Zero Cost, Every Service, No Exceptions

Leaving a clinic with an unpaid bill, or skipping one because of the anticipated bill, is how treatable infections stay untreated. At Dawson County Health Department, every service on the visit, from the rapid HIV test to STI treatment, carries no fee, full stop.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Later

Going somewhere that tests only the basic four means a second appointment, and a second chance to walk away, if herpes or hepatitis C turns out to be the real concern. Dawson County Health Department tests for herpes and hepatitis C in the same visit, closing that gap before it opens.

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 Dawson County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Montana

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

Two things that actually depend on Montana 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 Montana, 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)

Montana 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.
