosis. Viral STDs include Herpes, Genital Warts, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Although most people with STD infections do not experience any signs or symptoms of the disease, the following are some possible signs and symptoms:

  • Painful or painless sores in vaginal, oral, or anal area.
  • Unusual discharge
  • Burning during urination
  • Pelvic, lower abdominal, or groin pain
  • Itching
  • Warts on genitals, anus, or urethra

In most cases, bacterial STDs can be treated and cured by simple antibiotics. Viral STDs, however, in most cases can only be treated but not cured. STDs are spread through intimate person-to-person contact such as oral, vaginal, and anal sex. They can also be spread through the sharing of needles. Pregnant women may spread STDs to their babies before giving birth, during birth, or after birth through breast-feeding. STDs have harmful effects on babies and can cause stillbirth, low birth weight, conjunctivitis (eye infection), pneumonia, neonatal sepsis, neurologic damage, and even blindness and deafness. In adults, STDs can cause other complications such as cervical or other cancers, chronic hepatitis, pelvic inflammatory diseases, infertility, or make the infected person more susceptible to acquiring HIV.

STDs are preventable. If you have sex, know how to protect yourself and your sexual partners from STDs. STDs don't always cause symptoms or may only cause mild symptom, so it is possible to have an infection and not know it. So, it is important to be tested and treated for STDs in a timely manner. If you think you have an STD, get tested. If you know you have an STD, get treated.

Counseling and Treatment Services

Our clinical staff members are professionals trained in the diagnosis, treatment, counseling, and follow-up of STD cases. Based upon the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) guidelines, we provide counseling and treatment for eligible and uninsured residents of Collin County who are patients that have been diagnosed with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Bacterial Vaginosis, or Trichomoniasis. It is important for patients to work closely with clinic staff to ensure that they understand their condition and are treated appropriately and not get re-infected or exposed to another STD. Individuals who test positive for HIV can receive treatment from their private physician or be referred by our clinic to the Dallas County HIV Early Intervention Clinic located at the Dallas County Health and Human Services, or to AIDS Services of North Texas in Plano.

In addition to providing evaluation, treatment, counseling, and referral services to help clients deal with the newly infected STD, our clinic also works closely with the Health Department Epidemiologist. Disease Intervention Services (DIS) will work with patients with the partner notification process. This ensures that possible contacts receive timely testing and treatment of HIV & Syphilis.
