Tests offered
Texas Department of State Health Services in Marble Falls brings the credibility of a state public-health agency to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and conventional HIV testing: all on a sliding-scale fee, by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and Spanish-language care available throughout.
Spanish speakers without a regular primary-care provider get something rarer than a bilingual front desk: clinical staff who conduct the exam, explain results, and walk through a treatment plan entirely in Spanish. That continuity, from intake to prescription, is built into how the clinic operates, not added on.
DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after potential bacterial STI exposure, is prescribed directly by the clinic's providers, who determine appropriate candidates through clinical assessment and coordinate follow-up testing to monitor effectiveness. The prescription doesn't require a separate physician visit or an outside referral to initiate.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Llano County, the county that includes Llano, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#201 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 21% of the state
| Infection | Llano County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 188 43 cases ▼ 62% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 30.6 7 cases ▼ 83% | 176.4 | 179.5 |

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 Llano County, chlamydia has fallen from 277.7 to 188 per 100,000 (32%), gonorrhea has fallen from 61.2 to 30.6 per 100,000 (50%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.7 to 13.1 per 100,000 (179%).

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 Llano County.
Local HIV snapshot
Llano County HIV care continuum (2022)
Llano County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Llano County residents living with HIV, 94.1% are in care · 91.2% 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 Llano County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
The Lantex Theater end of town draws a mix of longtime homeowners and a substantial share of renters, many of them younger adults in their late teens and twenties who make up a meaningful slice of Llano's population. With just over half of residents in the labor force and unemployment running higher than the state's larger metros, the working week here rarely follows a predictable shape: shifts vary, second jobs are common, and a $750 monthly rent leaves little slack for appointments that feel optional. That cost pressure matters because young adults forming new relationships are precisely the people for whom routine STI screening makes the most practical difference, and also the ones most likely to defer it when the logistics feel complicated.
Llano's household sizes run large on average, which means many of those renters near Ford Street or along West Young Street are sharing space and budgets, not just addresses. With only about one in eight households clearing six figures, an out-of-pocket testing bill is a real calculation, not an afterthought. Whether someone is coming in off TX 29 after a long shift or stepping away mid-morning from somewhere closer to Bessemer Avenue, that spread of choices means a workable appointment is far more likely to exist than if the list stopped at one or two.
Getting there
At 6.16/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Llano generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
