Special Health Resources for Texas in Paris tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on a sliding-scale basis, with appointments required, and delivers same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, all at no charge.
Special Health Resources for Texas charges nothing for any service it provides, not the test, not the treatment, not the counseling. For someone managing care without insurance or a regular provider and paying every medical bill out of pocket, that standing policy covers the full visit, not just the HIV rapid test.
Many clinics offer Spanish as an add-on, a voice on a phone, an outside service. Special Health Resources for Texas in Paris carries Spanish as a direct service language, so clinical conversations about hepatitis, PrEP, or TB treatment happen without a relay in the middle.
Special Health Resources for Texas holds both PrEP, the daily oral regimen that suppresses HIV transmission risk over time, and PEP within its own care portfolio, meaning neither requires a separate prescriber or referral pathway. Having both options housed together lets the clinic match the right prevention tool to the right clinical window.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Red River County, the county that includes Clarksville, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#153 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 40% of the state
| Infection | Red River County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 256.9 30 cases ▼ 48% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 102.8 12 cases ▼ 42% | 176.4 | 179.5 |

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 Red River County, chlamydia has fallen from 405.6 to 256.9 per 100,000 (37%), gonorrhea has fallen from 198.5 to 102.8 per 100,000 (48%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 26 to 17.1 per 100,000 (34%).

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 Red River County.
Local HIV snapshot
Red River County HIV care continuum (2023)
Red River County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Red River County residents living with HIV, 95.7% are in care · 78.3% 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 Red River County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Firemans Park anchors a town where most households own their homes outright, at values that leave little cushion for unexpected costs, and where fewer than six in ten adults are in the labor force at all. That combination shapes daily life in ways that matter for healthcare: people working irregular hours or cobbling together part-time income often find scheduled appointments harder to keep than they look on paper, and when budgets run tight, a clinic visit can feel like it competes with rent. That pressure falls unevenly on younger adults, those in their late teens and twenties still forming relationships and building financial footing, who make up a meaningful share of Clarksville's roughly 3,000 residents and face the sharpest STI risk nationally during exactly these years.
With just over a third of adults married and households averaging nearly three people, this is a community with a lot of interconnected lives, and routine screening is one of the quieter ways people look out for one another. Clarksville sits in Red River County, and the options listed on this page reflect how rural geography works here: reaching a clinic likely means a deliberate drive out along US 82 rather than a short errand. The range of hours and fee structures among those listed options (some sliding-scale, some offering extended availability) means residents near West Main Street and those farther out have real choices worth comparing.
Getting there
At 3.39/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Clarksville generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
