Specialty Care Clinics in Farmers Branch tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit. Fees are charged and insurance is accepted; appointments are required. Spanish-language care is available.
Staff at Specialty Care Clinics conduct visits in Spanish, which means a patient's symptoms, questions, and treatment instructions are discussed with full clinical precision. Not summarized after the fact or filtered through a secondary step.
The panel at Specialty Care Clinics extends beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV to include dedicated hepatitis A and hepatitis B tests, each requiring its own serology, plus TB screening, all drawn and processed through the clinic's own diagnostic workflow.

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV at no charge to anyone who comes in. The full panel, by appointment, with medication adherence counseling available alongside testing.
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV testing all carry a $0 fee at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Not a reduced rate, not income-contingent, but no fee. That applies equally to medication adherence counseling, which means a patient managing an ongoing regimen pays nothing for that support either.
Spanish-language care at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas is staffed into the clinic's own personnel, so HIV test counseling, STI prevention education, and adherence conversations all happen directly in Spanish. Not relayed through a secondary service or scheduled separately.

Woven Health Clinic in Farmers Branch runs on a sliding-scale fee structure, with costs adjusted across income levels, and tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV: appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and HPV and hepatitis B vaccines on site.
Woven Health Clinic staffs Spanish-language care at the provider level: meaning clinical history, symptom discussion, and treatment instructions are conducted directly in Spanish by the clinician, not passed through a separate channel. That staffing choice keeps diagnostic accuracy where it belongs: in the room.
Woven Health adds herpes testing to its gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV panel, which means a single appointment can surface an infection that a shorter panel would leave undetected. For anyone with symptoms or recent exposure concerns, that fifth test closes a gap that would otherwise require a separate visit.

Texas Native Health in Dallas screens for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted; an appointment is required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.
Plenty of clinics cap their standard testing at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Leaving herpes and hepatitis unordered unless you know to ask. Texas Native Health builds herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing into the available panel, so gaps in the workup don't have to be filled somewhere else.
A test result that can't be fully explained, because a language barrier cuts the conversation short, leaves treatment decisions unmade and follow-up care delayed. Texas Native Health provides interpretation services for non-English languages, so the clinical conversation at this Dallas clinic carries the same weight for every patient regardless of the language they use.

UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV on a fee-based, insurance-accepted model with sliding-scale options; appointments are required, bacterial infections are treated same visit, and interpretation services support non-English speakers throughout care.
Herpes screening gets quietly dropped from many STI panels, leaving patients to seek it separately or go without. UT Southwestern includes herpes testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so one appointment covers what others split across multiple visits.
UT Southwestern prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient who qualifies leaves with an actual prevention plan rather than directions to find one elsewhere.
For a patient whose primary language isn't English, interpretation services are available throughout the visit at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas: meaning medical history, test results, and treatment instructions all reach them in the language that carries clinical precision.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Dallas County, the county that includes Irving, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~32% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#6 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 98% of the state
| Infection | Dallas County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 782.9 20,405 cases ▲ 59% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 359.2 9,362 cases ▲ 104% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8.6 223 cases ▼ 43% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 45.8 1,194 cases ▲ 73% | 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 Dallas County, chlamydia has risen from 712.6 to 782.9 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 372.8 to 359.2 per 100,000 (4%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.2 to 8.6 per 100,000 (5%).

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 Dallas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Dallas 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.
Dallas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Dallas County recorded 38.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Dallas County residents living with HIV, 83.6% know their status · 79.1% are in care · 67.5% 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 Dallas County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Las Colinas feels like two cities sharing one zip code: the polished office corridors near the Boy Scouts of America National Museum and, a few blocks over, the dense apartment complexes where most Irving residents actually live. With nearly two-thirds of households renting rather than owning, and typical rents sitting well above what a modest paycheck stretches comfortably, the financial math of the month is never far from mind. That pressure shapes health decisions in quiet but real ways. Irving's workforce participation runs high, meaning most adults here are punching in somewhere, leaving limited midday flexibility for appointments that require long drives on TX 183 or North Belt Line Road.
Households here also tend to be larger than the national average, and nearly half of adults are partnered, which means one person's untreated infection rarely stays contained to one person. Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a substantial share of the population, exactly the years when new relationships form quickly and testing tends to feel least urgent precisely when it matters most. From California Crossing, a quick run along TX 183 can reach several of the nearest listed clinics; pulling up this page before that drive and confirming hours takes about two minutes.
Getting there
Irving scores 12.98/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
