Harmony Health Medical Clinic and Family Resource Center in Marysville welcomes walk-ins for STI screening, no appointment needed. Federal qualification backs its sliding-scale fees, adjusting costs to income for anyone who walks through the door. A single visit covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing.
Tests offered
Fees & payment
Ampla Health in Olivehurst runs on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB: all by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and care fully available in Spanish.
Many clinics field Spanish speakers through patchwork arrangements that still leave gaps at the clinical moment, the exam, the explanation, the treatment decision. At Ampla Health, Spanish is a language of actual care delivery, meaning the conversation about your health happens directly, without an intermediary layer between you and the clinician.
The connection between substance use and STI risk is well established, yet most STI clinics hand you contact information for a separate program and consider the matter closed. Ampla Health carries both services in-house, so a patient navigating both concerns doesn't have to rebuild trust with a second provider from scratch.
For someone without a regular provider, or paying cash and wanting a complete picture in one visit, Ampla Health's panel reaches well beyond the standard four, adding herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so gaps don't go undetected simply because a clinic's scope stopped short.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Yuba County, the county that includes Beale AFB, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~37% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#31 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 47% of the state
| Infection | Yuba County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 324.3 278 cases ▼ 34% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 108.5 93 cases ▼ 43% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16.3 14 cases ≈ the state average | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 11.7 10 cases ▼ 39% | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 49 42 cases ▲ 5% | 46.7 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Yuba County, chlamydia has fallen from 360.4 to 324.3 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 240.3 to 108.5 per 100,000 (55%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 77.2 to 16.3 per 100,000 (79%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Yuba County.
Local HIV snapshot
Yuba County HIV care continuum (2023)
Yuba County recorded 7.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Yuba County residents living with HIV, 79% are in care · 44.8% 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.
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 Yuba County tests for syphilis.

Two things that actually depend on California 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).
In California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
California 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.
