Every service at Mercy Clinic (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) carries no charge. That means the decision to come in, and the decision to come back, never has to clear a financial hurdle first.
Mercy Clinic tests for hepatitis B and C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, which means a single appointment can produce a fuller picture of liver-affecting infections alongside the core STI results.

HELP Center in Fort Worth runs on rapid HIV and syphilis testing by appointment, with HIV test counseling built into every visit: all at no charge, no donations required, and with PrEP available for those who need it.
HELP Center absorbs the full cost of rapid HIV testing, syphilis screening, HIV test counseling, prevention education, condoms, and PrEP for uninsured patients: none of it is contingent on a donation, insurance card, or income verification. The funding model is structured so that the price at the door is zero, every time.
For someone paying cash and without an established prescriber, HELP Center's standing PrEP and PEP services close that gap directly. The clinic prescribes and supports both medications on-site, making ongoing HIV prevention accessible without needing to first secure a primary care relationship elsewhere.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Fort Worth runs on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and both rapid and conventional HIV testing. Bacterial infections treated same visit, by appointment.
Spanish is a working clinical language here, and interpretation services extend that reach to additional languages. That operational capacity means medical history, treatment options, and prevention counseling (PrEP, PEP, HPV vaccine timing) are conveyed directly, without a relay.
Title X federal designation carries a concrete legal consequence: services for minors are confidential by statute, not by policy preference. That protection applies across the full scope of care (testing, treatment, family planning, and prevention) at this Fort Worth location.
Clinics that test for HIV frequently stop there, leaving prevention prescriptions to primary care or infectious disease practices that may have long waits. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, keeping prevention continuous rather than deferred.

JPS Health Network in Fort Worth accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with fees scaled to what patients can manage. Appointments are required for the standard panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and conventional HIV) with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Ryan White funding at JPS anchors HIV services well past the test result, the same network that confirms a diagnosis carries patients forward into managed, ongoing care. That continuity means treatment isn't a separate errand; it lives within the same clinical relationship.
PrEP, typically tenofovir-based daily oral medication requiring HIV testing and kidney-function monitoring every three months, is prescribed and managed directly at JPS Health Network in Fort Worth. Keeping that monitoring cycle in-house means lapses between prescription renewals don't accumulate into gaps in protection.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tarrant County, the county that includes Edgecliff Village, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#38 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 85% of the state
| Infection | Tarrant County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 507.1 11,069 cases ▲ 3% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 205.9 4,494 cases ▲ 17% | 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 Tarrant County, chlamydia has risen from 401.1 to 507.1 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has risen from 191.8 to 205.9 per 100,000 (7%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 12.9 to 15.1 per 100,000 (17%).

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 Tarrant County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Tarrant County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Tarrant County HIV care continuum (2023)
Tarrant County recorded 18.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Tarrant County residents living with HIV, 78.6% know their status · 81.7% are in care · 71.6% 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 Tarrant County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Winter fog rolls off the bluffs and settles into Edgecliff Village's tree-lined streets, where many households span generations under one roof and neighbors tend toward staying put. That stability, the sense of belonging somewhere long-term, makes routine STI screening easy to overlook, yet it's precisely the kind of quiet health step that fits seamlessly into ordinary life. Testing in and around Edgecliff Village listed on this page can happen without fanfare or announcement, just as part of staying well. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties often find themselves managing health decisions alongside family obligations, work schedules, and the rhythms of established community life. Confidential screening removes one barrier: results remain between you and the clinic, with no cascade of assumptions or sideways glances.
That separation of your test from anyone else's knowledge is built into how these services work here. Access to testing doesn't require a long drive or a trip to an unfamiliar neighborhood. Whether you're near Westcreek Park, closer to I 35W, or settled deeper into the Village's residential heart, clinics and providers operate with the same commitment to discretion that residents in long-rooted communities expect. A single conversation with a provider can clarify what screening makes sense for your situation, nothing more, nothing less.

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.
