Testing and treatment in one visit
ASAS Health screens for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and TB. Bacterial STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea are treated on-site the same day, so you leave with antibiotics in hand rather than a follow-up appointment.
Prevention: vaccines and education
Beyond testing, the clinic offers HPV and hepatitis A vaccines to stop infection before it starts, plus hepatitis B vaccination for those who need it. STI and HIV prevention education is part of every visit, helping you understand your risk and next steps.
Sliding-scale fees for most
Testing and treatment are not free, but ASAS Health uses a sliding scale—your cost depends on income. Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance are all accepted, so bring your card if you have one.
Appointment required
Plan ahead and call to schedule; walk-ins are not available. Once booked, you'll get testing, treatment, and prevention guidance in a single appointment.

Book ahead for same-day testing and treatment
You'll need to call or schedule an appointment rather than walk in, but once you're there, a single visit covers testing, counseling, and—for bacterial infections—immediate treatment. That efficiency matters when you want results and care without multiple trips.
Screens for six STIs plus hepatitis and offers vaccines
The clinic tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Bacterial STIs are treated on-site the same visit. HPV and hepatitis A vaccines are available, along with hepatitis B vaccination for adults, so prevention and diagnosis happen in one place.
Sliding scale means cost depends on what you earn
There is a fee, but it's based on your income—you pay less if you earn less. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, so if you're insured, use that first. Uninsured and paying out of pocket, you'll find the sliding scale more forgiving than a standard clinic visit.

STD testing near Corpus Christi in Nueces County
Just outside Corpus Christi? These nearby Nueces County communities have their own testing guides — clinics, at-home kits, and free screening close to home.
Here's how reported STI rates in Nueces County — the county that includes Corpus Christi — compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~28% of Nueces County residents are aged 15–34 (ACS) — the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally, which is why local screening access matters here.
Lower chlamydia rate than 4% of the state's 254 counties (ranked #11)

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.

Nueces County HIV care continuum (2023)
Nueces County recorded 15.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally.
Among Nueces County residents living with HIV, 84.4% are in care · 75.6% are virally suppressed.
Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers — it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 the county health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Nueces County tests for syphilis.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a Corpus Christi-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving Corpus Christi 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

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment

positive. All prescribed by licensed U.S. clinicians.
Prevent (PrEP & DoxyPEP)
Daily or on-demand medication that prevents HIV — and DoxyPEP, which lowers the risk of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in Texas
The questions Corpus Christi residents ask most before testing, answered under Texas law — which sets confidentiality and consent the same way statewide. Prefer to keep your name off the record? See our guide to anonymous STD testing.
Can a minor consent?
In Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own — no parental permission is required.
Will it show on my insurance?
If you use health insurance, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may be mailed to the policyholder. Under HIPAA you can ask your insurer in writing to send communications confidentially. To keep a test fully private, choose a self-pay private lab, an at-home kit, or a public health clinic — none of these bill your insurance.
Anonymous & no-insurance options
Public health clinics and at-home kits let you test without involving insurance or your regular doctor. Many Texas health departments offer free or low-cost STI testing, and several sites provide anonymous HIV testing.
Can my partner be treated too?
Yes. Texas permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication to pass to your partner — no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
