STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Denton County, the county that includes Lakewood Village, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#122 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 52% of the state
| Infection | Denton County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 304.2 3,065 cases ▼ 38% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 105.2 1,060 cases ▼ 40% | 176.4 | 179.5 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Denton County, chlamydia has risen from 234.1 to 304.2 per 100,000 (30%), gonorrhea has risen from 93 to 105.2 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.2 to 1.4 per 100,000 (67%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Denton County.
Local HIV snapshot
Denton County HIV care continuum (2023)
Denton County recorded 11.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Denton County residents living with HIV, 82.9% are in care · 73.8% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Denton County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Hidden Cove Park sits quietly at the end of a peninsula where Lewisville Lake laps at Denton County's edge, and that same lakeside remove that makes Lakewood Village feel unhurried is exactly what makes getting tested a logistical project rather than a quick errand. The town's makeup shapes who feels that distance most. Lakewood Village skews heavily toward homeowners in established households: married couples with children are the norm here, and most working-age adults are employed.
That stability is real, but it can mean that younger adults still forming relationships, exactly the group for whom routine screening matters most, are fewer in number and perhaps less likely to see testing as something worth the drive without a clear nudge. The cost picture, at least, offers some relief for higher-earning households, and more than half here clear six figures annually. But the options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost appointments that matter most to the smaller share of residents whose incomes sit below that threshold, including anyone renting at Lakewood Village's going rate.
Getting there
At 7.17/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Lakewood Village generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Texas law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Texas permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
