Every Service Runs at Zero Cost

Whether you're paying entirely out of pocket, uninsured, or simply without a regular provider, Black Hawk County Health Department covers testing, treatment, and counseling without charging a dollar. The sliding scale applies to everyone, and no service generates a bill.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Leaving herpes or hepatitis off a panel means a second appointment, a second intake, and a gap where an undiagnosed infection continues untreated. Black Hawk County Health Department closes that gap directly: herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are on the same panel as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, resolved in one visit.

MercyOne

No ratings yet

MercyOne in Waterloo draws STI care into a full hospital system, pairing the standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and a prevention toolkit that includes PrEP and PEP. Appointments required.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP Covered Even Without Insurance

MercyOne carries dedicated funding to cover PrEP costs for uninsured patients, meaning Truvada or Descovy isn't contingent on coverage. That funding also extends to PEP, keeping both prevention medications available regardless of what a patient carries in their wallet.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis Followed by Treatment Here

Plenty of clinics will confirm a hepatitis C antibody but hand the treatment question to someone else entirely. MercyOne treats hepatitis C on-site, which means the clinical relationship that surfaces the diagnosis is the same one that manages the cure.

Herpes and Hepatitis Join the Standard Four

A basic STI panel at most clinics covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, and stops. MercyOne adds herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing to that baseline, filling in infections that otherwise go undetected when patients don't know to ask for them.

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 Black Hawk County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Evansdale, IA

Evansdale sits where the Cedar River bends through northwest Iowa, a town where most households have stayed put for years and work fills the calendar. That stability makes it easy to overlook the need for routine STI screening: until a new relationship, a health scare, or simple peace of mind prompts the question. Young adults here, whether they grew up locally or arrived for work, benefit from confidential testing that asks no questions and keeps results private, available in and around Evansdale and listed on this page. The affordability that draws people to stay also means health decisions often come down to what's accessible without strain.

STI testing clinics serving the area understand that working people need appointments that fit between shifts and paychecks, and they handle screening with the same matter-of-fact care they'd give any routine health visit. There's no judgment baked into the process, just the straightforward service a community of long-term residents and younger adults alike deserve. Whether you're planning ahead, responding to a concern, or simply keeping yourself informed, the testing sites near Evansdale operate on the assumption that sexual health is health, no different from any other preventive care. Confidentiality is built into how these clinics function, not offered as an afterthought.

Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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.
