Angelina County reports about 481 chlamydia cases per 100,000 residents, near the US average.

Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Redland, TX. The nearest, East Texas Community Health Services, is about 2.9 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
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.

East Texas Community Health Services is a community health center in Lufkin where appointments cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis C, and HIV testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections on a sliding-scale fee, and full care delivered in Spanish.
Many clinics in the region offer testing in English only, folding Spanish-speaking patients into workarounds that fracture the conversation at exactly the moments that matter. At East Texas Community Health Services, Spanish runs through the entire clinical encounter (history, results, treatment decisions) not just the front desk.
Walking out of an STI visit without hepatitis C results means booking somewhere else, waiting again, and absorbing another co-pay or fee calculation. East Texas Community Health Services folds hepatitis C testing directly into the panel alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. One appointment closes the gap.

Hope Community Medicine - Lufkin earns its federally qualified designation by tying STI screening fees directly to each patient's income. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing, and no one is turned away because the sliding scale adjusts costs across all income levels.

Fees & payment
Angelina County and Cities Health District in Lufkin tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV on a sliding scale, with HIV testing available at no charge. Appointments required, bacterial STIs treated same visit.
The Health District operates under a funding structure that eliminates the charge at the point of care: not reduced, not deferred, but zeroed out across the full service menu: testing, treatment, vaccines, and family planning alike. That mechanism means the sliding scale bottoms out at nothing for qualifying visits.
Spanish functions as a full clinical language at the Health District: counseling, STI prevention education, and HIV test counseling are conducted directly in Spanish by staff, not routed through supplemental services. The consequence is that nuance in risk conversations and follow-up instructions survives intact.
Title X federal designation mandates that family planning services, including STI testing and contraceptive care, be provided to minors with legally confidential status. At the Health District, that protection is built into the program structure itself, not a case-by-case administrative decision.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Angelina County, the county that includes Redland, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~12% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#46 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 82% of the state
| Infection | Angelina County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 481 420 cases ▼ 2% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 96.2 84 cases ▼ 45% | 176.4 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 12.6 11 cases ▼ 52% | 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 Angelina County, chlamydia has risen from 388.9 to 481 per 100,000 (24%), gonorrhea has fallen from 217.6 to 96.2 per 100,000 (56%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6.9 to 6.9 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Angelina County.
Local HIV snapshot
Angelina County HIV care continuum (2023)
Angelina County recorded 13.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Angelina County residents living with HIV, 80.3% are in care · 66.7% 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 Angelina County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Redland's residential streets (quiet, owner-occupied blocks where nearly four in five households hold the deed) shelter a community that skews heavily toward families, with households averaging more than three people and nearly half of adults married. That domestic stability coexists with a labor market under real strain: well under half the working-age population is currently in the workforce, and unemployment runs high enough that unpredictable schedules and income pressure shape daily decisions in ways that tidy planning rarely accounts for. Those pressures fall unevenly on young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates climb sharply and routine screening matters most.
When a household budget leaves little room and a work week is irregular, a lab visit can move from intention to obligation to forgotten errand. That drive is worth knowing about in advance. Understanding the hours, fees, and distance of what's listed here, particularly for renters navigating tighter monthly budgets, means someone near the Clark-Whitton House end of Redland can leave knowing exactly where they're headed and what it will cost before they get in the car.
Getting there
At 5.94/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Redland 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.
