CommUnityCare Mays Crossing in Round Rock meets patients who are paying cash, between insurance plans, or working with limited income by anchoring STI care inside a federally qualified health center.

NS3 Health in Austin tests for HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia on a sliding-scale fee structure, with free HIV and hepatitis C testing available; appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.
NS3 Health absorbs the cost of testing, treatment, prevention counseling, and medication adherence support through a fully funded model. Meaning the billing process at every step of care, from the rapid HIV test to hepatitis B treatment, is set to zero. No service is carved out.
Leaving NS3 Health with only a PrEP prescription means bacterial STI exposure after a condom failure goes unaddressed until the next appointment. NS3 Health prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from the same clinical relationship, so bacterial post-exposure coverage doesn't require a separate provider or a second visit.
NS3 Health provides on-site hepatitis C treatment, not just the confirmatory test, which means a positive result leads directly into a treatment relationship at the same clinic, keeping a curable infection from stalling in the gap between diagnosis and a specialist's availability.

Williamson County and Cities Health District in Round Rock requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB testing in a single visit: with bacterial STIs treated the same day, vaccines administered on-site, and all services provided at no fee.
When cost is a factor, a deferred test becomes an untreated infection, and an untreated infection compounds. At Williamson County and Cities Health District, no service carries a charge: testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, and DoxyPEP all land at zero, eliminating the point where cost typically stalls care.
Many clinics field non-English speakers with ad hoc solutions that leave the clinical conversation thin. Williamson County and Cities Health District provides Spanish-language services directly and interpretation access across other languages, so the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and prevention happens fully. Not in fragments.
Williamson County and Cities Health District offers PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP together, meaning a patient's prevention strategy can be adjusted or layered in a single appointment rather than spread across multiple providers.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Travis County, the county that includes Pflugerville, 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.
#9 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 96% of the state
| Infection | Travis County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 681.7 9,100 cases ▲ 39% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 347.9 4,644 cases ▲ 97% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 29.8 398 cases ▲ 99% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 33 440 cases ▲ 25% | 26.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 49.7 663 cases ▲ 12% | 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 Travis County, chlamydia has risen from 614.3 to 681.7 per 100,000 (11%), gonorrhea has risen from 316.8 to 347.9 per 100,000 (10%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 20.5 to 29.8 per 100,000 (45%).

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 Travis County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Travis County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Travis County HIV care continuum (2023)
Travis County recorded 18.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Travis County residents living with HIV, 86.7% know their status · 84% are in care · 72.1% 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 Travis County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Swenson Farms on a weekday morning has a specific rhythm: driveways emptying early, a high share of households heading to work, and the kind of packed family schedules that make a midday errand feel like a genuine negotiation. Pflugerville runs that way broadly, with most adults in the labor force, households averaging more than three people, and nearly three in four residents owning their homes. That stability is real, but it also means calendars fill fast, and a screening appointment can drift for months when nothing feels urgent. That drift matters most for people in their late teens and twenties, a group well represented here and the same one where chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis cases concentrate statewide.
Travis County's STI numbers reflect exactly that pattern. Many of those younger adults live closer to Old Town or Meadow Park, areas where renting is more common and rent at Pflugerville's typical level already claims a meaningful slice of take-home pay, making cost-sensitive, sliding-scale options worth checking before you book. Getting to a clinic means driving, whether you take FM 685 north through the newer subdivisions or merge onto TX 130 toward options in the broader Austin corridor.
Getting there
Pflugerville scores 10.73/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
