Rated 3.4 out of 5 from 133 reviews

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Plano runs the full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and both conventional and rapid HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments required. Spanish and interpretation services are available throughout.

Read full overview

Spanish and Interpretation Built Into Every Appointment

For anyone navigating a health concern in Spanish or another non-English language, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas staffs Spanish-language care and arranges interpretation so that clinical conversations (test results, treatment options, PrEP eligibility) happen without a language gap standing between the patient and a clear answer.

Minors Receive Confidential STI Care Here

Without Title X coverage, a minor seeking STI testing can face a billing trail that surfaces on a parent's insurance, or no care at all. As a Title X family planning site, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Plano provides legally confidential services for minors, so the care doesn't hinge on a permission structure that forecloses the visit.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

PrEP at this clinic means ongoing prescribing and the follow-up HIV and kidney-function monitoring that daily Truvada or Descovy requires to remain safe and effective; PEP is available for post-exposure situations with clinical oversight built into the regimen, both managed by the same staff handling the broader STI panel.

Texas Infectious Disease Institute

Texas Infectious Disease Institute in Richardson tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and all three hepatitis strains, and treats bacterial STIs at the same appointment. Fees run on a sliding scale, with insurance and Medicaid accepted. Care is available in French and Spanish.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated in Richardson

Plenty of clinics will run a hepatitis C antibody test and leave patients to find a specialist for what comes next. Texas Infectious Disease Institute closes that gap, antiviral treatment for hepatitis C is managed on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a care plan without a separate provider search.

PrEP at Texas Infectious Disease Institute means a prescription for daily oral medication alongside the regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring the regimen requires. PEP is similarly prescribed and followed here. Both are available to uninsured patients through sliding-scale fees, keeping the clinical relationship, not just the initial script, intact.

French and Spanish Care Without a Handoff

When a clinic can't conduct a visit in a patient's language, the workaround costs time and sometimes accuracy. A misread symptom, a misunderstood dosing schedule, a follow-up that doesn't happen. Texas Infectious Disease Institute holds clinical conversations directly in French and Spanish, so nothing in a care plan gets filtered through an intermediary.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Julias Center for Healthcare in Plano runs its full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, conventional HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB) with appointments required and a fee structure that accepts donations, scales to income, or waives cost entirely.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price

The no-fee structure at Julias Center for Healthcare isn't a waiver applied after a means test: it's the baseline rate for every service on the menu, from the initial panel to STI treatment and vaccines. Staff deliver care against that same price floor regardless of what brought someone in.

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Core Panel

Julias Center for Healthcare tests for hepatitis B and C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning a single visit can surface a hepatitis infection that would otherwise go undetected until it showed up in a separate workup somewhere else.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 1331 reviews

Neighborhood Medical Center in Dallas takes walk-ins for a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, TB, and HIV) with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and clinical staff who deliver care in Spanish.

Read full overview

The Panel Extends Past the Standard Four

Clinics that run only the four-infection panel leave herpes and hepatitis testing to separate appointments, separate facilities, or separate providers entirely. Neighborhood Medical Center closes that gap: herpes simplex, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are all on the same panel as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. One visit, one place.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site in Dallas

Neighborhood Medical Center prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral chain needed to get started or to stay on regimen. PrEP requires ongoing HIV testing and kidney-function monitoring to prescribe safely, and the clinical staff here carry out that follow-up themselves rather than handing it off.

Full Clinical Care Conducted in Spanish

For someone without a regular primary-care provider (navigating PrEP adherence, a new diagnosis, or an unfamiliar medication) having clinical staff who work in Spanish directly shapes the quality of what gets communicated and understood. Neighborhood Medical Center delivers that care in Spanish at the provider level, not through a workaround.

STDs & HIV in Dallas County: the local picture

An estimated ~34% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Dallas County HIV care continuum (2023)

Dallas County recorded 38.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Dallas County residents living with HIV, 83.6% know their status · 79.1% are in care · 67.5% 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.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Dallas County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Richardson, TX

East Belt Line Road cuts through Richardson past strip centers, quick-service restaurants, and the kind of mid-priced apartments where a $1,400-a-month rent leaves little room for discretionary spending, medical or otherwise. That cost texture matters when someone is weighing whether to schedule a screening, because even modest out-of-pocket fees can quietly become a reason to postpone. Richardson's household profile adds another layer. Most residents own their homes, but a substantial share rent, and average households here run larger than the national norm, meaning schedules often revolve around multiple people's obligations.

With more than two-thirds of the population actively in the workforce, weekday clinic hours can be genuinely hard to reach. Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a sizable slice of the population, and for that group, the period of forming new relationships is precisely when regular screening has the most practical impact. Neighborhoods like SpringPark and Whispering Hills sit close to US 75, which means most of those listed options are reachable on a commute corridor residents already travel. For anyone renting near North Jupiter Road, that corridor access makes fitting a visit around work hours considerably more straightforward than it would be otherwise.

Confidentiality & consent in Texas Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
