Read full overview Show less

Every Test and Treatment Runs at Zero Cost

The clinic is staffed and funded to absorb the full cost of every service it offers (tests, STI treatment, prevention medications, and vaccines) without billing patients at any point. Nothing is deferred to a fee schedule or reserved for a specific eligibility tier.

Clinical Conversations Happen Fully in Spanish

Spanish is available as a direct language of care at this clinic, not a bridge to get through intake. That means test counseling, treatment decisions, and PrEP consultations all move at full clinical pace without the lag that reshapes what patients actually ask.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed On-Site

For someone paying cash and without a standing relationship with a primary care doctor, this clinic carries all three prevention prescriptions (PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP, and DoxyPEP for bacterial STI prevention after exposure) managed and monitored here without routing to an outside practice.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 191 reviews

Andrews County Health Department runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid and Medicare accepted, and every service carries no fee for those who qualify: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB, with STI treatment on the same visit, by appointment.

Read full overview Show less

Every Visit Costs Nothing Here

Andrews County Health Department's zero-fee structure serves anyone paying cash with no regular provider and no coverage to fall back on. Sliding scale and both public insurance programs are accepted, and for those who don't qualify through either, the fee still doesn't apply. The clinic absorbs it.

Spanish-Language Care Without the Second Appointment

When STI counseling, test results, and treatment planning can't be delivered in Spanish at the first visit, the gap that follows (delayed treatment, missed partner notification, confusion about next steps) is where infections persist. Andrews County Health Department conducts care directly in Spanish, so nothing critical waits on a follow-up.

Herpes Testing Added to the Standard Panel

For anyone without a primary care provider who needs a complete picture rather than a partial one, Andrews County Health Department tests for herpes alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. A fuller panel than many public clinics offer, delivered at no fee on a sliding scale.

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.

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 Gaines County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Seminole, TX

Seminole reads like a settled place: most households here own their homes, families run large, and more than half of adults are married. That stability is real. That matters most for people in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI transmission runs highest, who are also the least likely to reorganize a full workday around a single appointment. Gaines County's STI picture makes routine screening a reasonable habit for anyone in this age range, not just those with symptoms.

The economic spread here is wider than the tidy homeownership numbers suggest: a quarter of households clear six figures, while typical rent sits low enough that cost alone rarely blocks access. With the testing options listed on this page, several offering sliding-scale or low-cost visits, the practical question is less about money and more about finding a slot that lines up with a schedule built around long shifts and a household of nearly four people. Checking hours before heading out on West Avenue A is the step that tends to make the difference.

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Seminole often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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.
