Syphilis in Collin County runs about 60% lower than the US average. Whether you're in Murphy, Texas getting your first STI test or a routine screening, you have options. Some places accommodate walk-ins for same-day testing, while labs and at-home kits can fit your schedule.
Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Murphy, TX. The nearest, Quest Diagnostics, is about 0.6 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Texas Infectious Disease Institute in Richardson tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and all three hepatitis strains, and treats bacterial STIs at the same appointment. Fees run on a sliding scale, with insurance and Medicaid accepted. Care is available in French and Spanish.
Plenty of clinics will run a hepatitis C antibody test and leave patients to find a specialist for what comes next. Texas Infectious Disease Institute closes that gap, antiviral treatment for hepatitis C is managed on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a care plan without a separate provider search.
PrEP at Texas Infectious Disease Institute means a prescription for daily oral medication alongside the regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring the regimen requires. PEP is similarly prescribed and followed here. Both are available to uninsured patients through sliding-scale fees, keeping the clinical relationship, not just the initial script, intact.
When a clinic can't conduct a visit in a patient's language, the workaround costs time and sometimes accuracy. A misread symptom, a misunderstood dosing schedule, a follow-up that doesn't happen. Texas Infectious Disease Institute holds clinical conversations directly in French and Spanish, so nothing in a care plan gets filtered through an intermediary.

Julias Center for Healthcare in Plano runs its full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, conventional HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB) with appointments required and a fee structure that accepts donations, scales to income, or waives cost entirely.
The no-fee structure at Julias Center for Healthcare isn't a waiver applied after a means test: it's the baseline rate for every service on the menu, from the initial panel to STI treatment and vaccines. Staff deliver care against that same price floor regardless of what brought someone in.
Julias Center for Healthcare tests for hepatitis B and C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning a single visit can surface a hepatitis infection that would otherwise go undetected until it showed up in a separate workup somewhere else.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Plano runs the full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and both conventional and rapid HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and appointments required. Spanish and interpretation services are available throughout.
For anyone navigating a health concern in Spanish or another non-English language, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas staffs Spanish-language care and arranges interpretation so that clinical conversations (test results, treatment options, PrEP eligibility) happen without a language gap standing between the patient and a clear answer.
Without Title X coverage, a minor seeking STI testing can face a billing trail that surfaces on a parent's insurance, or no care at all. As a Title X family planning site, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Plano provides legally confidential services for minors, so the care doesn't hinge on a permission structure that forecloses the visit.
PrEP at this clinic means ongoing prescribing and the follow-up HIV and kidney-function monitoring that daily Truvada or Descovy requires to remain safe and effective; PEP is available for post-exposure situations with clinical oversight built into the regimen, both managed by the same staff handling the broader STI panel.

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.
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.
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.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Collin County, the county that includes Murphy, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#154 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 39% of the state
| Infection | Collin County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 256.8 3,070 cases ▼ 48% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 86.3 1,032 cases ▼ 51% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 6.3 75 cases ▼ 58% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16.3 195 cases ▼ 38% | 26.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8.4 100 cases ▼ 81% | 44.3 | 29.5 |

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 Collin County, chlamydia has risen from 221.5 to 256.8 per 100,000 (16%), gonorrhea has risen from 76.8 to 86.3 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.1 to 6.3 per 100,000 (200%).

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 Collin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Collin County HIV care continuum (2023)
Collin County recorded 10.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Collin County residents living with HIV, 79.9% are in care · 70.5% 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 Collin County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
FM 544 cuts through the heart of Murphy connecting the Parker and Sachse corridors where most of the city's younger adults live, people navigating new relationships, early careers, or expanding families inside households that skew large and mostly owner-occupied. That settled, rooted quality shapes daily life here in ways worth understanding when it comes to sexual health: when nearly two-thirds of adults are married and the average household runs close to four people, routine screening tends to feel like something the schedule will eventually make room for rather than something that requires a plan.
The economic picture reinforces that delay. With most households clearing six figures and a high share carrying mortgages on homes in the mid-three-hundreds, financial pressure is not the primary barrier to getting tested in Murphy. The bigger friction is logistical. A workforce participation rate pushing past two-thirds means most adults are working full weeks, and the options listed on this page require a deliberate drive rather than a spontaneous stop on the way home.
That drive reality matters most for young adults in their late teens and twenties, the portion of Murphy's population whose life stage puts them at the highest statistical risk for STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Collin County's STI data reflects that pattern clearly. Checking the listed options for evening or weekend availability before heading out on FM 544 or East Plano Parkway is the single most useful step toward making that appointment something that actually lands on the calendar.

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.
