How to read these listings
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.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Lubbock
Community Health Center of Lubbock prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning a prevention plan can be put in place the same day you walk in. That continuity keeps your care with one provider rather than split across multiple offices.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or paying out of pocket and consolidating appointments, Community Health Center of Lubbock runs hepatitis B and C testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, covering the full picture in one visit on a sliding-scale fee.
Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Lubbock covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted; same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections. Appointments are required, and Title X funding keeps confidential family planning services in reach for minors.

Confidential Minor Care Runs Through Title X
Title X designation means the clinic operates under federal family planning rules: providers are trained to document, counsel, and prescribe within those guidelines, and minors' services carry legally protected confidentiality, not a clinic policy that can be waived at the front desk.
Three Prevention Prescriptions, Not One
Many clinics offer PrEP but stop there; Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas in Lubbock prescribes PEP and DoxyPEP alongside it, meaning bacterial STI prevention after exposure and HIV prevention are managed by the same clinical team writing the same chart.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Added to the Panel
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic runs herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing: each ordered through the clinic's own protocol, with results interpreted and followed in the same appointment cycle rather than sent elsewhere.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 4 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Wolfforth, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among Lubbock County residents living with HIV, 82.6% are in care · 72% are virally suppressed.

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 Lubbock County tests for syphilis.

Wolfforth skews heavily toward homeowners: the kind of place where most households have put down roots, signed a mortgage, and aren't going anywhere soon. That stability shapes who's here: large family units, a strong majority of married adults, and a workforce that's mostly employed and active. But the roughly one-in-five residents who rent, often younger adults still early in their careers or relationships, are the ones for whom testing access tends to be most relevant, and most easily deferred. The Marsha Sharp Freeway and FM 179 connect residents to Lubbock's clinics, but for someone working a full schedule, and labor-force participation here runs high, a mid-week appointment in another city requires actual planning, not just intention.
Rent near $1,100 a month also means cost-sensitive residents are thinking carefully about out-of-pocket fees, which is exactly why the clinics listed on this page include options at different price points. Lubbock County's STI rates give real weight to that access question, particularly for people in their late teens and twenties. The years when new relationships overlap with the least routine medical care. Near The Ridge or off Spur 327, the path to a test exists; the listings above are the clearest map to it.

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.
