Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greenwood Village takes walk-ins for STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and staff who communicate in American Sign Language and Spanish.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greenwood Village has staff who communicate in American Sign Language and Spanish, with interpretation available for other languages, which means Deaf patients and non-English speakers get clinical conversations conducted in their own language, not mediated through workarounds.
Many family planning providers leave minors reliant on a parent's coverage and the privacy exposure that comes with it. As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greenwood Village provides legally confidential services to minors: meaning the visit, the test, and any treatment stay off a guardian's insurance explanation of benefits by law.
Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greenwood Village prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly, so patients leave with an actual prevention regimen rather than a name to look up, and PrEP is available at no cost for those without insurance.

University of Colorado in Aurora operates on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, making its full panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, conventional HIV, and hepatitis C) available at appointment-based visits with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs.
University of Colorado carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services, which means prevention medication can be initiated and managed without routing through a separate provider. That continuity keeps the gap between a conversation and an actual prescription as short as possible.
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or paying on the sliding scale and consolidating visits where they can, University of Colorado tests hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV in a single appointment. That breadth means a more complete picture of blood-borne and sexually transmitted risk from one place.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Douglas County, the county that includes Castle Pines North, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#43 of 64 Colorado counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 33% of the state
| Infection | Douglas County | Colorado | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 186.8 717 cases ▼ 57% | 435.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 39.9 153 cases ▼ 69% | 128.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.2 16 cases ▼ 74% | 16 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.8 7 cases ▼ 83% | 10.4 | 16 |

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 Douglas County, chlamydia has fallen from 210.9 to 186.8 per 100,000 (11%), gonorrhea has fallen from 43.6 to 39.9 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.9 to 4.2 per 100,000 (8%).

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 Douglas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Douglas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Douglas County recorded 3.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Douglas County residents living with HIV, 81% are in care · 76.3% 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 Douglas County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Castle Pines North is overwhelmingly a community of homeowners: long-term residents with roots in neighborhoods like Castle Pines and Happy Canyon Ranches, established households, and the kind of stability that comes with staying put. That permanence shapes who's actually navigating STI screening here: the relatively small share of renters, younger adults in transitional living situations, and the under-35 crowd still building relationships are often the ones for whom testing feels most logistically complicated, even in a community this settled. A household structure built largely around married couples with children means the public conversation about sexual health testing tends to go quiet, not because the need disappears, but because the dominant demographic narrative leaves less room for it. Rent near $2,000 a month concentrates real cost pressure on the people least likely to own here, and with labor-force participation high and unemployment low, the practical barrier isn't money alone.
It's calendar space. Full-time workers in Happy Canyon or along the Castle Pines corridor aren't skipping clinics out of indifference; a Tuesday-afternoon appointment simply doesn't fit a packed work schedule. The listed options on this page (sortable by distance, hours, and fees) exist precisely to cut that planning time down, so the drive to Elk Ridge Park on a weekend morning is easier than the one to a lab you're not sure is open.

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.
