Data Description

This webpage describes STD cases reported to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Surveillance Program. Data are presented by diagnosis year.

Measure Information

DSHS suppresses data when the population denominator is less than 50, the denominator is less than twice the number of cases, or there are fewer than 5 total cases. This rule only applies to visually discernible populations, such as racial, age, or sex groups. For more information on data suppression, please see the HIV/STD Program's Data Release Policy.

Rates - Population denominators used to calculate rates of new diagnoses are provided by the US Census Bureau, Population Estimates and Projections Program, and are current as of July 1, 2024.
