Fees & payment
Methodist Physicians in San Antonio accepts insurance and Medicare alongside a standard fee structure, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, with appointments required and care delivered in German and Spanish.
Both German and Spanish are operational languages at Methodist Physicians: meaning providers conduct history-taking, medication counseling, and adherence education in those languages as a staffed clinical function. That direct fluency shapes how TB treatment plans and STI care are explained and monitored over time.
Methodist Physicians holds standing capability to prescribe both PrEP and PEP, useful for anyone without a regular primary care provider who needs HIV prevention medication managed through a single clinic. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, including the required HIV and kidney-function testing, is handled within the same practice.
The panel at Methodist Physicians runs to seven pathogens: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. With on-site treatment for hepatitis C rather than a separate referral pathway. That breadth means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower four-pathogen screen would leave undetected.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Bexar County, the county that includes Hollywood Park, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#74 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 71% of the state
| Infection | Bexar County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 399.2 8,333 cases ▼ 19% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 165.7 3,459 cases ▼ 6% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.4 384 cases ▲ 23% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 40.4 844 cases ▲ 53% | 26.4 | 16 |

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 Bexar County, chlamydia has fallen from 594.7 to 399.2 per 100,000 (33%), gonorrhea has fallen from 259.5 to 165.7 per 100,000 (36%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 16.9 to 18.4 per 100,000 (9%).

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 Bexar County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Bexar 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.
Bexar County HIV care continuum (2023)
Bexar County recorded 22.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Bexar County residents living with HIV, 82.9% know their status · 77.4% are in care · 67.6% 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 Bexar County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Stone Oak has grown into a neighborhood where families settle for decades, and that stability means health decisions often stay private. A value that shapes how people approach STI testing here. Young adults moving into Hollywood Park or establishing themselves in the area may not yet know the clinics and testing venues listed on this page; what matters most is finding a place where confidentiality is genuinely protected, not just promised. Testing providers in and around Hollywood Park understand that residents expect discretion alongside professionalism, and that expectation is met.
The community's character (rooted households, families planning ahead) creates a particular need for straightforward, judgment-free screening. Someone in their twenties or thirties living here might be managing a new relationship, switching partners, or simply keeping up with routine sexual health care. Clinics accessible from this area offer that kind of testing without fanfare or unnecessary explanation. Hollywood Park residents who seek testing will find that providers in and around town take the same care with confidentiality as they do with accuracy.
Results don't flow to employers, schools, or neighbors. The testing itself is brief, results come quickly, and follow-up care, if needed, stays between you and your provider. That combination of privacy, speed, and competence is what matters when health information feels personal.
Getting there

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.
