Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Centerville, MN. The nearest, Entira Family Clinics, is about 2.1 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Entira Family Clinics in Hugo tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs on a sliding-scale fee structure, and conducts care in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole.
Deaf patients and those whose primary language is Chinese, French, or Haitian Creole can have every clinical conversation (history, results, counseling) conducted directly in that language by staff, without relay services mediating the exchange. That standing capability shapes who can realistically use this clinic as their regular STI care provider.
Entira prescribes and manages both PrEP, typically daily oral tenofovir-based regimens, and PEP within its own clinical staff, meaning the prescribing, follow-up lab monitoring, and adherence counseling all run through the same appointment structure rather than requiring a separate specialist relationship.
Diagnosis alone leaves patients to navigate treatment elsewhere, a gap that often stalls care entirely. Entira Family Clinics in Hugo closes that gap by carrying hepatitis C treatment on-site alongside hepatitis B treatment, so a confirmed diagnosis leads directly to a treatment plan within the same practice.

Allina Health Columbus runs on scheduled appointments, so a single planned visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and conventional HIV testing alongside HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines: with fees billed to insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Spanish is spoken on staff.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Allina Health Columbus tests for herpes simplex, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B in the same appointment. Conditions whose clinical management diverges sharply from bacterial STIs and that require their own laboratory workup to confirm.
Substance-use treatment at Allina Health Columbus is a bookable clinical service, not a separate referral chain. Meaning a patient managing both a substance-use condition and an STI diagnosis can schedule coordinated care within the same facility, keeping treatment timelines linked rather than parallel.
Allina Health Columbus delivers care directly in Spanish, which means sexual-health history, symptom detail, and treatment instructions are exchanged with clinical staff in the same language. Reducing the compression that comes when nuance has to travel through an intermediary.

Neighborhood HealthSource in Coon Rapids runs on a sliding-scale fee with Medicaid and insurance accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV. Plus HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required.
Without on-site Spanish and interpretation access, a language barrier becomes a missed appointment, a misunderstood diagnosis, or a treatment plan that never gets followed. At Neighborhood HealthSource, Spanish-speaking staff and interpretation services are part of the visit itself, so medication adherence counseling and STI prevention education land clearly, the first time.
Leaving herpes off a panel means a separate appointment, a separate lab, and days or weeks of uncertainty about a condition that affects how partners are protected. Neighborhood HealthSource tests for herpes alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. One visit, one complete picture.

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Little Canada runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, accepts Medicaid and most insurance, and tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, rapid or conventional, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments required.
Planned Parenthood North Central States provides interpretation services directly within appointments for non-English speakers, not arranged separately after booking, but built into the care delivery itself. That means clinical conversations about diagnoses, treatment regimens, and prevention options happen in the language a patient uses, at the same visit.
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood North Central States is legally required to keep services for minors confidential. A federal protection, not a policy preference. Family planning, STI testing, and treatment for patients under 18 are documented and billed in ways that do not flow to a parent's insurance explanation of benefits.
For anyone who needs ongoing HIV prevention medication but lacks a primary care physician, Planned Parenthood North Central States prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly. No outside referral required to initiate or continue either medication. That standing capability makes it a practical first stop for cash-paying patients or those navigating coverage gaps.

Nucleus Clinic in Coon Rapids tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee; insurance and Medicaid are accepted. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, and appointments are required.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis B off a test order means returning to a second clinic, scheduling a separate appointment, and absorbing that cost again. Nucleus Clinic runs all seven (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) in a single visit, so nothing gets deferred.
When a result, a treatment plan, or a prevention conversation has to pass through translation friction, details get lost and next steps go unfinished. Nucleus Clinic in Coon Rapids delivers STI care directly in Spanish, keeping the clinical conversation intact from first question to final prescription.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Anoka County, the county that includes Centerville, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~17% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#11 of 87 Minnesota counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | Anoka County | Minnesota | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 326 1,214 cases ▼ 14% | 379.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 99.6 371 cases ▼ 26% | 134.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.4 20 cases ▼ 38% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.6 17 cases ▼ 31% | 6.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.5 28 cases ▼ 49% | 14.7 | 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 Anoka County, chlamydia has risen from 318 to 326 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 154.7 to 99.6 per 100,000 (36%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.9 to 5.4 per 100,000 (10%).

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 Anoka County.
Local HIV snapshot
Anoka County HIV care continuum (2023)
Anoka County recorded 7.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Anoka County residents living with HIV, 78.9% are in care · 63.8% 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 Anoka County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Forest Boulevard North stretches into a community where most households own their homes and carry mortgages, a financial footing that still doesn't make a clinic visit appear out of thin air when the drive out of Centerville along US 61 is the only realistic option for anyone without a car. That matters especially for younger adults still forming relationships, people in their late teens and twenties who live here amid a predominantly settled, married population with households averaging more than three people. The majority of Centerville adults are partnered, and routine screening fits naturally into shared health decisions rather than individual ones.
With more than three-quarters of residents in the workforce and unemployment barely registering, full schedules are the norm, not the exception, which makes the extended hours and varied appointment types among options listed on this page genuinely useful rather than incidental. The area's high homeownership rate and strong household incomes mean cost is less often the barrier than time and distance are. A couple balancing two jobs and children near Laurie Lamotte Memorial Park isn't avoiding testing out of indifference: listed options, sorted by proximity, exist precisely so the nearest one can be found and booked before the week fills up again.
Getting there
At 6.42/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Centerville generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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