Total Point Urgent Care in Hallsville runs its STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale fees accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance, with no appointment required, all delivered in Spanish.
Spanish is a working clinical language at Total Point Urgent Care, not a courtesy add-on: providers conduct the full intake, counseling, and treatment conversation in Spanish without a relay step. That means test results, treatment instructions, and hepatitis prevention education all move through the same fluent exchange from the first question to discharge.
The clinic's testing protocol includes hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. All drawn and processed in a single visit. Providers are also staffed to deliver hepatitis A and B vaccines on-site, so exposure risk and immunity gaps can be addressed in the same appointment without scheduling a separate visit.

Wellness Pointe – Longview – South earned its federally qualified designation by tying fees directly to income, so sliding-scale STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing) stays within reach across income levels. Walk-ins are welcome, and no appointment is needed to get started.

Fees & payment
Wellness Pointe in Longview runs by appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks the full visit: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, plus same-visit bacterial treatment, sliding-scale fees, and HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines.
Wellness Pointe runs a ten-pathogen panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes simplex, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) meaning a single scheduled visit can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unaddressed.
Without a clinic that carries PrEP as a standing service, the gap between a prevention conversation and an actual prescription can stretch across multiple providers and weeks. Wellness Pointe prescribes and manages PrEP and PEP directly, keeping the prevention continuum intact within one practice.
Wellness Pointe maintains Spanish-language capacity as a direct clinical resource and has structured interpretation services in place for other languages: meaning providers can take a history, explain a diagnosis, and walk through a treatment plan in the language the patient uses, without routing communication through a secondary layer.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Rusk County, the county that includes Easton, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~11% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#83 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 67% of the state
| Infection | Rusk County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 376.8 200 cases ▼ 23% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 90.4 48 cases ▼ 49% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 17 9 cases ▲ 13% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 103.6 55 cases ▲ 292% | 26.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 226.1 120 cases ▲ 410% | 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 Rusk County, chlamydia has risen from 296.9 to 376.8 per 100,000 (27%), gonorrhea has fallen from 160.9 to 90.4 per 100,000 (44%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 13.3 to 17 per 100,000 (28%).

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 Rusk County.
Local HIV snapshot
Rusk County HIV care continuum (2023)
Rusk County recorded 26.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Rusk County residents living with HIV, 81.2% are in care · 65.5% 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 Rusk County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Easton's rhythm runs on shift work, seasonal labor, and trades that demand early starts and long days. People here move fast, and their health needs, including STI screening, fit into that pace. Testing in and around Easton listed on this page reflects that reality: clinics and providers who understand that a visit for confidential screening has to work around a job, not against it. Young adults who make up a real presence in town often have the most reason to get tested regularly, whether they're partnered, dating casually, or simply being practical about their sexual health.
Confidentiality in a smaller place carries weight because people notice patterns. That said, testing facilities serving Easton operate under the same privacy protections as anywhere else: what you discuss with a provider stays with that provider, and results don't flow to employers, family members, or social circles. The structure is there; the assurance is real. Getting screened doesn't require a long explanation or a special appointment type.
Walk in, ask for what you need, and move on. Whether you're looking for rapid results, a full panel, or follow-up care after exposure, the clinics and health services available to Easton residents handle routine screening as straightforward work. No drama, no judgment, no delay.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
