Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 22 reviews

Gateway Community Health Center in Laredo accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and a sliding-scale fee for everyone else, running a panel that reaches beyond the basics to herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: with appointments required and bacterial infections treatable the same visit, in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, and beyond.

Languages That Go Past the Interpreter Line

Clinics with a single spoken language on staff handle everything else through workarounds that slow care and flatten nuance. Gateway Community Health Center delivers directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole (alongside Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) so nothing about your health history gets lost in the relay.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, On Ongoing Terms

Gateway Community Health Center prescribes both PrEP and PEP, which means ongoing prevention, not just a one-time course, stays inside the same clinical relationship, with follow-up labs and refills handled by staff who already know your history.

The Panel Includes Herpes, Hepatitis A, B, and C

Leaving Gateway without a herpes or hepatitis result means chasing those answers somewhere else, new intake, new wait, new bill. Gateway Community Health Center tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C in the same appointment as the core panel, closing the gap before it becomes a second errand.

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.

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 Webb County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Four Points, TX

Four Points sits quietly along the interchange where US 83 meets the reach of I-35: the kind of place that reads as settled and residential from the highway, but where running any errand of consequence means getting in a car and committing to a drive. That's the practical reality for anyone in Talise or elsewhere in this corner of Webb County who decides it's time to get screened. Webb County's STI rates give that reality some weight. Young adults still building relationships and navigating new partners make up a meaningful slice of the population here, and they're the same people for whom a complicated trip, especially one that eats into a workday or requires arranging a ride along TX 255 or down toward the I-35 corridor, is easiest to postpone.

With only one option listed on this page serving the area, there's no redundancy: if the hours don't align or the distance feels like too much on a given week, there's no nearby fallback. Households in Four Points tend toward the kind of stability (two-income families, established routines) that can paradoxically make a single clinical appointment feel more, not less, logistically loaded. Annual screening fits into that structure the same way any other routine healthcare visit does: it gets scheduled, it gets kept, and it's done.

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.
