Three Prevention Tools, One Appointment

Chasing down PrEP from one provider, PEP from another, and DoxyPEP from a third means gaps between prescriptions and exposure windows that simply don't close. Ottumwa Health Group carries all three under the same appointment, so switching or combining prevention strategies doesn't require starting over somewhere new.

Herpes and Hepatitis Included in the Standard Draw

At Ottumwa Health Group, the testing panel runs herpes serology and hepatitis A, B, and C antibody screens alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Drawn and processed through the same visit. That means results for infections that typically require a separate order arrive together, without scheduling a second appointment.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be? 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 Wapello County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Eddyville, IA

Along State Highway 137, Eddyville feels like the kind of place where most people know whose truck is parked where, and roughly two-thirds of households own the modest homes lining its edges rather than renting month to month. That settled feel doesn't shorten the drive to actual care. There's no walk-in option in town, so getting screened means planning around a trip out, which is a bigger ask when work hours are irregular or a paycheck depends on shift timing rather than a fixed schedule.

That matters for the younger adults in Eddyville, people still dating, moving in with partners, or figuring out what comes next, since they're the ones for whom testing gets skipped simply because it's not on the way to anything they already do. A screening that requires a special trip is a screening that gets postponed.

Money shapes this too. With homeownership common but average household earnings modest, a lot of families here are budgeting tightly around a mortgage and everyday costs, not sitting on slack for a clinic visit with an uncertain price tag. For the renters paying close to $926 a month, an unexpected fee for a test can compete directly with rent due the same week. Knowing in advance what a visit will cost, and whether a sliding scale applies, is often what decides whether that trip out on 137 actually happens.

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

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

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.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
