Read full overviewShow less
Book ahead, get tested and treated same day
You'll need to schedule an appointment, but once you're in, a single visit covers testing, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and prevention options all at once. If you're between exposures and want to start doxy-PEP or PrEP, staff can discuss that during the same appointment.
Screens for nine infections, treats most on the spot
The clinic tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, plus both rapid and conventional HIV tests. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are treated immediately if positive. HIV and hepatitis results are managed with referral and follow-up; PrEP and PEP are available for prevention.
Sliding scale means you pay what fits your budget
There's no free testing here, but the clinic uses a sliding scale—you pay based on income. Insurance and Medicaid are accepted. If you're uninsured and earning modest income, the scale typically keeps costs well below a standard private clinic.
Best for anyone who needs prevention and treatment together
If you want to get tested, get treated if needed, and discuss PrEP or doxy-PEP all in one appointment without a long wait, this is the right stop. It works especially well if you're managing your own costs and need that flexibility.

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. County figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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.
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 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 Lubbock County tests for syphilis.

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