Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 70 reviews

Sagebrush Health Services in Las Vegas charges no fee for any service it provides, covering the full panel (HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with bacterial STIs treated same-visit; appointments required.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost

Fee-based clinics routinely carve out exceptions, a copay here, an uninsured surcharge there. Sagebrush Health Services carries no such structure: every test, treatment, and clinical service costs nothing, regardless of coverage or income.

PrEP and PEP Available for Uninsured Patients

Sagebrush Health Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, and carries dedicated coverage for uninsured patients. Meaning the absence of insurance doesn't interrupt access to either medication.

Hepatitis C Goes Beyond Diagnosis at Sagebrush

Diagnosing hepatitis C without the capacity to treat it leaves patients to navigate a separate system on their own. Sagebrush Health Services treats hepatitis C on-site, hepatitis B as well, so a confirmed result moves directly into a care plan within the same clinic.

Southern Nevada Health District in Las Vegas tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, including self-test options, on a sliding scale with walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and every service provided at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

When a fee stops someone from returning for treatment, an infection stays active and spreads. At Southern Nevada Health District, every service (testing, treatment, PrEP, vaccines) is provided at no charge, so cost never becomes the reason care gets skipped or delayed.

Full Spanish-Language Care, Start to Finish

Southern Nevada Health District delivers care in Spanish: not just intake, but counseling, treatment decisions, and PrEP conversations. For someone without a regular provider navigating HIV medication or STI follow-up, that fluency means clinical detail lands clearly when it counts most.

Ryan White Funding Carries HIV Patients Forward

Ryan White funding at Southern Nevada Health District means HIV care doesn't stop at diagnosis, it extends into ongoing treatment and management. A patient who tests positive here stays connected to the same clinic for the long-term care that follows.

STDs & HIV in Clark County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Clark County, the county that includes Las Vegas, compare with Nevada and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Clark County HIV care continuum (2023)

Clark County recorded 25.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 21.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clark County residents living with HIV, 82.5% know their status · 72.6% are in care · 62.6% 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 a local health department.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Clark County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Las Vegas, NV

West Craig Road cuts across the northwest side of Las Vegas with enough distance between neighborhoods that a clinic visit, even one listed just a few miles out, can mean twenty minutes in the car each way. For a city where close to half of residents rent rather than own, that kind of round trip carries real weight: when rent runs over a thousand dollars a month and the household budget is already stretched, an afternoon off work is a cost calculation, not just a scheduling inconvenience. The household profile here adds texture to that calculation.

Average households are larger than the national norm, and with just under half of adults married, a meaningful share of Las Vegas residents are navigating relationships, new partners, or changing circumstances in their twenties and early thirties, exactly the years when routine screening matters most. The stretch of North Durango Drive running through Centennial Hills and toward Lone Mountain is dense with families in that life stage, people whose schedules revolve around shared incomes, childcare, and shift work in a city where labor-force participation runs well below most metros. With fewer than one in four households earning six figures, cost-sensitive options carry more than symbolic value.

What each STD test costs Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Las Vegas 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.

Confidentiality & consent in Nevada Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Nevada law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Nevada, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Nevada permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
