Nevada Health Centers in Las Vegas is a community health center where STI care sits alongside full primary care: meaning gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV are tested and bacterial infections treated same visit, on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, by appointment, with Spanish-speaking staff on site.

Spanish-Language Care Built Into Every Visit
Nevada Health Centers carries Spanish as a working clinical language, with interpretation services available for other languages beyond that. For anyone navigating STI care, contraception, or PrEP conversations where medical nuance matters, having that capacity embedded in the staff rather than arranged around them is the difference between a full appointment and a compressed one.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here
Nevada Health Centers prescribes and manages both PrEP, including the follow-up HIV and kidney monitoring built into every PrEP protocol, and PEP for HIV prevention, with a dedicated program covering PrEP costs for uninsured patients. That funding removes the financial barrier that most commonly stalls people from starting or continuing daily prevention medication.
Herpes and Hepatitis C Testing Beyond the Standard Four
People without a regular primary care provider, who have nowhere else to order a herpes or hepatitis C test outside an urgent care that won't handle the follow-up, find that Nevada Health Centers' broader panel fits their actual situation. Testing for herpes and hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV means a single appointment can close gaps that a narrower panel would leave open.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 12 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Apex, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Apex runs on a schedule that doesn't leave much slack. With well over a third of working-age residents outside the labor force, and unemployment running notably high, the rhythms here aren't the steady nine-to-five pattern that makes a Tuesday-morning clinic visit easy to slot in. For people in their late teens and twenties navigating gig shifts, job searches, or stretched household budgets, carving out time for screening can mean weighing it against a lot of competing pressures. The rental reality adds another layer. Nearly two-thirds of households here rent, and at around $1,300 a month, that's a cost that shapes how people budget everything else.
Including health appointments that feel optional until they aren't. Larger households with multiple adults sharing that rent aren't unusual, which means schedules compound across people rather than belonging to any one person alone. Apex Summit anchors the northern edge of the area, and the road connections running south toward Clark County's denser corridors mean that a same-day appointment (before the evening shift, or between commitments) is a realistic option rather than an optimistic one. The access is there; matching it to a specific opening in someone's actual week is the piece these listings are built to help with.

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

Confidentiality & consent in NevadaMinor 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.
