Health West in Evanston runs on scheduled appointments, so visits move without a wait: one sitting covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B and C testing, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and hepatitis A and B vaccines.
Health West prescribes both PrEP and PEP in-house, pairing the prescription with the ongoing lab monitoring (kidney function, HIV status, STI screening) that keeping someone safely on either regimen actually requires. That continuity lives in one chart, managed by the same clinical staff across visits.
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, Health West's panel closes a common gap: hepatitis B and C are tested alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia in a single appointment, meaning someone who needs the full picture, not just the standard four, can get it here in one visit, on a sliding-scale fee.

Uinta County Public Health Department in Evanston takes walk-ins for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing, with bacterial STIs treated the same visit, vaccines on-site, and fees on a sliding scale. Care delivered in Spanish.
Without Spanish-language care at the testing site itself, a positive bacterial result can stall into an untreated gap while someone navigates a separate follow-up appointment at a different facility. At Uinta County Public Health Department, that chain breaks: Spanish is available for the test, the result, and the treatment conversation in the same visit.
Uinta County Public Health Department prescribes both PrEP, daily oral tenofovir-based regimens that reduce HIV acquisition risk, and PEP directly, without routing either to a specialist referral. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, including the required HIV and renal labs, is managed at the same location.
For anyone without a primary care provider handling routine labs, or paying out of pocket for a thorough workup, Uinta County Public Health Department's panel covers hepatitis A, B, and C testing in addition to HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, plus TB, in a single visit, so no infection in that group goes unexamined by default.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Uinta County, the county that includes Bear River, compare with Wyoming and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#16 of 23 Wyoming counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 30% of the state
| Infection | Uinta County | Wyoming | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 149.4 31 cases ▼ 52% | 313.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 9.6 2 cases ▼ 77% | 42.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 2.2 | 15.8 |

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 Uinta County, chlamydia has fallen from 195.6 to 149.4 per 100,000 (24%), gonorrhea has fallen from 14.7 to 9.6 per 100,000 (35%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 4.8 to 4.8 per 100,000.

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 Uinta County.
Local HIV snapshot
Uinta County HIV care continuum (2023)
Uinta County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 4.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Uinta County residents living with HIV, 40% are in care · 20% 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 Uinta County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Bear River's Uinta County roads don't announce themselves with strip-mall clinics or urgent-care signs: the landscape here is open, the housing stock is overwhelmingly owner-occupied, and most households are larger families where a health errand rarely gets done on a solo lunch break. That rootedness shapes everything: nearly seven in ten adults here are married, households run large, and the working population is substantial. But unemployment is meaningful enough that cost sensitivity is real for a notable share of residents, even as roughly a third of households earn well into six figures.
That mix matters for younger adults (people still in their late teens and twenties, still sorting out relationships and routine health habits) because the county's STI picture reflects exactly what national data predict for that life stage. When most of your neighbors own their homes and settled here for the long run, newer arrivals or younger adults without that same anchor can feel like they're figuring things out on their own timeline, which makes low-cost, low-obstacle options genuinely useful rather than theoretical. The options listed on this page span a range of distances and hours, and knowing that range in advance is what turns an intention into a scheduled trip rather than a postponed one.
Getting there
At 5.82/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Bear River generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Wyoming 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 Wyoming, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Wyoming 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.
