Andrews County Health Department runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid and Medicare accepted, and every service carries no fee for those who qualify: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB, with STI treatment on the same visit, by appointment.

Read full overview Show less

Every Visit Costs Nothing Here

Andrews County Health Department's zero-fee structure serves anyone paying cash with no regular provider and no coverage to fall back on. Sliding scale and both public insurance programs are accepted, and for those who don't qualify through either, the fee still doesn't apply. The clinic absorbs it.

Spanish-Language Care Without the Second Appointment

When STI counseling, test results, and treatment planning can't be delivered in Spanish at the first visit, the gap that follows (delayed treatment, missed partner notification, confusion about next steps) is where infections persist. Andrews County Health Department conducts care directly in Spanish, so nothing critical waits on a follow-up.

Herpes Testing Added to the Standard Panel

For anyone without a primary care provider who needs a complete picture rather than a partial one, Andrews County Health Department tests for herpes alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. A fuller panel than many public clinics offer, delivered at no fee on a sliding scale.

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.

Local context

About McKinney Acres, TX

Carter Park sits at the kind of quiet center that makes McKinney Acres feel like a place people put down roots, and the numbers bear that out, with the overwhelming majority of residents owning their homes, many of them raising households larger than the Texas average. Workforce schedules add another layer. With a meaningful share of adults outside the labor force and unemployment relatively low among those who are working, many residents are either juggling full shift schedules or managing household demands that leave little slack in the week.

Southside Heights and Lively are the kinds of neighborhoods where a mid-morning appointment is easier for some than others. Cost tends to decide things for residents who don't fall neatly into covered categories. With typical rents well below statewide norms, the community skews toward ownership, but the nearly three in ten households earning above six figures coexist with many earning considerably less, and sliding-scale fees at the listed option can be the practical difference for someone in that middle bracket whose employer plan carries a high deductible.

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.
