Herpes and Hepatitis Answers Without a Referral

Anyone without a regular primary care provider, and no easy path to specialist labs, benefits from Allina Health's expanded testing menu, which adds herpes and hepatitis A and B to the core panel. That breadth means fewer separate appointments to piece together a complete picture of sexual health.

Substance-Use Treatment Sits in the Same Clinic

STI clinics routinely treat the infection and leave everything else to a separate system entirely. Allina Health in Cokato carries substance-use treatment alongside STI care, so patients managing both concerns can address them in one clinical relationship rather than across disconnected providers.

Spanish-Language Care for Patients Without a Regular Provider

For Spanish-speaking patients who lack an established primary care relationship, and need both testing and treatment handled in a single visit, Allina Health delivers care directly in Spanish. That standing capability means clinical conversations, treatment decisions, and follow-up planning all happen without a language barrier.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 from 85 reviews

Wright County Public Health in Buffalo runs STI care through the infrastructure of a county health department: appointment-based, with gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, and hepatitis C on the panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and all services at no fee.

No Fee Applies to Every Service Here

Wright County Public Health absorbs costs across the board: testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling are all billed at nothing, regardless of insurance status or income. Medicaid is accepted where applicable, but no coverage is required to walk out without a bill.

Interpretation Services Support Every Appointment

Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at Wright County Public Health, meaning patients can describe symptoms, ask about results, and make treatment decisions in the language they use to reason through health choices. Without losing detail in the exchange.

Herpes and Hepatitis C Expand the Standard Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Wright County Public Health tests for herpes and hepatitis C, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would miss entirely and that often go undetected without a specific request.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Wright County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Minnesota

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

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

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
