Spanish Is the Working Language Here

Spanish runs through the clinical workflow at South Texas Rural Health Services: not routed through an add-on service but staffed directly, so counseling, treatment instructions, and follow-up conversations happen in Spanish as the primary operating language, not a secondary accommodation.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares a Roof With STI Care

Substance abuse treatment is a named, active service at South Texas Rural Health Services alongside STI diagnosis and treatment. Meaning a provider managing both conditions can coordinate care from a single chart rather than splitting it across separate programs or facilities.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Extend the Standard Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, South Texas Rural Health Services tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and carries the hepatitis A and B vaccines, so a single appointment can address the full hepatitis exposure picture rather than leaving those results to a separate visit.

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.
