Every Service Runs on Zero-Dollar Terms

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.

Spanish-Language Care Beyond Translation Alone

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.

PrEP and PEP Are Both on the Formulary

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.

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.

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.
