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 Walker County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About New Waverly, TX

Cunningham sits quietly off the main corridors of New Waverly, where most households run on a single income and roughly half the town rents rather than owns. A budget reality that shapes every discretionary decision, including health care. With typical rents near $790 a month and unemployment running well above the national norm, the calculus around anything that costs time or money gets tight fast. That pressure falls hardest on younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who are statistically most likely to need STI screening and least likely to have the schedule flexibility or financial cushion to pursue it proactively.

For the nearly half of residents who rent and the significant share of working-age adults outside the labor force, that drive competes with shift work, childcare, and transportation access. FM 1375 and TX 150 eventually connect to larger service centers, but the round trip demands planning, not just intention. The options listed on this page include clinics reachable from New Waverly by car, and several offer sliding-scale fees worth confirming before you go. Before your next errand run down State Highway 75 South, checking which site fits your schedule and budget is the practical first move.

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.
