All Texas providers who diagnose or treat a reportable sexually transmitted infection must report it to the local health authority within 7 days, and the STD-27 is the DSHS form for doing so. It covers chancroid, gonorrhea, chlamydia, PID, lymphogranuloma venereum, syphilis by stage and HIV status, with test type and treatment. Disease Intervention Specialists use page 2 for confidential partner notification.
The diagnosing or treating provider completes both pages; shaded areas are not required by law but help identification and follow-up. Page 2 lists sexual or needle-sharing partners and the staff contact the health department should call first.

Confidential Report of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Within 7 days to the local health authority, as printed at the top of the STD-27. Primary and secondary syphilis need a phone call within one working day as well, with the STD-27 still due within seven calendar days. Laboratories have their own deadlines for reporting results.
Page 2 asks for the patient's sexual or needle-sharing partners so a Disease Intervention Specialist can notify them confidentially. The form says the specialist will not reveal the patient's identity, and the provider can ask to be consulted before staff contact the patient.
