Every Service Runs at Zero Cost

The no-fee structure at Spectra Health applies across the board: testing, treatment, counseling, and prevention medications alike. Sliding scale and insurance are accepted, but the ceiling is zero: no service generates a bill regardless of coverage status, income documentation, or visit frequency.

Spanish-Language Care Is Fully Staffed Here

Spanish-language services at Spectra Health are embedded in the care itself: clinical conversations, counseling, and medication instruction happen directly in Spanish, not relayed through a secondary channel. That means sexual health history, treatment explanations, and follow-up guidance are conducted without a communication gap at any step.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Spectra Health prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP for people who want ongoing or immediate HIV prevention, particularly useful for anyone without a regular primary care provider who might otherwise struggle to find a clinic willing to initiate and monitor either medication. Both are handled in-house, not coordinated elsewhere.

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.

Confidentiality & consent in North Dakota

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

Two things that actually depend on North Dakota 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 North Dakota, 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)

North Dakota 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.
