Available testing centers
12 testing options are listed for Carrollton, TX. The nearest, Labcorp, is about 1.3 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

VCare Clinics in Carrollton runs appointment-based testing across a broader infectious-disease panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, HIV, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and sliding-scale fees for everyone.
The panel at VCare Clinics extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C. Infections that standard sexual-health panels routinely omit. That breadth means a single appointment can resolve diagnostic questions that would otherwise require separate specialist referrals across multiple visits.
VCare Clinics carries hepatitis C care through to treatment, direct-acting antivirals prescribed and monitored by the clinic's own providers, not handed off after a positive antibody result. That means viral-load tracking and prescription management stay within the same clinical relationship from diagnosis forward.

Specialty Care Clinics in Farmers Branch tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit. Fees are charged and insurance is accepted; appointments are required. Spanish-language care is available.
Staff at Specialty Care Clinics conduct visits in Spanish, which means a patient's symptoms, questions, and treatment instructions are discussed with full clinical precision. Not summarized after the fact or filtered through a secondary step.
The panel at Specialty Care Clinics extends beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV to include dedicated hepatitis A and hepatitis B tests, each requiring its own serology, plus TB screening, all drawn and processed through the clinic's own diagnostic workflow.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Addison tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted; bacterial infections treated the same visit. An appointment is required.
Spanish-speaking staff and interpretation services for other languages are available at this Addison location, so clinical conversations (symptoms, treatment options, medication instructions) land with the precision they require rather than getting flattened by translation gaps.
Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Addison operates under Title X, which carries a specific legal guarantee: minors can receive family planning and STI services confidentially, without parental notification, making independent care a protected right rather than an uncertain ask.
Chasing down a PrEP prescription or a PEP course through a separate provider means delays that directly affect prevention: Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Addison prescribes and manages both medications on-site, so the gap between deciding to protect yourself and actually starting treatment closes here.

Plano Internal Medicine Associates accepts Medicare and most insurance on a fee-based scale, covering HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB: with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines on site. Appointments required; Spanish spoken.
Plano Internal Medicine Associates runs hepatitis C antibody testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning a single appointment produces a complete picture rather than a partial one that leaves hepatitis C unaccounted for and unmanaged.
Without a clinic that prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, the gap between a test result and an active prevention regimen can stretch into weeks. Plano Internal Medicine Associates closes that gap: initiating, prescribing, and monitoring both medications in-house so prevention isn't deferred.
Spanish-language care at Plano Internal Medicine Associates is delivered by Spanish-speaking staff during the clinical encounter itself: meaning history-taking, test counseling, and treatment instructions happen in the same language, without relay or delay built into the exchange.

Woven Health Clinic in Farmers Branch runs on a sliding-scale fee structure, with costs adjusted across income levels, and tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV: appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and HPV and hepatitis B vaccines on site.
Woven Health Clinic staffs Spanish-language care at the provider level: meaning clinical history, symptom discussion, and treatment instructions are conducted directly in Spanish by the clinician, not passed through a separate channel. That staffing choice keeps diagnostic accuracy where it belongs: in the room.
Woven Health adds herpes testing to its gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV panel, which means a single appointment can surface an infection that a shorter panel would leave undetected. For anyone with symptoms or recent exposure concerns, that fifth test closes a gap that would otherwise require a separate visit.

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.
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.
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.
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.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Dallas County, the county that includes Carrollton, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#6 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 98% of the state
| Infection | Dallas County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 782.9 20,405 cases ▲ 59% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 359.2 9,362 cases ▲ 104% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8.6 223 cases ▼ 43% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 45.8 1,194 cases ▲ 73% | 26.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 79.3 2,066 cases ▲ 79% | 44.3 | 29.5 |

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 Dallas County, chlamydia has risen from 712.6 to 782.9 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 372.8 to 359.2 per 100,000 (4%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.2 to 8.6 per 100,000 (5%).

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 Dallas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Dallas County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
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.
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.

Data & references
Local context
New Koreatown sits at the north end of Carrollton with a density of households where multiple earners share space, a household size well above the national average pointing to extended families and roommates splitting costs under one roof. Most residents here own their homes, but a sizable share rent, and with typical rent in the four figures, a month where an unexpected medical bill lands is a month where discretionary health spending gets reconsidered. That financial calculus hits hardest for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties forming new relationships, because they are precisely the group where chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis concentrate nationally and across Dallas County. The workforce picture adds another layer.
Nearly three in four Carrollton residents are actively working, many of them commuting out along the PGBT or down I-35E on schedules that don't leave much midday flexibility. A clinic appointment that requires leaving early or taking half a day off is, practically speaking, one that gets postponed. A substantial share of households here clear six figures, but even financially comfortable families on tight schedules face the same calendar crunch as everyone else.
Getting there
Carrollton scores 11.74/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
