Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 18 reviews

Every Service Runs on Zero-Dollar Cost

For anyone paying out of pocket (no employer coverage, no regular provider, no budget for a lab bill) Wellness Tree absorbs the full cost of every test, vaccine, and treatment it delivers. Nothing here is tiered by income or capped by a donation; the no-fee structure is the standing policy for every visit.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected means a second appointment somewhere else, a separate lab order, and a gap where active infection goes unmanaged. Wellness Tree tests for both hepatitis B and C in the same visit that covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so no chronic infection gets deferred to a follow-up that may never happen.

Family Health Services

Family Health Services in Twin Falls runs on a sliding scale open to all payers (Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted) and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, by appointment, with Spanish-language care available.

Spanish Carries Through Every Clinical Step

Spanish isn't limited to intake paperwork at Family Health Services: it runs through counseling, test results, and treatment planning. That continuity means clinical nuance, dosing instructions, and follow-up guidance all land in the same language the conversation started in.

Ryan White Funding Closes the HIV Treatment Gap

Ryan White funding at Family Health Services means the clinic holds a standing infrastructure for HIV care, from initial testing through ongoing medication management, built for people whose insurance leaves HIV treatment out of reach. The program exists precisely to make that care continuous rather than contingent on coverage.

Hepatitis B and C Sit Beside the Standard Four

The panel at Family Health Services includes hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Six infections screened in a single appointment. Hepatitis C, in particular, often requires a separate referral elsewhere; here it's a named test on the same order.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 23 reviews

Family and Adolescent Care of Twin Falls runs STI testing and treatment through a family-practice model, covering the standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) on a sliding-scale fee with appointments required. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections, and PrEP and PEP are both on the menu.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP and PEP Prescribed at the Same Practice

Both PrEP and PEP are prescribed directly at Family and Adolescent Care of Twin Falls, which means an ongoing prevention plan and an established clinical relationship. No hunting for a separate prescriber when your needs change or your regimen needs adjusting.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated Here

Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a positive result sends you to a separate specialist. Another appointment, another intake process, another gap where treatment stalls. Family and Adolescent Care of Twin Falls carries the full arc: diagnosis and antiviral treatment handled within the same practice.

Herpes and Hepatitis Caught in a Single Visit

Leaving herpes or hepatitis off a panel means a separate visit, and often a separate clinic, to fill the gap, during which an active infection goes unconfirmed. Family and Adolescent Care of Twin Falls tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the core four, so one appointment surfaces the fuller picture.

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 Twin Falls County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Idaho

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

Two things that actually depend on Idaho 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 Idaho, a minor aged 14 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)

Idaho 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.
