Every Service Runs on Zero-Dollar Billing

Valley AIDS Council's full scope (testing, STI treatment, PrEP, vaccines, hepatitis C treatment, HIV medical care) carries no fee for anyone who walks through the door. For someone managing care without insurance or paying out of pocket, that means PrEP prescriptions, lab work, and follow-up visits all stay within reach regardless of financial situation.

Spanish-Language Care Across Every Service Line

Spanish speakers working through PrEP initiation, STI treatment, or ongoing HIV management at Valley AIDS Council can do so entirely in Spanish. Not through an intermediary, but with staff directly. For someone navigating a chronic medication regimen or a new diagnosis, that fluency shapes how clearly instructions, side-effect discussions, and adherence plans actually land.

Ryan White Funding Keeps HIV Care Continuous

Ryan White Program funding at Valley AIDS Council means HIV care isn't a single consultation, it's a structured continuum from initial testing through antiretroviral treatment and ongoing medical management. That federal funding mechanism specifically exists to close gaps for people without adequate coverage, making sustained HIV care at Valley AIDS Council structurally stable rather than contingent on insurance status.

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.

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 Cameron County tests for syphilis.

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.
