STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Gray County, the county that includes Pampa, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#138 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 46% of the state
| Infection | Gray County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 277.3 58 cases ▼ 44% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 57.4 12 cases ▼ 67% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.6 2 cases ▼ 36% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 33.5 7 cases ▲ 27% | 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 Gray County, chlamydia has risen from 259.1 to 277.3 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 84.8 to 57.4 per 100,000 (32%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.8 to 9.6 per 100,000 (100%).

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 Gray County.
Local HIV snapshot
Gray County HIV care continuum (2021)
Gray County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Gray County residents living with HIV, 65% are in care · 45% 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 Gray County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The rhythms of work in Pampa (whether in the trades, energy sector, agriculture, or small business) often leave little room for health appointments. Many residents have built lives here across decades, raising families in the same neighborhoods and managing household expenses with care. That stability brings comfort, but it can also mean postponing questions about sexual health until circumstances force the issue. Testing clinics and providers serving Pampa and the surrounding area, listed on this page, understand that rhythm. They offer screening that fits into working schedules and respects the privacy that matters in a town where people stay put.
Young adults moving into their twenties and thirties, a significant presence in Pampa, benefit from routine confidential screening as part of regular health care, not crisis response. Testing happens without judgment and without word spreading through community networks; what you discuss with a provider remains yours alone. The clinics and services available in and around Pampa recognize both the practical constraints of local life and the real need for straightforward sexual health care. Whether you're seeking routine screening, follow-up after a potential exposure, or answers to questions you've carried quietly, testing is accessible and confidential.

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.
