How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Spanish-Language Care, Start Through Treatment
When a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prevention conversation has to travel through a second language, details get dropped and follow-through suffers. At Health Services of North Spanish is a care language, used from the first test through any ongoing treatment, so nothing critical gets lost in translation.
Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care Continuously
Health Services of North Texas carries Ryan White Program funding, which means HIV care doesn't stop at a diagnosis. It extends into ongoing medical treatment, keeping patients connected to the same clinic rather than fragmenting care across providers.
Truvada and Descovy Available for PrEP Prescribing
Both PrEP, including branded options like Truvada and Descovy, and PEP are prescribed directly at Health Services of North which means the monitoring labs and prescription renewals that keep a PrEP regimen current happen at the same site as testing.

Urgent Care of Texas in Plano accepts Medicaid and private insurance, with standard fees applying to those paying out of pocket: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and conventional HIV testing alongside treatment, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines, and PrEP, with no appointment required.
Women's Health Center of Plano welcomes patients whether they carry insurance, pay cash, or are navigating gaps in coverage. Federal qualification means fees follow a sliding scale tied to income. Screening covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with no appointment needed to get started.
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.

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price
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.
Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Core Panel
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.
Children's Health in Plano requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV testing in one visit, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and STI care delivered in Spanish.
Read full overviewShow less
Herpes Testing Sits Inside the Standard Panel
Children's Health runs herpes testing alongside the core four (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) within a single appointment. That means one blood draw or swab session covers both ulcerative and non-ulcerative infections rather than splitting them across separate orders or visits.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Children's Health in Plano carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services, meaning ongoing HIV prevention, whether daily pre-exposure medication or a post-exposure course, is prescribed and overseen here. For anyone without a regular HIV-focused provider, that continuity of prescribing and adherence counseling lives in one place.
Clinical Services Run Fully in Spanish
Spanish is a full clinical language at Children's Health: counseling, medication adherence education, and STI prevention conversations all happen directly in Spanish. For patients managing PrEP adherence or processing a new diagnosis, that means every clinical exchange, not just intake, runs in the same language.
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.

Spanish and Interpretation Built Into Every Appointment
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.
Minors Receive Confidential STI Care Here
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.

Plano Internal Medicine Associates accepts Medicare and most insurance on a fee-based scale, covering HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB: with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines on site. Appointments required; Spanish spoken.

Hepatitis C Testing Alongside the Standard Bacterial Panel
Plano Internal Medicine Associates runs hepatitis C antibody testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning a single appointment produces a complete picture rather than a partial one that leaves hepatitis C unaccounted for and unmanaged.
Without a clinic that prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, the gap between a test result and an active prevention regimen can stretch into weeks. Plano Internal Medicine Associates closes that gap: initiating, prescribing, and monitoring both medications in-house so prevention isn't deferred.
Clinical Staff Delivering Care Directly in Spanish
Spanish-language care at Plano Internal Medicine Associates is delivered by Spanish-speaking staff during the clinical encounter itself: meaning history-taking, test counseling, and treatment instructions happen in the same language, without relay or delay built into the exchange.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Plano, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Collin County tests for syphilis.

Buckhorn Park on a weekday afternoon has the unhurried feel of a city that knows it has roots: ownership rates tip toward the majority here, households tend to run large, and more than half of adult residents are married. That settled texture is real, but it sits alongside a rental population paying rents that, compounded by Plano's cost of living, leave less room each month for discretionary health spending. Nearly four in ten households earn under the six-figure threshold, and for those residents a clinic visit with an unexpected fee is the kind of thing that gets postponed.
That postponement matters most for younger adults still forming relationships, the people in their late teens and twenties who make up a meaningful slice of Plano's population and who account for the sharpest STI transmission rates regardless of city. For a renter near South Custer Road stretching $1,418 a month, the clinics listed here that operate on a sliding-fee or no-cost basis are the ones worth looking at first, because the price line, not the drive, is where the real calculation lands.

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.
