Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB in a single visit, with fees billed to insurance or charged on a sliding scale, and same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, plus PrEP and PEP on-site.
Saint Agnes Medical Center's physicians prescribe daily oral PrEP, tenofovir-based regimens, with on-site follow-up labs to monitor kidney function and confirm ongoing HIV-negative status at each refill visit. PEP is similarly staffed and dispensed through the same clinical team, keeping both medications within a single provider relationship rather than split across multiple practices.
Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno holds the full hepatitis C care continuum (RNA confirmation, genotyping if indicated, and direct-acting antiviral therapy) without sending patients to a separate gastroenterologist or infectious disease practice. For someone managing costs out of pocket or without a standing specialist relationship, that consolidation cuts months off the path from diagnosis to a sustained virologic response.
Stopping at the standard four-pathogen panel can mean a second appointment, a second copay, and weeks without knowing a hepatitis status. Hepatitis B and C sit silently for years while liver damage accumulates. Saint Agnes Medical Center builds both into the same visit that screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so a single appointment in Fresno captures the full picture.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fresno County, the county that includes Clovis, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Fresno County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 701.6 7,136 cases ▲ 43% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 203.4 2,069 cases ▲ 7% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 24.1 245 cases ▲ 48% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 18.4 187 cases ▼ 4% | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 60.7 617 cases ▲ 30% | 46.7 | 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 Fresno County, chlamydia has risen from 555.6 to 701.6 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has fallen from 244.7 to 203.4 per 100,000 (17%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 17.3 to 24.1 per 100,000 (39%).

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 Fresno County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fresno County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fresno County recorded 21.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fresno County residents living with HIV, 82.6% are in care · 72.5% 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 Fresno County tests for syphilis.

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.
