MercyOne in Davenport charges on a sliding-scale fee and accepts insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: appointments required, with bacterial infections treated the same visit and PrEP and PEP available.
MercyOne carries both PrEP and PEP, and uninsured patients have a dedicated cost pathway for PrEP. That means the prescription, the monitoring labs, and the clinical relationship all stay in one place: no separate specialist, no gap between the medication and the care managing it.
MercyOne's standing capability runs from hepatitis C antibody test through to treatment, on-site. For someone without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, that matters: the path from diagnosis to curative medication doesn't require navigating a separate specialist or absorbing a second set of costs.
A panel that stops at chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis B and C undetected until symptoms force a second appointment. Often at a different clinic. MercyOne's broader panel closes that gap in a single visit, so nothing is deferred and no infection goes unnamed.

The Project of the Quad Cities in Moline runs the full bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment when results call for it, alongside rapid and conventional HIV testing and hepatitis B and C screening, all at no fee to anyone who walks in.
Every service The Project of the Quad Cities provides (testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, harm reduction) carries no charge, and that extends directly to hepatitis C treatment, meaning a chronic, manageable infection doesn't stall at diagnosis for lack of funds.
Spanish-language care at The Project of the Quad Cities is staffed directly, so counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment conversations happen in Spanish with clinic personnel, not routed through a separate service, and interpretation for other languages is coordinated on-site as well.
The Project of the Quad Cities holds Ryan White Program funding, which means someone without a regular HIV provider or insurance can receive not just testing but ongoing antiretroviral treatment and medication adherence support. Care that continues well past a single appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Scott County, the county that includes Bettendorf, compare with Iowa and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#8 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 92% of the state
| Infection | Scott County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 539.4 940 cases ▲ 26% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 229 399 cases ▲ 96% | 116.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 14.9 26 cases ▲ 45% | 10.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.3 11 cases ▼ 32% | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8 14 cases ▼ 19% | 9.9 | 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 Scott County, chlamydia has fallen from 577.7 to 539.4 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 293.1 to 229 per 100,000 (22%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.4 to 14.9 per 100,000 (338%).

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 Scott County.
Local HIV snapshot
Scott County HIV care continuum (2023)
Scott County recorded 4.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Scott County residents living with HIV, 91% are in care · 85.3% 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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
State Street cuts through Bettendorf's residential core past Lindsay Park, where the ownership rate tells a quiet story: most households here have put down roots, with mortgages rather than month-to-month leases anchoring the majority of addresses. That stability shapes the local economy in ways the page's income figures confirm, and nearly four in ten households clear six figures. Yet even a comfortable budget does not automatically clear the calendar, and for the large share of adults in partnered, multi-person households, scheduling anything medical involves coordinating around more than one person's work week. Scott County's STI rates are visible in the table above, and Bettendorf's younger adults, those in their late teens and twenties still building relationships and routines, account for a meaningful slice of the population.
That age group tends to move through life quickly: jobs, new partners, shared apartments along US 6. Low-cost, accessible screening matters not because people are careless but because annual testing is easy to defer when nothing feels urgent. Most are reachable from Great River Road or US 67 without crossing into a neighboring metro, which keeps routine screening squarely within the rhythms of everyday life along the Mississippi corridor.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.
Iowa 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.
