Zero Cost, Start to Finish at Bethesda

When a fee stands between someone and follow-through, an STI goes untreated and a hepatitis infection goes unconfirmed. Bethesda Health Clinic eliminates that gap entirely, every test, every vaccine, every treatment visit carries no charge, no balance, no donation required to be seen.

Hepatitis B and C Tested Here, Not Later

Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected means a second appointment somewhere else, more time, more cost, more chance of not following through. Bethesda tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel, so one appointment surfaces the full picture.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Added to the Core Panel

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 Wood County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Hawkins, TX

US 80 cuts straight through Hawkins as Front Street, and the younger adults who rent here, about three in ten households, are navigating that life stage on $875 a month in a county where Wood County's STI figures give real pause. Those rents aren't punishing by Texas standards, but when unemployment runs as high as it does locally, a co-pay or an afternoon off work can quietly become the thing that delays a routine test by weeks or months. Household life in Hawkins leans toward larger, multigenerational arrangements: the average home holds more than three people, and fewer than four in ten adults are married, meaning a meaningful share of residents are in the relationship-forming years when regular screening matters most.

People in their late teens and twenties who are dating, changing partners, or simply establishing their health routines deserve options that don't require a half-day commitment to reach. For someone working irregular hours or sharing a single car among a larger household, that drive is the practical calculation, which is why scanning the hours and distance columns on this page first, before anything else, is the most useful move a Hawkins resident can make.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Hawkins often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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.
