East Texas Community Clinic in Gun Barrel City welcomes walk-ins for STI screening under its federally qualified health center designation, pairing that with an NHSC sliding-fee scale tied to income.

Carevide in Kaufman tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee that accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, and appointments are required.
Many clinics route non-English speakers through an off-site line, which means a stranger on a speakerphone mediating a conversation about sexual health. At Carevide, Spanish is spoken by staff, and interpretation for other languages is handled on-site, so the conversation stays in the room.
Carevide's standing panel covers herpes and both hepatitis B and C in addition to the bacterial four, a meaningful capability for anyone without a regular primary-care provider who needs a single appointment to account for a wider range of exposures. Hepatitis B vaccination is also available on-site.

Integrity Urgent Care in Kaufman schedules STI visits by appointment, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis B and C, with bacterial infections treated the same day; fees are billed to Medicare or insurance, otherwise paid directly, and care is available in Spanish.
Plenty of testing sites run only gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Leaving herpes and hepatitis for a separate visit somewhere else. Integrity Urgent Care tests for herpes simplex alongside hepatitis B and C in the same appointment, so a fuller picture of exposure comes back without splitting the workup across providers.
Many urgent-care clinics manage Spanish by patching in outside assistance rather than providing it directly. At Integrity Urgent Care in Kaufman, Spanish is offered as part of the clinic's own care: meaning the conversation about symptoms, results, and treatment happens in Spanish without relay.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Kaufman County, the county that includes Mabank, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#59 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 77% of the state
| Infection | Kaufman County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 421.1 782 cases ▼ 14% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 140 260 cases ▼ 21% | 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 Kaufman County, chlamydia has risen from 342.7 to 421.1 per 100,000 (23%), gonorrhea has risen from 132.8 to 140 per 100,000 (5%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.8 to 5.4 per 100,000 (13%).

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 Kaufman County.
Local HIV snapshot
Kaufman County HIV care continuum (2023)
Kaufman County recorded 15.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Kaufman County residents living with HIV, 83.6% are in care · 72.8% 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 Kaufman County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 175 stretches east out of Mabank toward the clinics listed on this page, and for many residents that drive is the first real hurdle: carving out a weekday morning when nearly two in three working-age adults are in the labor force and unemployment is running unusually high, meaning those who do have jobs often work unpredictable or inflexible hours. Rent here sits well below state-average figures in larger Texas metros, which helps households breathe a little, but with fewer than one in seven households earning six figures, an unexpected fee still gives people pause before they book an appointment.
That cost hesitation lands hardest on the young adults in Mabank, people in their late teens and twenties who make up a substantial share of the local population and who see the steepest STI rates nationally during those years precisely because relationship patterns are in flux and routine screening hasn't yet become a habit. The options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost visits that address that hesitation directly, and knowing that in advance changes the calculation.
Mabank's household profile adds another layer of context: average households here are larger than the Texas norm, and married adults account for a solid but not dominant share of that picture, meaning plenty of households include single adults, unmarried partners, or young adults still living at home, people for whom a straightforward, affordable test is simply a practical part of adult life.
Getting there
At 4.04/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Mabank 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.
