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 Erath County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Huckabay, TX

TX 108 cuts through Huckabay the way a main street might in a larger place: except here, most of the households it connects are owner-occupied, rooted, and built around families. With the majority of adults married and an average household size that reflects real family units rather than solo arrangements, health decisions in Huckabay tend to get made collectively, often quietly, around kitchen tables rather than in clinical waiting rooms. That family-centered stability shapes who seeks screening and when. A meaningful share of households here earn well into six figures, yet a significant portion of the labor force is also carrying the weight of unemployment.

A gap that makes cost and convenience genuinely variable depending on who you're asking. For young adults in their late teens and twenties, that variability matters most: this is the window when people are forming relationships and when routine screening does the clearest work, yet the single option listed on this page means there's no nearby alternative if the timing or logistics don't line up. Erath County's STI figures reflect a real local pattern, and for someone living year-round in Huckabay (settled, working, connected to this stretch of central Texas) staying current means knowing those county trends aren't abstract.

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.
