Tests offered
Central Nevada Health District in Fallon runs entirely on a no-cost model, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB: all by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and sliding-scale fees where applicable.
Central Nevada Health District charges nothing for any service it provides, testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, all of it. For anyone paying out of pocket without a regular provider, that means the full scope of care, from a rapid HIV result to same-visit gonorrhea treatment, is available without a bill attached to any of it.
Skipping hepatitis testing means a second appointment elsewhere, a separate lab order, and a gap where an active infection goes unaddressed. Central Nevada Health District tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C in the same visit as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Closing that gap before it opens.

#7 of 17 Nevada counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 59% of the state

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 Churchill County, chlamydia has fallen from 466.4 to 317.8 per 100,000 (32%), gonorrhea has fallen from 70.5 to 34.9 per 100,000 (50%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 11.7 to 15.5 per 100,000 (32%).

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 Churchill County.
Local HIV snapshot
Churchill County HIV care continuum (2022)
Churchill County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 21.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Churchill County residents living with HIV, 80.8% are in care · 65.4% 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 Churchill County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Oats Park sits at the center of Fallon Station, a gathering place where the town's rhythm feels knowable and direct. That same straightforwardness shapes how sexual health care works here: testing clinics and providers operate with the understanding that young adults, a meaningful presence in the community, need access to confidential screening without delay or fanfare. The testing sites listed on this page honor that need, offering the kind of privacy that allows residents to get answers without worrying about who might notice them walking through a door. In a town where faces repeat and routines are visible, the assurance that test results remain sealed matters in concrete ways.
Fallon Station's clinics treat confidentiality not as an afterthought but as the foundation of their practice, knowing that trust determines whether someone actually shows up. Walk-in appointments and same-day results are available in and around Fallon Station, reducing the gap between deciding to test and getting clarity. Young adults here (whether new to the area, settling in, or passing through) can access the full range of STI screening without needing to explain themselves or travel far. The clinics understand the particular weight of that access in a town this size.

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