How to read these listings

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Rated 4 out of 5 from 23 reviews

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Saint Cloud accepts Medicaid, most insurance, and applies sliding-scale fees to keep costs proportional: then runs the full panel: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and both rapid and conventional HIV testing, by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

When Language Gaps Leave Infections Untreated

Without interpretation at the point of care, a diagnosis lands incomplete. Instructions misread, follow-up missed, a treatable infection allowed to progress. Planned Parenthood North Central States Saint Cloud has interpretation services on-site for non-English speakers, so every step from test to treatment is communicated directly and acted on.

Minors Can Be Tested Without a Parent's Knowledge

Without Title X protections, a minor facing an STI concern often has no path to care that doesn't run through a parent or guardian, and that barrier means infections go unaddressed. As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood North Central States Saint Cloud provides legally confidential STI testing and family planning services to minors directly.

PrEP Prescribed and PEP Dispensed On-Site

Planned Parenthood North Central States Saint Cloud prescribes both PrEP (the daily oral medication that requires initial HIV testing, follow-up labs, and periodic monitoring to sustain) and PEP, a short-course post-exposure regimen that must be initiated and supervised by a clinician rather than self-managed.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Testing Alongside the Core Panel

Essentia Health's panel extends well past the standard four: hepatitis A, B, and C testing are available alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. For anyone without a regular provider who needs a single appointment to cover the full picture, that breadth means fewer gaps and no separate referral chain to navigate.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 199 reviews

Allina Health in Elk River pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs with testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis A and B: all on a fee-based sliding scale that accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Appointments are required.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested, Not Assumed Elsewhere

Plenty of testing sites draw blood and run the same short list (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) and stop there. Allina Health in Elk River adds herpes and hepatitis A and B to the panel, so a single visit can surface infections that a minimal workup would miss entirely.

Substance-Use Treatment Sits Inside the Same Clinic

Allina Health in Elk River holds substance-use treatment within the same practice as STI care: a meaningful capability for anyone whose health picture involves both, and who'd otherwise have to coordinate across separate providers to get either addressed.

Clinical Care Conducted in Spanish

Many clinics handle Spanish through workarounds that keep a layer of distance between patient and provider. At Allina Health in Elk River, Spanish is a working language of care itself. Meaning the clinical conversation, not just the intake paperwork, happens directly in Spanish.

STDs & HIV in Benton County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Benton County, the county that includes Foley, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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 Benton County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Foley, MN

Riverside Park draws a mix of longtime owners and younger renters whose $602-a-month leases reflect Foley's genuinely modest cost of living, and whose work schedules, with nearly two-thirds of residents in the labor force and unemployment running low, tend to leave little room for mid-week appointments that require planning ahead. That schedule pressure matters most for young adults in their late teens and twenties, who are statistically the group most likely to benefit from routine screening and least likely to have a flexible calendar to act on it. But that's exactly the kind of reality those listings are built around: hours, fees, and distance are already laid out so residents can find the fit that actually works, rather than defaulting to whatever feels least inconvenient.

Larger households averaging more than three people, and a community where just under half of adults are married, mean that sexual health decisions often touch more than one person. The range of options listed here (spanning cost tiers, hours, and distance from Foley) means that whether someone lives near Lion's Park or out toward the edges of town, a workable appointment is findable before the week gets away from them.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Foley often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. 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 Minnesota

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

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

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Minnesota 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.
