CentroMed in Somerset tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required; services are available in Spanish.
Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis unaccounted for: meaning a separate appointment, a separate copay, and a gap in your picture. CentroMed's panel covers hepatitis A, B, and C plus herpes in the same visit, closing that gap before it costs you twice.
For a Spanish-dominant speaker without a regular primary care provider, CentroMed in Somerset handles every step (testing, counseling, and same-visit bacterial treatment) directly in Spanish, so nothing that matters gets lost in translation between a question and an answer.

CommuniCare Health Centers in San Antonio requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks a full visit covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines. All on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone.
CommuniCare Health Centers holds Spanish-language care as a native capability, with broader interpretation services available for other languages as well. For anyone whose medical vocabulary, questions about symptoms, or concerns about treatment options live in a language other than English, that directness, no intermediary layer, keeps the clinical conversation accurate and complete.
Many clinics cap their STI panel at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: leaving herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB to outside referrals. CommuniCare Health Centers tests for all of them in one appointment, so a single visit to their San Antonio location can account for a far wider picture of sexual and infectious health.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Bexar County, the county that includes Von Ormy, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#74 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 71% of the state
| Infection | Bexar County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 399.2 8,333 cases ▼ 19% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 165.7 3,459 cases ▼ 6% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.4 384 cases ▲ 23% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 40.4 844 cases ▲ 53% | 26.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 64.8 1,352 cases ▲ 46% | 44.3 | 29.5 |

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 Bexar County, chlamydia has fallen from 594.7 to 399.2 per 100,000 (33%), gonorrhea has fallen from 259.5 to 165.7 per 100,000 (36%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 16.9 to 18.4 per 100,000 (9%).

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 Bexar County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Bexar County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Bexar County HIV care continuum (2023)
Bexar County recorded 22.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Bexar County residents living with HIV, 82.9% know their status · 77.4% are in care · 67.6% 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 Bexar County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Near Salas Family Park, the households tend to be larger and more settled than the numbers alone suggest: with most families owning rather than renting here, and average household size running close to five people, a lot of daily life revolves around packed schedules that belong to more than one generation under a single roof. That kind of household, plus a labor force where most working-age adults are clocking regular hours, means health errands often get squeezed into whatever window opens up between shifts, not planned weeks in advance.
Von Ormy skews young, and that matters because people in their late teens and twenties are moving through new relationships and new living situations faster than older residents, which is exactly when routine screening pays off most. But this is a small, spread-out place, not a place with a testing site of its own, so anyone here is looking at a real drive out, typically via I-35 (the Purple Heart Trail) or Loop 1604, to reach one. With rent low and home values modest, cost pressure isn't what keeps people away so much as time and distance.
What the geography does offer is a clear route: I-35 and Loop 1604 both run straight through, giving residents a direct, familiar way to reach a clinic without adding much to a normal day. For a household near Salas Family Park, testing can ride along with a trip already headed that direction.
Getting there
At 5.52/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Von Ormy 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.
