Arapahoe County Public Health in Aurora tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale that, here, reaches zero: every test and every service carries no fee.
The no-fee structure at Arapahoe County Public Health isn't limited to HIV or STI tests: it extends to PrEP, DoxyPEP, mpox vaccine, HPV vaccine, hepatitis A and B vaccines, STI treatment, and medication adherence counseling. There is no tiered schedule where some services bill and others don't; the operational commitment is a single, flat policy across the full clinical menu.
Spanish is available directly at Arapahoe County Public Health, and interpretation for other languages is built into the appointment structure. Not a contingency arranged after arrival. That means PrEP counseling, DoxyPEP dosing instructions, and medication adherence education are delivered in the language of the visit, with the same clinical precision regardless of which language that is.
As a Title X clinic, Arapahoe County Public Health is federally mandated to provide family planning services to minors with legal confidentiality. Not a clinic policy but a statutory protection. That covers STI testing, contraception, and related counseling, with records shielded from parental disclosure under Title X's own regulatory framework.

UCHealth in Aurora pairs bacterial STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment when results call for it, all on a fee schedule that accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Appointments are required, and care is available in Spanish.
When a language gap means a question goes unasked or an instruction goes ununderstood, the downstream cost is a missed dose, a delayed diagnosis, or a partner not notified. At UCHealth Aurora, Spanish-language care is built into the clinical encounter itself, not sourced afterward, so nothing critical waits on a workaround.
UCHealth Aurora prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient who qualifies can leave with an active prevention plan rather than a name to look up elsewhere. That continuity keeps adherence, and therefore effectiveness, grounded in an established clinical relationship.
For anyone without a regular provider, or paying out of pocket and wanting answers in a single visit, UCHealth Aurora's panel extends to herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core bacterial and HIV tests, eliminating the need to piece together screening across multiple appointments.

Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora delivers rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside the full bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone, with walk-ins welcome and all services free.
Title X funding at Children's Hospital Colorado eliminates the fee on every service offered (testing, treatment, PrEP, vaccines, counseling) not a selected subset. That coverage means PrEP initiation and HPV vaccination carry the same cost as the HIV test: none.
Children's Hospital Colorado provides Spanish directly alongside broader interpretation services for other languages, so clinical conversations about medication adherence or PrEP dosing happen without lag or summary. The full exchange, not a condensed version.
As a Title X site, Children's Hospital Colorado extends legally confidential family planning services to minors: a federal protection that keeps testing, contraception, and STI treatment records separate from a parent's insurance or household account by law, not by policy preference.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Adams County, the county that includes Bennett, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% 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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Adams County, chlamydia has risen from 505.6 to 588.2 per 100,000 (16%), gonorrhea has fallen from 175.3 to 168.2 per 100,000 (4%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 13.9 to 17.8 per 100,000 (28%).

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 Adams County.
Local HIV snapshot
Adams County HIV care continuum (2023)
Adams County recorded 16 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Adams County residents living with HIV, 72.2% are in care · 66.6% 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.
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 Adams County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Still, roughly three in ten residents rent, and at just over a thousand dollars a month, that rent competes directly with discretionary spending, including out-of-pocket health costs. When a co-pay or lab fee lands in the same week as rent, screening tends to wait. Bennett's household profile adds texture to that picture. With nearly six in ten adults married and an average household running to more than three people, a lot of residents are navigating shared schedules, shared finances, and the particular inertia of family logistics.
The nearly one in three households clearing six figures gives the community real economic range, but unemployment running close to six percent means a meaningful slice of working-age residents are between paychecks. Exactly the moment when a non-urgent appointment feels optional. The younger adults who've settled into neighborhoods like Bennett Crossing and Skyview (people still forming partnerships, often in those late-twenties years when STI rates climb) are woven into these same household structures. For them, options listed on this page offer something useful: variety that can fit around a carpool, a shared car, or a Tuesday that actually exists.
Getting there
At 5.61/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Bennett 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 Colorado 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 Colorado, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Colorado 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.
