UAF Legacy Health in Salt Lake City runs entirely on donations and sliding-scale fees, including a free HIV test, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV testing with no appointment required and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
For anyone managing care without insurance or paying straight from their pocket, UAF Legacy Health's standing policy is that every service (testing, treatment, PrEP, counseling) is available at no charge. Nothing is tiered behind a fee while something else is free.
Spanish-speaking patients at many clinics get routed to one bilingual staffer or wait on hold for assistance that arrives piecemeal. At UAF Legacy Health, care in Spanish is woven through the service itself. Not a workaround layered on top of an English-first system.
UAF Legacy Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient who decides to start daily HIV prevention leaves with a prescription rather than a separate appointment at another provider.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Salt Lake County, the county that includes Emigration Canyon, compare with Utah and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~37% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 29 Utah counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Salt Lake County | Utah | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 472.4 5,602 cases ▲ 47% | 322 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 151.8 1,800 cases ▲ 95% | 77.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 21.1 250 cases ▲ 118% | 9.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.3 110 cases ▲ 94% | 4.8 | 16 |

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 Salt Lake County, chlamydia has risen from 459.2 to 472.4 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 167.4 to 151.8 per 100,000 (9%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.3 to 21.1 per 100,000 (189%).

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 Salt Lake County.
Local HIV snapshot
Salt Lake County HIV care continuum (2023)
Salt Lake County recorded 8.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Salt Lake County residents living with HIV, 75.2% are in care · 66% 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 Salt Lake County tests for syphilis.

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