HealthPoint in Madisonville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee structure accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance.

Herpes and Hepatitis Don't Need a Second Stop

Tracking down separate appointments for herpes or hepatitis testing, and paying twice, is the gap HealthPoint closes. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV come standard, but so do herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, resolved in one visit rather than scattered across providers.

PrEP Is Prescribed and Managed On-Site

HealthPoint prescribes and manages PrEP, daily oral tenofovir-based therapy that reduces HIV acquisition risk, directly, meaning the monitoring labs, refills, and clinical oversight stay with the same provider. PEP is also available for post-exposure prevention when the timing still allows for it.

Spanish-Language Care for the Full Clinical Visit

For someone whose primary language is Spanish and who has no regular English-speaking provider, HealthPoint delivers the clinical encounter (history, results, treatment decisions, and PrEP counseling) directly in Spanish, so nothing critical depends on translation after the fact.

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.

About Midway, TX

Along TX 21, past Midway Church of Christ and the quiet marker at the Site of Trinidad, daily life here moves at a pace shaped by distance rather than density, and getting screened for STIs is no different. That planning burden lands unevenly. With more than four in five households owning their homes and a majority of adults in married-couple arrangements, Midway has real roots, but rootedness doesn't mean everyone's schedule is flexible. Larger average households mean childcare logistics; a home value well under six figures suggests cost-consciousness shapes healthcare decisions too, and the modest share of households clearing six-figure incomes means out-of-pocket fees register.

Young adults in their late teens and twenties (the years when new partners, new living situations, and routine gaps in care converge) can find that cost and distance together are enough to make testing feel optional rather than obvious. Nearly four in ten working-age residents sit outside the labor force entirely, while those who are employed often hold hours that make weekday appointments genuinely hard to keep. Several of the options listed here offer evening or weekend availability, which is less a convenience than a practical requirement for anyone driving in from along TX 21.

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.
