Tests offered
Apache County Public Health Services District in St Johns tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C: the full panel at no charge to patients, with STI treatment on-site and an appointment required to be seen.
Apache County Public Health Services District charges nothing for any of its services. That zero-cost baseline extends from the initial test through STI treatment, vaccines, and counseling. Meaning nothing gets deferred because of what it would cost to continue.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Apache County Public Health Services District tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. That wider scope means a single appointment in St Johns produces answers on infections rather than requiring separate follow-up for the ones most panels leave out.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Apache County, the county that includes Concho, compare with Arizona and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
#1 of 15 Arizona counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Apache County | Arizona | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 801.1 521 cases ▲ 45% | 552.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 247.6 161 cases ▲ 30% | 190.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 123 80 cases ▲ 410% | 24.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 98.4 64 cases ▲ 300% | 24.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 164.5 107 cases ▲ 197% | 55.3 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Apache County, chlamydia has risen from 572.5 to 801.1 per 100,000 (40%), gonorrhea has risen from 221.1 to 247.6 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 54.5 to 123 per 100,000 (126%).

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 Apache County.
Local HIV snapshot
Apache County HIV care continuum (2023)
Apache County recorded 22.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Apache County residents living with HIV, 80.3% are in care · 69.3% 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 Apache County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Concho's rhythm follows the land: ranching, seasonal work, and the trades that sustain Apache County communities. People here move between jobs that demand their focus, and life doesn't always pause for health appointments. That's where accessible STI screening in and around Concho fits into daily reality: clinics listed on this page operate with schedules that recognize work patterns, and the ability to get tested without disrupting your week matters. A significant portion of Concho's population falls into the years when routine screening becomes straightforward prevention: late teens through the thirties, when sexual health decisions happen fast and often without warning.
Confidentiality isn't negotiable here; results stay sealed, and your test history doesn't follow you into the grocery store or the feed supply. The clinics serving Concho treat screening as clinical fact, not small-town gossip. Whether you're based near Mormon Hill, passing through Lions Park, or working further out along AZ 61, the testing sites available in and around town are mapped on this page with distances and hours. Getting screened is as practical as any other health step, no elaborate story needed, no elaborate wait.

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