Indian Health Service in Whiteriver takes walk-ins for STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV) alongside TB screening, family planning, and same-visit bacterial treatment, all at no fee on a sliding scale.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost

For anyone without a regular provider or insurance, Indian Health Service in Whiteriver is the rare clinic where every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) carries no charge. There is no tier, no copay conversation, and no service withheld because of payment.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Building

For someone managing both an STI and a substance-use concern, Indian Health Service in Whiteriver holds substance-abuse treatment and STI care in the same clinical setting. That means a single visit can address both without navigating separate providers, referrals, or scheduling gaps between them.

Herpes and Hepatitis C Tested Here Directly

Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis C undetected. Infections that carry real clinical consequences when they go unnamed. Indian Health Service in Whiteriver tests for both on-site, so a visit here closes gaps that a narrower panel would leave open.

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 Navajo County tests for syphilis.

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

Two things that actually depend on Arizona 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 Arizona, 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)

Arizona 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.
