Rated 3.8 out of 5 from 114 reviews

Allina Health in Minneapolis pairs bacterial STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment, plus herpes and hepatitis screening, all on a fee-based sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. An appointment is required. Care is available in Spanish.

Spanish Is a Clinical Language Here

Spanish is a language of clinical care at Allina Health, not a supplemental accommodation. Diagnosis, treatment planning, and STI counseling are conducted in Spanish, meaning nothing about a patient's care is filtered through a secondary layer of translation.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

Allina Health carries hepatitis C treatment on-site alongside hepatitis B treatment, so a reactive antibody result feeds directly into a treatment relationship within the same system. Managing both infections under one provider eliminates the handoff gap between diagnosis and ongoing care.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel

Beyond the core four, Allina Health tests for herpes, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B. Infections the standard clinic panel often omits. That broader screen means a single appointment can surface exposures that a narrower workup would simply leave undetected.

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Brooklyn Park runs STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV) alongside same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, with fees sliding to income and Medicaid and private insurance both accepted. An appointment is required.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Planned Parenthood North Central States prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, with the follow-up HIV testing and check-ins that make long-term PrEP safe. Regular lab monitoring is built into the ongoing care, not handed off elsewhere. The clinic manages the clinical relationship from first prescription through continued use.

Confidential Minor Care Under Title X

Planned Parenthood North Central States holds Title X designation, which means minors can receive STI testing and family planning services with legal confidentiality. No parental billing trail, no guardian sign-off required. For a young person without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, that standing protection is built directly into every eligible service.

Interpretation Services Keep Care Complete

Without language support, a positive result can stall at the moment it matters most. Instructions misread, treatment skipped, follow-up missed. Planned Parenthood North Central States provides interpretation services for non-English languages so that the full clinical conversation, from diagnosis through treatment, reaches the patient accurately and completely.

Spanish and Interpretation Built Into Every Visit

Without on-site Spanish and interpretation access, a language barrier becomes a missed appointment, a misunderstood diagnosis, or a treatment plan that never gets followed. At Neighborhood HealthSource, Spanish-speaking staff and interpretation services are part of the visit itself, so medication adherence counseling and STI prevention education land clearly, the first time.

Herpes Testing Included, Not Added Later

Leaving herpes off a panel means a separate appointment, a separate lab, and days or weeks of uncertainty about a condition that affects how partners are protected. Neighborhood HealthSource tests for herpes alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. One visit, one complete picture.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 71 reviews

Hennepin Healthcare in Brooklyn Park tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and all three hepatitis strains on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone; appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish and Interpreted Care, Operationally Built In

Spanish speakers are served directly by staff, and interpretation is available for additional languages across every service Hennepin Healthcare offers: testing, treatment, PrEP counseling, and hepatitis management. That coverage extends to medication adherence education, where precision of language shapes whether a patient stays on a regimen.

PrEP and PEP Without the Extra Step

Chasing a PrEP prescription or a PEP course across two separate providers costs time and, sometimes, the window that makes treatment effective. Hennepin Healthcare holds both prescriptions in-house, so neither requires leaving and returning to a different facility to begin.

Hepatitis C Treatment Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Hennepin Healthcare carries hepatitis C treatment through to the prescription stage, direct-acting antivirals are initiated and monitored by the clinic's own providers rather than handed off after diagnosis. Hepatitis B treatment follows the same model, with ongoing medical management rather than a one-time test event.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Later

Leaving herpes or hepatitis B off a test order means returning to a second clinic, scheduling a separate appointment, and absorbing that cost again. Nucleus Clinic runs all seven (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) in a single visit, so nothing gets deferred.

Spanish-Language Care Without a Gap in Follow-Through

When a result, a treatment plan, or a prevention conversation has to pass through translation friction, details get lost and next steps go unfinished.

Annex Teen Clinic in Robbinsdale runs STI testing and treatment alongside ongoing prevention care (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV testing) on a sliding-scale fee with walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and PrEP and PEP available on-site.

Leaving Annex Teen Clinic without a prevention plan when you need one means starting over: finding a prescriber, waiting for another appointment, and carrying risk in the meantime. PrEP and PEP are both managed here directly, so that gap never opens.

Herpes Testing Included in the Standard Panel

Annex Teen Clinic tests for herpes in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, which means an infection that would otherwise go undetected and unaddressed gets named and treated in the same visit.

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 Anoka County tests for syphilis.

About Fridley, MN

Most Fridley households have someone working, the labor-force participation here runs high, which means the practical question for many residents isn't whether to get tested but *when*. Early-morning slots or appointments that don't require burning half a workday are the ones that actually get used, and with the listed options on this page, there's a real chance of finding a time that fits around a shift rather than sacrificing one. That matters especially for younger adults still sorting out careers, relationships, and routines. The years when STI rates run highest and regular screening is most valuable.

Fridley's households tend to run larger than the state average and skew toward families, which adds another layer: people here are often coordinating around partners, kids, and shared schedules rather than booking for themselves alone. Rent that stays below the metro median helps in some ways, but it also reflects the income pressure that makes a costly out-of-pocket test easy to defer. Getting around without a car in Fridley takes planning: University Avenue Northeast and Highway 65 are car corridors more than transit spines, and Long Lake Park or Springbrook aren't walking distance from much. Knowing which of the clinics sits closest to your regular route along Central Avenue Northeast, or offers telehealth for initial consultations, can be the deciding factor between a test scheduled this week and one that stays hypothetical through the rest of autumn.

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.
