A family clinic that handles STIs alongside routine care
Texas Health Family Care is a general practice that folds STI testing and treatment into the same visit as family planning and preventive vaccines. You'll come in for one appointment and walk out with answers, treatment if needed, and a plan to stay healthy—whether that's an HPV or hepatitis A vaccine, or education on preventing the next infection.
Testing and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections
The clinic screens for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis—all treatable on the spot—plus hepatitis B and C, conventional HIV, and TB. If you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, you'll get antibiotics before you leave. HIV and hepatitis results need confirmation and follow-up care, which the clinic manages from there.
Cost depends on your insurance or ability to pay
If you have Medicaid or Medicare, your visit is covered. Those with private insurance pay their standard copay. Uninsured patients pay on a sliding scale tied to income, so cost won't block you from getting tested.
Appointments required; no walk-ins
You'll need to call ahead and book a slot. This isn't a drop-in clinic, so plan accordingly.

Here's how reported STI rates in Dallas County — the county that includes Grand Prairie — compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~29% of Dallas 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 Dallas County residents living with HIV, 83.6% know their status · 79.1% are in care · 67.5% 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 Dallas County tests for syphilis.

Prevention & treatment

Testing is one step. For residents of Grand Prairie, 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 Grand Prairie 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.

Does the test site matter for gonorrhea?
Yes — site matters; oral/anal exposure needs a throat or rectal swab, which urine testing won't catch.
Does a negative test mean I'm safe?
Reassuring if you tested after the window — just retest if it was early, and screen again with new partners.
What's the test for trich?
A urine test or swab finds trichomoniasis, one of the most treatable STIs.
How is herpes tested?
Herpes isn't in standard panels unless you have symptoms — a sore can be swabbed, or a blood test discussed with a provider.
