Mitchell County Health Department in Beloit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, and conventional HIV testing alongside STI treatment and family planning: all on a sliding scale with Medicaid and private insurance accepted, and every service provided at no fee to the patient.
The department's fee structure is underwritten through a combination of Title X funding, Medicaid reimbursement, and county public health appropriations. Meaning the sliding scale resolves to zero for every patient, regardless of what insurance they carry. No service carries a remaining balance.
Title X designation gives Mitchell County Health Department the legal authority to provide family planning services to minors as legally confidential, meaning records stay within the program and are not shared with a parent or guardian. That statutory protection is built into every appointment.

#30 of 105 Kansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 71% of the state
| Infection | Cloud County | Kansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 304.9 27 cases ▼ 33% | 453.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 33.9 3 cases ▼ 76% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 11.3 1 cases ▼ 16% | 13.5 | 15.8 |

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 Cloud County, chlamydia has risen from 221.4 to 304.9 per 100,000 (38%), gonorrhea has risen from 33.2 to 33.9 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 11.3 to 11.3 per 100,000.

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 Cloud County.
Local HIV snapshot
Cloud County HIV care continuum (2023)
Cloud County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Cloud County residents living with HIV, 100% are in care · 75% 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 Cloud County tests for syphilis.

For the young adults who staff the grain elevators, equipment shops, and processing plants alongside those in school or building careers, routine STI screening fits into life as a practical health habit, one that doesn't demand a trip to a distant city. Testing in and around Concordia listed on this page reflects the town's character: straightforward, affordable, and designed for people who value their time and their privacy equally. The modest cost of living here means testing fees stay low enough that expense never becomes the reason to skip screening.

Whether you're checking in before a relationship, after a concern, or simply as part of staying well, the testing available here meets you where you are. No elaborate explanations needed, no shame built into the process. Just the care that makes sense.

Two things that actually depend on Kansas 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 Kansas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Kansas 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.
