Free and Confidential STD Testing in Tarrant County

Did you know that half of adults get a sexually transmitted disease (STD) by the time they’re 25 years old? And considering that less than 12 percent of people get tested, many end up spreading STDs to their partners without even knowing it.

If left untreated, sexually transmitted diseases can cause infertility, blindness, and cancer – they can even be fatal. To learn all about different kinds of STDs and how they can be treated, visit this STD Information page.

Tarrant County Public Health's (TCPH) Outreach Prevention Team offers free or low-cost STD testing for anyone who wants it. This testing is confidential and is offered on a walk-in basis at locations other than the department's primary clinics.

Last patients will be seen 30 minutes before closing time.

Test results will be available via phone call or pick up, seven business days after testing. For a return test results call, please allow up to 24 hours for a return callback. On Fridays, weekends, or holidays please allow up to 48 hours for return calls. If you have not received a phone call after seven business days, please call 817-248-6299.

The testing dates and times are subject to change without notice, in the event of weather conditions, personnel needs or program requirements. In some circumstances, testing events may end early or be canceled at any time. Notice of cancelations will be given to the facility or organizational contact person(s) in a timely manner.

Confidentiality

Outreach staff and clinicians are bound by law to confidentiality regarding any diagnosis and treatment. Our staff will not discuss your health with anyone but you.

All services/information will not be released without the client's written consent. Anonymous testing is offered for HIV only. Although all testing is confidential, with anonymous testing you will be assigned a fictitious name.
