Allina Health in Bloomington pairs testing for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A and B, and HIV with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; fees run on a sliding scale and appointments are required.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Added to the Panel
Allina Health tests for herpes and hepatitis A and B alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave unexamined. Giving you and your provider a fuller picture to act on.
Clinical Care Conducted Fully in Spanish
Spanish-language care at Allina Health is a direct clinical capability (history, counseling, and treatment discussion happen in Spanish with staff, not mediated through a secondary channel) so nothing is compressed or lost when the medical detail matters most.

Hennepin Healthcare in Richfield runs on sliding-scale fees with Medicaid and private insurance accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care delivered in American Sign Language, Spanish, and additional interpreted languages.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Stay Together
A hepatitis C diagnosis that ends at the antibody test sends patients chasing a second provider, a second intake, and weeks of delay before antiviral therapy starts. At Hennepin Healthcare, treatment follows diagnosis in the same clinical relationship. The gap between knowing and actually getting better doesn't open.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed at the Same Appointment
Hennepin Healthcare prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning patients leave with an active prevention plan rather than pending paperwork. That continuity keeps the window between decision and medication as short as possible.
ASL and Spanish Aren't Bolted On Here
Many clinics treat non-English and Deaf patients as edge cases, routing communication through intermediaries that slow and flatten a clinical conversation. Hennepin Healthcare delivers care in American Sign Language and Spanish directly, and interpretation is available for other languages, so the exchange between patient and provider carries the same precision it would in any other visit.

First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield pairs family planning with a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Every test and service carries no fee.
Read full overviewShow less
Every Test and Treatment Costs Nothing Here
When testing reveals a bacterial infection, the next step is treatment, and at First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield, that step never generates a separate bill. No service here carries a charge, so the gap between diagnosis and care closes at the same visit, not across multiple appointments driven by what someone can afford.
Spanish Speakers Get Direct Care, Not Brokered Communication
Many clinics handle Spanish by patching in an outside service, which puts distance between a patient and their provider at exactly the moment clarity matters most. First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield delivers care directly in Spanish, so nothing about the conversation gets filtered or delayed.
First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield runs herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C tests alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: a range that serves anyone without a regular provider who needs a thorough baseline, or who wants to rule out infections that a shorter panel would simply leave unaddressed.
Valley Medical and Wellness in Burnsville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid and most insurers. Bacterial STIs and hepatitis B are treated on-site, and appointments are required.

Live Interpretation Across Non-English Languages
Valley Medical and Wellness has interpretation services available for non-English-speaking patients, meaning clinical conversations (exposure history, treatment plans, follow-up instructions) are handled through a live interpreter rather than approximated. Accurate communication at that level directly shapes whether a treatment course is understood and followed.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Added to the Core Panel
Beyond the standard four, Valley Medical and Wellness tests for hepatitis A, B, and C in the same visit, and treats hepatitis B on-site, so a positive result moves directly into a managed care plan without routing patients elsewhere for the next step.

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Eden Prairie pairs family planning infrastructure with a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with appointments, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and interpretation services for non-English speakers.

Live Interpretation, Not a Language Line
Walk-in urgent-care and many standalone test sites hand off language access to a phone service that neither clinician knows how to use well. At Planned Parenthood North Central States, interpretation is coordinated as part of the visit itself, so the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and next steps happens with real fluency, not workarounds.
Title X Confidentiality Extends to Minors Here
As a Title X-funded clinic, Planned Parenthood North Central States provides legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning a young person can access STI testing, treatment, and prevention without that care appearing on a parent's insurance or requiring guardian involvement.
The clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral for the medication itself. PrEP requires periodic HIV testing and kidney-function labs to stay on the regimen safely; the clinical staff at Planned Parenthood North Central States handles that monitoring, keeping the prescription and the follow-up care in the same place.

HealthPartners in Saint Louis Park pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia with testing for HIV, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: all on a sliding scale, with appointments required, and every service provided at no fee.
Read full overviewShow less
Every Service Runs Without a Bill
All care at HealthPartners carries zero cost to the patient, which means the sliding scale doesn't just reduce a bill, it eliminates it entirely, so nothing about what you can afford shapes which tests you get or which treatments you leave with.
PrEP and PEP Available Without a Primary Care Provider
HealthPartners prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, making it a standalone source for HIV prevention medication. Useful for anyone paying out of pocket or without an established provider who would otherwise write that prescription.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
After a confirmed hepatitis C diagnosis, HealthPartners initiates antiviral therapy directly: prescribing direct-acting antivirals, monitoring viral load through treatment, and managing the full course in-house rather than handing care off to a specialist.

Aliveness Project in Minneapolis tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and all services provided at no charge.
Read full overviewShow less
Zero-Cost Care, No Cash Required
Without a regular provider or insurance, the cost of STI care can quietly become the reason care gets delayed. Aliveness Project's standing policy covers every service (testing, treatment, PrEP) at no fee, so the financial calculation never enters the room.
Spanish-Language Care Stays In-House
When a clinic can't deliver care in Spanish, the gap doesn't just cause inconvenience. It can mean a prescription that goes unfilled or a diagnosis that doesn't land clearly. At Aliveness Project, Spanish-language services are built into the care itself, not routed around it.
PrEP and PEP Are Prescribed and Managed On-Site
PrEP requires more than a single prescription: it involves regular HIV testing, kidney-function monitoring, and follow-up visits to keep the regimen going. Aliveness Project staffs all of that directly, including PEP for uninsured patients, so prevention stays active rather than stalling between appointments.
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 3 miles away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Bloomington, 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 (opens in a new tab) 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.

Among Hennepin County residents living with HIV, 80.2% are in care · 65.1% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Hennepin County tests for syphilis.

Normandale Boulevard threads through a Bloomington where nearly half of adults are married and households average just over three people, a scale that shapes how health decisions get made. When one person schedules a screening, the ripple often touches a partner, a co-parent, or a roommate. That connected household character is part of why routine STI testing tends to be a shared consideration here rather than a solitary errand, and why the logistics of getting it done carry real weight. With two-thirds of residents owning their homes, Bloomington reads as a community with roots, yet a meaningful share are renters at rents that leave limited cushion for unexpected medical costs.
For young adults in their late teens and twenties, who make up a substantial slice of the population, cost and convenience together determine whether a test actually happens. Hennepin County's STI figures reflect a county-wide picture, and Bloomington residents are part of that count. Someone living off Normandale Boulevard, near Pentagon Park or Centennial Lakes, is already embedded in the county's transmission patterns whether or not they think of it that way. Staying current with screening is simply the most accurate way to know where things stand, which matters more, not less, in a household where two or three people's health intersects.

Confidentiality & consent in Minnesota
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Minnesota 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 Minnesota, 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)
Minnesota 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.
