Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Core Panel

The clinic's panel is staffed and ordered to include hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning the bloodwork is drawn in a single visit and read by providers on staff, not sent to a separate specialist before you know where you stand.

Spanish-Speaking Staff Deliver Clinical Care Directly

Spanish-language care at Eastern Plumas Health Care is a staffing decision: providers and clinical personnel conduct the visit, document symptoms, and explain treatment plans in Spanish without routing through an intermediary, so prescriptions, follow-up instructions, and counseling are communicated in the same language the clinical conversation happens in.

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 Plumas County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Delleker, CA

For the roughly four in five households here that own their homes, that commitment looks different than it does for renters elsewhere: long-tenured residents with deep roots and predictable schedules, but also the kind of stability that can make a routine health appointment feel less pressing than it would in a faster-moving place. The household structure here is worth holding in mind. With average households running close to four people and a significant share of adults outside the labor force entirely, life in Delleker tends to be organized around the home and family.

Married couples, multigenerational arrangements, caregiving rhythms. For younger adults still forming relationships, people in their late teens and twenties who make up a smaller slice of this particular community than in most California cities, that domestic texture doesn't eliminate the need for periodic STI screening; it just means the motivation to go has to outcompete a full household's worth of competing demands and a stretch of highway to navigate. Options listed on this page include both low-cost and sliding-scale visits, practical details that matter when a trip to Portola or beyond is already part of the equation.

Confidentiality & consent in California

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

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
