STD Definitions/Descriptions
STD stands for Sexually Transmitted Disease, also known as STI or Sexually Transmitted Infection, meaning that these diseases are most often, but not exclusively, spread by sexual intercourse.
STDs are passed from one person to another through sexual activity which can include vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse and/or anal intercourse. Though not as common, STDs can also be transmitted through intimate physical contact such as heavy petting.
STDs do not always cause symptoms, or they may only cause mild symptoms. This makes it very possible to have an infection and not know it. Therefore, if you are sexually active it is important to get tested at least once a year. You will find the most common types of STD and STI testing below.
HIV - HIV is a sexually transmitted disease (that can be spread outside of sexual contact) known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It is the virus that causes AIDS and interferes with the body's ability to fight infections.
Herpes 1 and 2 - Herpes is an infection caused by HSV (herpes simplex virus). This virus affects the external genital, anal region, mucosal surfaces and skin in other parts of the body. There are two types of herpes simplex viruses: HSV-1 9 herpes type 1, or oral herpes) and HSV-2 (herpes type 2, or genital herpes).
Gonorrhea - Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted disease that can cause infections in the genitals, rectum and throat for both men and women. If untreated it can cause serious health issues, however, if it is caught in time it can be cured with the right medicine.
Chlamydia - Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease that may not show symptoms. However, those that do show symptoms may experience genital pain and discharge from the vagina or penis. If left untreated it can cause damaging effects to the woman's reproductive system.
Syphilis - Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that develops in different stages. The first stage involves a painless sore on the genitals, rectum or mouth. After that initial sore heals, the second stage is a rash. Then, there are no symptoms until years later which is the final stage - damaged brain, nerves, eyes and/or heart.
Many STDs can be easily cured with medication, so you can just finish your treatment and get on with your life. And even though some STDs can't be cured, there are lots of ways to treat your symptoms and prevent you from giving your STD to anyone you have sex with.
People with STDs can be in relationships, have sex, and live totally normal lives. Most people get an STD at least once, and millions are living with STDs now. Having an STD is nothing to feel ashamed of, and it doesn't mean you're "dirty" or a bad person , it just means you're a pretty normal human who got an infection. The reality is that STDs can happen to anybody who's ever been sexual with someone, which is almost everybody on earth. And a few STDs can be spread in non-sexual ways, too.
Accredited Drug Testing can schedule your STD test at an Matthews, Texas testing facility in a confidential, friendly and professional manner. Call us today!

Matthews is an unincorporated community on the southeastern edge of Colorado County, in the U.S. state of Texas. The community is located south of Eagle Lake near the junction of FM 102 and FM 950. The settlement was named for a man who owned an area plantation before the American Civil War. By 2013, the school, post office, businesses and railroad line that once served Matthews were gone, but the number of silos in the neighborhood indicated that the land was still being intensively farmed.
According to the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), Matthews is located at both 29°29?58?N 96°19?22?W? / ?29.49944°N 96.32278°W? / 29.49944; -96.32278 and 29°30?43?N 96°19?46?W? / ?29.51194°N 96.32944°W? / 29.51194; -96.32944. The first location is just south of the intersection of FM 102 and Strickland Lane. The second location is where Matthews Store Road crosses the former railroad right-of-way. A third location is given by the Texas State Historical Association, which describes the community as being situated at the junction of FM 102 and FM 950. The third location is 0.8 miles (1.3 km) northwest of the first GNIS site and 0.2 miles (0.3 km) south of the second GNIS location. Matthews Store Road is an east-west connector of FM 102 and the parallel FM 3013. Matthews is 6.2 miles (10.0 km) south of Eagle Lake and 20.9 miles (33.6 km) northwest of Wharton on FM 102. The community is 6.4 miles (10.3 km) northeast of Garwood on FM 950.
In 1827, John Matthews purchased acreage from James Nelson, one of the Old Three Hundred who were granted land in Stephen F. Austin's colony. Matthews started a successful plantation that owned 140 slaves by 1860. The community that formed in the area served Matthews' and other nearby plantations. After the end of the Civil War, many of the freed slaves stayed in the area.
Freed slaves who were descendants of James Montgomery's plantation slaves from Matthews stayed in and around the area and have gone on to great heights. Rev. Daniel Whitley, one of Montgomery's slaves who was emancipated after the American Civil War, went on to be a minister in both Columbus and in Eagle Lake. His grandson, John Whitley, who was raised in the house of Whitley's daughter Cordelia and her husband after both his father and mother had died, became a noted art restorer and intimate of J. Frank Dobie who at one time restored all of the paintings hanging in the Texas Capitol. Cordelia's husband, Daniel Whitley's son-in-law, Cicero Howard, was the second black man elected to public office in Colorado County at the county level, and the first black Colorado County Commissioner.
