STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clark County, the county that includes Cal-Nev-Ari, compare with Nevada and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 17 Nevada counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Clark County | Nevada | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 537.7 12,563 cases ▲ 9% | 493.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 246.9 5,768 cases ▲ 21% | 204.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 23.7 554 cases ▲ 4% | 22.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 27 631 cases ▲ 24% | 21.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 65.9 1,539 cases ▲ 16% | 56.9 | 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 Clark County, chlamydia has risen from 498.1 to 537.7 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has risen from 218.5 to 246.9 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 27.1 to 23.7 per 100,000 (13%).

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 Clark County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Clark County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Clark County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clark County recorded 25.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 21.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clark County residents living with HIV, 82.5% know their status · 72.6% are in care · 62.6% 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 Clark County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 95 cuts straight through Cal-Nev-Ari, and for most residents that highway isn't an abstraction. It's the literal route to nearly everything, including the options listed on this page for STI screening. That physical reality shapes what "convenient access" actually means here: not a short walk, but a planned drive along a corridor that connects this small Nevada community to a wider network of care. The town's profile is worth sitting with.
Homeownership runs exceptionally high, which means most people here have long roots and stable addresses, but that stability can coexist with stretched household budgets when incomes are modest across the board. With the modest rents that do exist in the area and very low labor-force participation overall, the community skews toward people outside traditional nine-to-five employment rather than inside it. Smaller household sizes and a relatively low share of partnered adults mean many residents navigate health decisions independently, without a built-in support system pushing them toward follow-through. For younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically at the center of STI risk, that independence makes low-barrier access genuinely important.
Many of options listed here offer extended or flexible hours specifically because working schedules are rarely uniform. For someone whose day isn't structured around a conventional workweek, an evening or weekend appointment along the US 95 corridor is what actually closes the gap between knowing testing exists and going.
Getting there

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 Nevada 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 Nevada, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Nevada 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.
