Texas rules and programs

Checked Nov 1, 2026

Free option: public clinics

Free and low-cost testing is available at health department clinics and Title X family planning clinics. CDC's GetTested site finds confidential, free or low-cost testing near you by ZIP code.

What to expect

  • Clinics usually test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV, and often hepatitis B and C, following CDC screening advice for your age, anatomy and the kind of sex you have.
  • A clinician can examine you, swab sores and often treat you in the same visit.
  • Some tests sold in private panels are usually not offered without symptoms, such as herpes blood tests and HPV tests for men, because CDC doesn't recommend them as screening tests.
  • Hours can be limited, and you may wait for an appointment or a walk-in slot.
  • Free testing usually isn't anonymous either (some publicly funded sites offer anonymous HIV testing). Positive results for reportable infections are reported to the health department, confidentially.

Questions about STD testing in Houston

Hours and services change. Call ahead or check the clinic's own page before you go.

Where can I get a free STD test in Houston?

Harris County Public Health says the HIV and STI testing at its Antoine Clinic in northwest Houston is free, and uninsured patients are welcome. Avenue 360 and the Montrose Center offer free rapid tests for HIV, hepatitis C and syphilis. The city's health centers use a sliding fee scale and say no one is denied services for inability to pay.

Do Houston Health Department clinics take walk-ins?

Yes, first come, first served, as staff time allows. Since September 1, 2026 the department has encouraged appointments for its sexual health clinic, and walk-ins may be limited when it's full. Call 832-393-4220 to book.

Can I use Medicaid at Planned Parenthood in Houston?

Not right now. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, which runs the Houston health centers, says Texans who rely on Medicaid are currently blocked from using it at Planned Parenthood, and KFF lists Texas among seven states that bar Planned Parenthood from Medicaid. The affiliate says uninsured patients may qualify for low- or no-cost services based on income.

How long do STD test results take in Houston?

Harris County Public Health says its results take about a week, and its rapid HIV test can give a result in as little as 60 seconds. Planned Parenthood's Northville center says rapid HIV results take 10 to 40 minutes. MinuteClinic says results usually take 3 to 5 days.

Can I order an STD test online in Houston?

Yes. The price table on this page shows the providers that sell in Texas, each price with the date we checked it. You order and pay online, then give a sample at a lab near you, or use a home kit. Some providers let you order and give a sample the same day.
