Hepatitis B Testing and Vaccination on the Same Visit
Gulf Coast Health Center staffs hepatitis B testing and adult vaccination together, so the same appointment that screens you can start a vaccine series if you need one. TB testing and treatment follow the same integrated model: both are ordered, tracked, and managed by the clinic's own providers rather than handed off.
Gulf Coast Health Center staffs Spanish-language care at the clinical level, meaning diagnoses, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions are delivered by providers who work directly in Spanish. That capacity sits in the exam room itself: prescriptions are written and explained in the same language, without a relay between provider and patient.
Port Arthur Health Department pairs gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV testing with same-visit treatment for any bacterial infection confirmed that day, all on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid and private insurance. Appointments are required.
Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas in Beaumont requires an appointment and delivers HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis C testing alongside PrEP, PEP, and HIV treatment: every service at no charge, with Medicaid, insurance, and sliding-scale fees accepted.

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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in TexasMinor 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.
