The SHWC offers testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) without an appointment.
Discounted testing is available several times throughout the year.
When available, results can be found in the Patient Portal.
Patients are only contacted if they have abnormal results.
Next Steps After a Positive Result
Patients are called at the phone number they listed on their testing paperwork to give more information
about treatment or any follow-up testing.
If we can't reach a patient by phone, we send a certified letter to the mailing address on file with UNT. This may be a parent's address.
If a patient has a positive or inconclusive HIV or syphilis result, we must send blood for required state confirmatory testing. The only exception
if for patients who already have a known case of syphilis. Patients are responsible
for any extra charges from this testing.
