Emma Goldman Clinic in Iowa City brings feminist community health values to a full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) on a sliding-scale fee with walk-ins welcome and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Emma Goldman Clinic prescribes PrEP, the daily oral regimen of tenofovir and emtricitabine, and manages PEP for post-exposure prevention, both handled directly by clinic providers rather than routed to a separate infectious disease practice. Keeping prescribing and the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring within the same clinic means continuity stays intact from initiation through refill.
Skipping herpes or hepatitis testing at one clinic and chasing those results elsewhere means two separate appointments, two separate waits, and a gap where an active infection goes unaddressed. At Emma Goldman Clinic in Iowa City, herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C sit alongside the core bacterial and HIV tests in a single visit, so nothing falls through the scheduling gap.

| Gonorrhea | 7 days after exposure | 14 days after exposure |

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Johnson County, the county that includes Coralville, compare with Iowa and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~35% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#6 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 94% of the state
| Infection | Johnson County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 578.3 911 cases ▲ 35% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 137.1 216 cases ▲ 17% | 116.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 14.6 23 cases ▲ 42% | 10.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 19.7 31 cases ▲ 114% | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 22.2 35 cases ▲ 124% | 9.9 | 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 Johnson County, chlamydia has fallen from 616.3 to 578.3 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 187.1 to 137.1 per 100,000 (27%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6.5 to 14.6 per 100,000 (125%).

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 Johnson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Johnson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Johnson County recorded 11 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Johnson County residents living with HIV, 88.5% are in care · 84.6% 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 Johnson County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Coral Ridge Avenue cuts through the commercial heart of Coralville on its way toward the Brown Street Historic District, and for most residents here, getting to a clinic means a car trip rather than a short walk. That practical reality matters because Coralville skews notably young, with a substantial share of adults in their late teens and twenties, exactly the people for whom untreated infections are most likely to go unnoticed and spread. The city's housing picture tells part of the story: ownership and renting are nearly split down the middle, and with typical rents running close to nine hundred dollars a month, cost-conscious households have limited appetite for anything that feels optional or complicated.
Nearly a third of households clear six figures, but that still leaves the majority managing tighter budgets where a sliding-scale or low-cost option genuinely changes the calculus. Households here also tend to be larger than the state average, meaning one person's health affects several others under the same roof. Coralville's workforce participation is high, which means most adults are juggling set hours, commutes along US 6, or shift-based schedules that make midday appointments hard to claim.
Getting there
Coralville scores 15.69/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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 Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.
Iowa 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.
