Specialty infectious disease care for all ages
Cook Children's Infectious Disease handles HIV, hepatitis B and C, TB, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and other infections with the depth of a hospital-based team. You'll see providers trained in managing these conditions long-term, not just diagnosing them—whether you're newly diagnosed, already in treatment, or preventing infection.
Testing, treatment, and prevention in one visit
A single appointment covers testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, TB, and HIV, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial STIs. If you're HIV-negative and at ongoing risk, you can start PrEP during your visit. Hepatitis B and C treatment, TB therapy, and HIV care are managed on-site, and you can receive mpox, HPV, and hepatitis A vaccines here as well.
Free mpox vaccine; standard fees for other services
Mpox vaccination is free. A clinic visit carries a standard fee; insurance is accepted. If cost is a barrier, discuss it at check-in—the clinic works with patients on payment.
Appointment-based access

A family clinic that handles sexual health
Texas Health Family Care treats STI testing and treatment as part of everyday primary care, not a separate urgent visit. You come in for a checkup and walk out with screening for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, HIV, and TB—plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections if needed. Prevention education and HPV and hepatitis A vaccines are available too, so a single appointment can cover testing, treatment, and the next layer of protection.
Cost works if you have coverage or flexibility
Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, as is private insurance. If you're uninsured or between plans, the clinic uses a sliding-scale fee structure, so your cost depends on income. You'll need to call ahead to schedule an appointment and discuss what you'll owe based on your situation.
Best for people with insurance or steady income
This clinic shines if you have Medicaid, Medicare, or private coverage and want STI care folded into your regular doctor's visit. If you're uninsured and need free testing, a public health clinic will serve you better; if you need walk-in access without an appointment, look elsewhere.

Here's how reported STI rates in Tarrant County — the county that includes Fort Worth — compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~31% of Tarrant 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.

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 Tarrant County residents living with HIV, 78.6% know their status · 81.7% are in care · 71.6% are virally suppressed.
Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers — it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Tarrant County tests for syphilis.

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

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment
Testing is one step. For residents of Fort Worth, telehealth covers the rest of the picture — HIV-prevention
medication (PrEP) and DoxyPEP to lower future risk, and discreet online treatment if a result comes back
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 Fort Worth 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.
