Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel
Without a regular primary care provider, getting herpes or hepatitis tested often means a separate referral chain. Wellness Pointe carries herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing alongside the standard four, so someone without an established doctor can resolve multiple questions in a single scheduled visit.
PrEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Wellness Pointe prescribes and monitors PrEP directly: the clinic handles the baseline HIV and kidney-function testing that starting daily oral PrEP requires, then continues the follow-up labs every three months that keep the prescription active and confirmed effective.
Non-English Care Without Routing Through a Third Party
For someone whose primary language isn't English and who lacks a bilingual personal physician, interpretation services are available at Wellness Pointe, making it possible to work through a full testing visit (exposure history, results, and any same-visit treatment) without a language gap shaping the conversation.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Titus County tests for syphilis.

Along the rural stretches near Winfield Cemetery, Miller's Cove carries a distinctly family-rooted character: four out of five adults here are married, households run large, and health decisions tend to be made as a unit rather than solo. That collective fabric shapes how people think about care: when a test or appointment affects a whole household, the bar for following through tends to rise alongside the logistics. Nearly half of residents here rent at rates that leave little cushion for unexpected medical costs, and with no households in the highest income bracket, out-of-pocket expenses for screening can genuinely compete with other priorities.
For younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who are building relationships and often less likely to seek care without a clear, low-cost path, that distance and cost combination matters most practically. Titus County's STI figures carry weight for a community where family size runs well above average and health decisions ripple outward. Staying current with screening isn't abstract here, it's the kind of thing that protects households that are already tightly knit.

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.
