How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Spanish Spoken Directly, Interpretation Beyond That
Spanish is a working language at this location, not a routed service, and interpretation is available for additional non-English languages. That distinction shapes how clinical conversations about symptoms, treatment plans, and prevention options actually happen. In the language a person reasons in, without a relay.
Title X Means Legally Confidential Care for Minors
Title X federal designation gives this clinic the legal framework to provide confidential family planning and STI services to minors, meaning parental disclosure is not required. That protection is a statutory feature of Title X funding, not a policy the clinic can waive or extend at will.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Outside Referral
For anyone without a regular prescribing physician, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas carries both PrEP, the daily medication that prevents HIV acquisition, and PEP as standing clinical offerings. Getting either doesn't require establishing care elsewhere first; the prescribing relationship lives at this clinic.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
Parkland Health operates under a structure where every clinical service (testing, treatment, counseling, and vaccination) is provided at no charge to the patient. That zero-fee baseline is built into the clinic's funding model, not applied selectively by visit type or service category.
Spanish and Interpretation Staffed Into the Visit
Spanish is spoken directly in care at Parkland Health in Dallas, and interpretation services for other languages are coordinated as part of the appointment itself. Meaning the clinical conversation, not just check-in, runs in the patient's language from the provider side.
Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Panel
Parkland Health tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so a single appointment produces a more complete picture and spares patients from scheduling separate specialist visits to fill those gaps.

Healing Hands Ministry Health in Mesquite draws STI care into a faith-based community health setting, pairing a full bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with rapid and conventional HIV testing, all on a sliding scale with no appointment required, and hepatitis C treated on-site.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
For anyone managing hepatitis C without a specialist relationship (or paying out of pocket and needing the medication, not just the result) Healing Hands Ministry Health carries treatment on-site. The diagnosis and the care that follows it belong to the same visit, the same provider, the same place.
Hepatitis B and C Added to the Standard Panel
Walk-in STI testing commonly covers the four bacterial and viral staples and stops there. Healing Hands Ministry Health adds hepatitis B and hepatitis C to the panel, so a single visit surfaces infections that a stripped-down screen would leave undetected.

Prism Health North Texas in Dallas runs on a no-fee model: HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis tests are free, insurance and Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, and a sliding scale covers everything else. Appointments are required; bacterial STIs are treated the same visit.

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
Whether someone is paying cash, lacks a regular provider, or needs ongoing HIV medical treatment and medication counseling, Prism Health North Texas absorbs the cost entirely. No service here generates a bill: testing, treatment, clinical trial enrollment, and PrEP all land at zero dollars regardless of circumstance.
Spanish-Language Care Is Clinical, Not Supplemental
When care at a clinic stops at English, a Spanish-speaking patient faces delayed treatment, missed medication counseling, and gaps in understanding a PrEP regimen or substance abuse referral. At Prism Health North Spanish operates inside the clinical relationship itself, meaning adherence education and treatment decisions happen in the language the clinician and patient share.
Truvada and Descovy Are Managed On-Site
Prism Health North Texas prescribes both daily oral PrEP formulations, Truvada and Descovy, and manages the follow-up HIV and kidney-function monitoring those regimens require. PEP is also available, meaning the clinic holds prevention capacity across both the ongoing and time-sensitive ends of HIV exposure risk.
Hope Clinic of Garland runs STI care on a donation-based, no-fee model, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing with same-visit bacterial treatment available by appointment. Fees scale to what each patient can give, including nothing.
Read full overviewShow less
Hope Clinic of Garland charges nothing for any of its services, testing, treatment, vaccines, all of it. That means a patient can book an appointment, get the full visit, and leave without any financial transaction having happened at all.
Hepatitis B and C Are Tested Alongside the Standard Panel
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Hope Clinic of Garland draws for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C antibodies in the same visit. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also stocked on-site, so a reactive hepatitis B screen can move directly into a conversation about vaccination status and next steps for management.
Texas Specialty Clinic in Dallas takes walk-ins for rapid and conventional HIV testing, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C. No appointment needed. Bacterial infections are treated the same visit, vaccines and PrEP are on-site, and every service runs on a sliding scale with donations accepted.

Every Test and Treatment Carries Zero Cost
Fee schedules, insurance checks, and cost-of-visit calculations are common barriers at clinics that offer 'low-cost' care. Texas Specialty Clinic charges nothing (HIV testing, STI treatment, PrEP, vaccines, hepatitis C testing) every service is provided free, with no sliding-scale floor to reach.
Spanish-Language Care Without the Extra Step
When a clinic can't conduct care in Spanish, a patient navigates a second appointment, a separate referral, or an untreated gap while waiting for access. At Texas Specialty Clinic, Spanish-language care is delivered directly: testing, counseling, and treatment without a detour.
PrEP and PEP Available as Standing Clinical Services
Texas Specialty Clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP as part of its regular care, meaning a patient who qualifies leaves with a concrete prevention plan, not a referral to find one elsewhere.

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.

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 Dallas County tests for syphilis.

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.
