Santa Rosa Community Health tests for HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee, with rapid HIV results and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections available by appointment, and every service carries no fee.
HIV testing and hepatitis C testing are explicitly free at Santa Rosa Community Health, and that zero-dollar figure extends across the full slate of services: the sliding scale bottoms out at no charge, meaning PrEP, STI treatment, vaccines, and TB care all operate under the same no-cost ceiling.
Spanish functions as a full clinical language at Santa Rosa Community Health, not a supplemental accommodation. Medication adherence counseling, HIV care conversations, PrEP education, and STI treatment discussions all carry in Spanish, which means clinical nuance doesn't flatten when the visit gets complex.
Many testing sites return a result and hand off ongoing HIV management to a separate provider. Santa Rosa Community Health, backed by Ryan White Program funding, carries HIV-positive patients from initial diagnosis through continuous medical treatment and medication adherence support. Within the same practice.

Providence Medical in Santa Rosa requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead determines what a single visit can accomplish: testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and a sliding-scale fee for everyone.
Providence Medical prescribes both PrEP and PEP, which means ongoing HIV prevention and urgent post-exposure coverage live in the same chart: no separate provider to locate, no gap between testing and the prescription that follows.
Many clinics confirm a hepatitis C infection and stop there, leaving treatment to a specialist months down the line. Providence Medical carries treatment on-site, so a positive result moves directly into a management plan without the wait a referral would otherwise introduce.
The basic four-infection panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) leaves herpes and hepatitis B and C unaccounted for. Providence Medical tests for all of them, so a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower screen would simply miss.

Planned Parenthood Northern California in Santa Rosa tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted; bacterial infections treated same visit, by appointment.
When a diagnosis lands in English and a patient processes it in Spanish, the critical details (what to treat, what to tell a partner, when to return) get lost, and an untreated infection is the bill that comes due. Planned Parenthood Northern California Santa Rosa delivers care directly in Spanish, with interpretation services for other languages, so nothing critical falls through in translation.
Plenty of clinics treat STIs but stop short of extending confidential services to patients under 18, meaning a minor's care can surface on a family insurance statement or require a guardian's sign-off. As a Title X facility, Planned Parenthood Northern California Santa Rosa is legally required to keep minors' family planning and STI services confidential, full stop.
Planned Parenthood Northern California Santa Rosa prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means the conversation, the prescription, and the follow-up monitoring all happen with the same care team. Keeping HIV prevention continuous rather than fragmented across multiple providers.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Napa County, the county that includes Calistoga, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#43 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 26% of the state
| Infection | Napa County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 256.7 342 cases ▼ 48% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 91.6 122 cases ▼ 52% | 190.2 | 179.5 |

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 Napa County, chlamydia has fallen from 310.8 to 256.7 per 100,000 (17%), gonorrhea has risen from 81.9 to 91.6 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 9.4 to 17.3 per 100,000 (84%).

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 Napa County.
Local HIV snapshot
Napa County HIV care continuum (2023)
Napa County recorded 8.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Napa County residents living with HIV, 82.5% are in care · 75.8% 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 Napa County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Calistoga's rhythm moves with the vineyard calendar and the trades that sustain it, harvest timing, winery operations, seasonal work that brings young adults into the valley year-round. Many residents here are in their late teens through thirties, often new to the area or splitting time between here and elsewhere, which means health decisions often happen without the weight of longtime neighborhood familiarity. Getting tested for STIs in and around Calistoga is straightforward: the clinics and providers listed on this page handle screening with the same discretion they'd offer anywhere, and the results stay confidential whether you're establishing care in town or passing through. The community's comfortable character means access to testing without financial strain, though some prefer traveling to nearby larger centers for added privacy.
A choice that's entirely personal. What matters is that screening happens, especially for anyone sexually active, regardless of symptoms or relationship status. Clinics serving Calistoga understand that young adults juggle work schedules, seasonal employment, and varying insurance situations. Whether you're rooted here or temporary, confidential STI screening is available without delay or judgment, and knowing your status is the practical first step toward staying healthy.

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 California 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 California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
California 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.
