Pride Family Medicine in Cedar Park screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV on a fee-based structure that accepts Medicare and most insurance, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.

Pride Family Medicine in Cedar Park prescribes and manages PrEP and PEP as part of its regular care, which means patients can establish continuous HIV prevention alongside their other health needs rather than juggling separate providers.
Pride Family Medicine in Cedar Park runs herpes testing as part of its STI panel: a standing capability that serves anyone without a regular provider who wants a thorough picture, or anyone paying out of pocket who needs results that actually answer the question they came in with.

Baylor Scott & White Health in Austin requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a fee-based model with Medicare and insurance accepted; bacterial infections are treated the same visit, and PrEP is available on-site.
Many testing-only clinics leave prevention management to a separate provider. Baylor Scott & White Health in Austin writes and manages both PrEP and PEP in the same clinical setting where testing happens, so prevention and care stay with one team rather than splitting across appointments.
When hepatitis C is detected at Baylor Scott & White Health in Austin, the clinic's own providers prescribe direct-acting antivirals and carry the monitoring through to clearance: meaning lab follow-up, dosing adjustments, and sustained virologic response checks are managed by the same clinical staff who ran the initial test.
The panel at Baylor Scott & White Health in Austin includes herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the four core STIs, which means a single visit can surface infections that would otherwise go undetected until symptoms appeared or a separate specialist ordered additional labs.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Williamson County, the county that includes Liberty Hill, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#115 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 55% of the state
| Infection | Williamson County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 319.3 2,226 cases ▼ 35% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 111.9 780 cases ▼ 37% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.6 53 cases ▼ 49% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.6 39 cases ▼ 79% | 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 Williamson County, chlamydia has risen from 308 to 319.3 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 102.6 to 111.9 per 100,000 (9%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.1 to 7.6 per 100,000 (7%).

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 Williamson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Williamson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Williamson County recorded 6.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Williamson County residents living with HIV, 82.9% are in care · 73.8% 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 Williamson County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
People move to Liberty Hill for the land itself, acreage that lets a family breathe, a house they can actually afford to own outright, the kind of permanence that comes with roots. That means young adults here are often building alongside their parents or grandparents, raising kids of their own, or starting over after a move. Routine STI screening fits naturally into that life, a straightforward health step that doesn't require a trip into the city or a wait list months long. Testing in and around Liberty Hill stays between you and the clinic.
Confidentiality isn't negotiable in a town where people recognize faces at Foundation Park or the sculpture walks, it's simply how medical visits work. Whether you're checking in before a relationship gets serious, after a partner disclosure, or as part of regular wellness, the process moves quickly and without ceremony. Results arrive privately, and no one else needs to know you came in. The clinics and providers listed on this page understand that affordability matters here.
Many offer sliding-scale fees, accept multiple insurance plans, or work with uninsured patients directly. Summerlyn and the areas around TX 29 have local access; if you need more options, the county seat isn't far. The goal is simple: get tested, get answers, move forward without delay or shame.

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.
