Health Services of North Texas in Denton pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with testing across a sliding-scale fee structure that extends to Medicaid and Medicare; appointments are required, and care is available in Spanish.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Health Services of North Texas runs herpes testing, a serological or swab-based workup depending on presentation, within the same appointment, meaning clinicians can act on a broader picture before you leave the building.
Leaving Denton without a PrEP prescription, because the clinic you visited doesn't prescribe it, means another appointment, another wait, and a gap in protection. Health Services of North Texas carries PrEP and PEP on-site, so the prescription and any follow-up monitoring happen in one place.
Health Services of North Texas delivers care in Spanish, which means the clinical exchange (symptoms, history, treatment instructions) happens in the language a patient uses to describe how they actually feel, reducing the chance that something important gets lost before it can be addressed.

For anyone paying out of pocket (no employer coverage, no regular provider, no safety net) the math here is straightforward: every service the clinic offers carries no charge. Testing, treatment, and vaccines are all included, with no portion left as a balance.
Plenty of clinics handle Spanish-speaking patients through improvised solutions that keep the clinical conversation at arm's length. Denton County Health Department delivers care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and prevention happens in full. Not filtered.
The routine panel at many STI clinics covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, and stops there. Denton County Health Department adds herpes to its testing menu, making it one of the few public-health options where you don't have to seek that test separately.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Denton County, the county that includes Oak Point, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~32% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#122 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 52% of the state
| Infection | Denton County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 304.2 3,065 cases ▼ 38% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 105.2 1,060 cases ▼ 40% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 1.4 14 cases ▼ 91% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.7 98 cases ▼ 63% | 26.4 | 16 |

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 Denton County, chlamydia has risen from 234.1 to 304.2 per 100,000 (30%), gonorrhea has risen from 93 to 105.2 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.2 to 1.4 per 100,000 (67%).

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 Denton County.
Local HIV snapshot
Denton County HIV care continuum (2023)
Denton County recorded 11.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Denton County residents living with HIV, 82.9% are in care · 73.8% 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 Denton County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
West Eldorado Parkway rolls east past the turnoff for Ray Roberts Lake State Park - Greenbelt Corridor, and by the time you've cleared the last traffic light, you're already five or ten minutes into a clinic run. That drive is worth understanding in context. Oak Point skews heavily toward established households: the majority of adults here are married, families run larger than the national norm, and nearly nine in ten residents own their homes. That stability shapes how people think about healthcare: routine and preventive, something handled between school pickups and work schedules rather than on a spontaneous Tuesday.
But a substantial share of the population is in their late teens, twenties, and early thirties, years when new relationships overlap with the least consistent testing habits, and even in a community with low unemployment and a strong share of high-earning households, a $1,700-plus monthly rent for those who do rent leaves little room for health costs to feel optional. The clinics listed on this page cover a range of hours and fee structures specifically because a single evening appointment model wouldn't serve Oak Point's working households. Knowing which location fits your commute home along FM 720 is the detail that turns intent into action.
Getting there
At 7.17/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Oak Point generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
