No Bill Arrives After Any Visit
A co-pay that derails follow-through, a cost that turns a positive result into a postponed treatment. At Texas Department of State Health Services in Temple, neither scenario applies. Testing, treatment, vaccines, and DoxyPEP counseling are all provided without a fee, so the care doesn't stall at the door.
Spanish-Language Care Beyond a Phone Patch
Many clinics route Spanish-speaking patients through remote interpretation that fragments the conversation. At Texas Department of State Health Services in Temple, Spanish is a direct service language: meaning the clinical exchange, counseling, and prevention education happen without a relay in the middle.
DoxyPEP Is on the Formulary Here
Doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (the bacterial STI prevention protocol taken after potential exposure to syphilis, gonorrhea, or chlamydia) is a named service at Texas Department of State Health Services in Temple, not something requiring a separate prescription visit elsewhere. That means the prevention conversation and the medication pathway stay in the same clinical encounter.
Waco Family Medicine – Temple Downtown, in Temple, carries federal qualification as a community health center, which means STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) is billed on a sliding scale tied to income, keeping costs proportionate for patients across a wide range of financial situations.
Lone Star Circle of Care in Georgetown requires an appointment, so visits are purposeful: one scheduled slot covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing, plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, PrEP, and vaccines: fees slide by income, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted.

Hepatitis Workup Built Into Every Appointment
Lone Star Circle of Care runs hepatitis A, B, and C tests alongside the standard bacterial panel, with hepatitis A and B vaccination available at the same visit. The ordering, drawing, and vaccination all happen within the clinic's own workflow. No separate referral to a lab or infectious disease office.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, Not Coordinated Elsewhere
Without a clinic that prescribes and monitors PrEP in-house, a patient often leaves with paperwork and waits weeks for a separate infectious disease or primary care appointment to even begin the conversation. Lone Star Circle of Care in Georgetown writes PrEP and PEP prescriptions and handles the follow-up monitoring directly, the prevention gap closes at this practice.
Spanish-Language Care Staffed, Not Patched Together
Spanish-language care at Lone Star Circle of Care in Georgetown is staffed at the clinical level: meaning symptoms are described, treatment instructions are given, and follow-up questions are answered in Spanish by the people actually running the visit, not routed through an external service mid-appointment.

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.

Among Bell County residents living with HIV, 77.3% are in care · 64% are virally suppressed.

Pregnant or planning to be?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 Bell County tests for syphilis.

Killeen skews toward renters: a majority of households here don't own their homes, and that profile tells you something real about who's navigating life in this city. Renting often means shorter stays, less settled routines, and budgets stretched thin enough that an unexpected medical bill lands hard. Pair that with an unemployment rate that leaves a meaningful share of adults without steady paychecks or employer-sponsored coverage, and the case for affordable, accessible screening becomes less abstract. The testing options listed on this page exist precisely because cost and scheduling can determine whether someone actually follows through. Larger households and a high share of younger adults (people in their late teens and twenties forming relationships, often moving frequently along corridors like South Fort Hood Street or East Veterans Memorial Boulevard) make routine STI screening genuinely practical rather than precautionary.
That age group sees the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea nationally, and Bell County's own figures reflect that reality. When a car is non-negotiable for nearly every errand in a spread-out city like Killeen, evening or weekend hours aren't a convenience. They're the difference between a clinic visit fitting into a shift-work schedule or disappearing from the week entirely. The clinics on this page vary in cost, distance, and hours, so comparing them before you go means you're already past the hardest part.

Confidentiality & consent in TexasMinor 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.
