How reported STI rates in Marion County, the county that includes Jefferson, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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 Marion County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Jefferson, TX

East Broadway Street runs through Jefferson like a quiet inventory of what the town actually is: a place where just over half of households are homeowners, nearly half rent at rates well below the national average, and families tend to be larger than the Texas norm. With nearly half of adults married and average households stretching across three people, health decisions here rarely get made in isolation. A screening appointment isn't just a personal errand; it's something that competes with childcare logistics, shared vehicles, and the schedules of everyone under the same roof.

That household reality intersects with a workforce picture worth understanding: labor-force participation in Jefferson sits below the majority of comparably sized Texas towns, and for those who are working, driving out along US 59 or TX 49 to reach the options listed on this page means carving time out of a workday that may already run lean. Marion County's STI figures reflect patterns common to rural East Texas counties, and for someone living along Saint John Street or near the old Confederate Civil War Meat Packing Plant, staying current on screening is simply how those county-level numbers stay honest over time.

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.
