How to read these listings
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.

HealthPoint in College Station runs appointments covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and HIV, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections confirmed on site; fees slide to income across all payers, including Medicaid and Medicare. Spanish-language care is staffed, not supplemental.

Herpes and Hepatitis Worked Into Every Panel
HealthPoint's testing protocol includes herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and HIV screens: meaning a single appointment generates results across all seven, each ordered and tracked through the same clinical visit rather than split across referrals or separate encounters.
PrEP Prescribed Here, Not Arranged Elsewhere
Prevention prescriptions for HIV stop at the brochure stage at clinics without prescribing capacity: HealthPoint carries a full PrEP program, meaning the medication is evaluated, initiated, and monitored on site, with follow-up labs built into the ongoing care plan.
Spanish Care Is Clinical, Not Supplemental
Spanish at HealthPoint means the clinical conversation (history, diagnosis, treatment instructions, and follow-up) happens in Spanish through staffed capacity, so medication directions and monitoring plans are communicated in the language the patient reasons through without an intermediary handling the clinical content.

Integrity Urgent Care in College Station folds STI testing into an urgent-care practice: appointments required, insurance and Medicare accepted, with fees scaled to income. The panel covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care available in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care Without a Relay
Integrity Urgent Care delivers STI care directly in Spanish: clinical history, diagnosis, and treatment instructions all conducted in the language, not routed through a separate service. That means nuance stays intact at every point where it matters: symptom description, treatment adherence, and follow-up planning.
Herpes and Hepatitis Tested on the Same Visit
Beyond the core four, Integrity tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C in the same appointment. Catching hepatitis B or C early opens the door to on-site management before liver involvement progresses, an outcome a narrower panel would miss entirely.

Brazos Valley Community Action Agency in College Station was built for people navigating gaps in coverage: uninsured, cash-paying, or caught between providers.

Brazos County Health District in Bryan covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV testing on a sliding-scale fee. With no appointment needed and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, all services available at no cost.

Zero Cost Closes the Gap Between Test and Treatment
When cost sits between a positive result and follow-up care, infections go untreated and transmission continues. At Brazos County Health District, every service (testing, counseling, vaccination, treatment) carries no fee, so nothing about the bill interrupts the path from diagnosis to care.
Spanish-Language Care Keeps Nothing Lost in Translation
When clinical conversations happen across a language barrier, critical details (symptom timelines, medication instructions, risk context) get lost, and care suffers for it. Brazos County Health District delivers services directly in Spanish, so nothing between a question and its answer depends on approximation.
PrEP and PEP Dispensed Directly in Bryan
PrEP, typically tenofovir-based daily therapy, requires ongoing HIV and kidney monitoring to be prescribed safely; Brazos County Health District manages both the prescription and the follow-up in-house. PEP is also available, giving Bryan residents access to both prevention tracks from a single clinic.
Grimes County Community HC in Navasota carries federal qualification that ties its STI screening fees directly to each patient's income, meaning the sliding scale applies to everyone who walks in. Syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing are available without a prior appointment.
HealthPoint Hearne, serving Hearne residents who are uninsured, paying cash, or caught between providers, earns its federally qualified designation by tying STI screening costs to income. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing on a sliding-scale fee schedule.
Texas Department of State Health Services in Hearne tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicare and most insurers; gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are treated the same visit, and appointments are required.

DoxyPEP Is Prescribed and Monitored Here
DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after a potential bacterial STI exposure, requires a provider who can assess eligibility, write the prescription, and track outcomes over time. The staff here handle all three: clinical evaluation, the prescription itself, and the follow-up monitoring that makes the regimen effective rather than haphazard.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, consolidating hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB screening with a full bacterial and HIV panel in a single appointment closes gaps that would otherwise require separate referrals across multiple offices. The clinic carries hepatitis B vaccination as well, so screening and protection happen together.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to College Station, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among Brazos County residents living with HIV, 72.2% are in care · 62.1% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Brazos County tests for syphilis.

Texas Avenue South cuts through a College Station where most residents rent rather than own, and where a monthly rent hovering just below a thousand dollars leaves limited room for healthcare costs that feel optional until they suddenly aren't. That cost reality shapes decisions quietly: when a bill feels uncertain or an appointment requires taking time away from hourly work, routine screening slides. With nearly two-thirds of households renting and fewer than a quarter earning six figures, the price and scheduling details on the clinic cards listed here carry genuine weight. The city's age makeup tells its own story.
College Station skews dramatically young, and people in their late teens and twenties, forming new relationships and moving frequently between apartments like those along Riverwalk or near Southwood Valley, are at the point in life when regular STI screening is simply sound practice. For that group, the question of whether a clinic requires a long drive down FM 2818 or keeps hours that don't conflict with a Tuesday afternoon class or shift matters as much as the test itself. Brazos County's STI figures give College Station residents good reason to treat screening as a standing habit rather than a crisis response.

Confidentiality & consent in TexasMinor 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.
