A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Every Test, Every Visit, Zero Charge

Fee structures at many clinics leave gaps: a free test, a charged follow-up, or treatment billed separately. At Relate Care Clinic, every service carries no charge: testing, counseling, and STI treatment are all covered, full stop.

Hepatitis C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Plenty of STI clinics run gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV and leave hepatitis C to a separate appointment elsewhere. Relate Care Clinic adds hepatitis C testing to that same visit, so a fuller picture of your status doesn't require a second stop.

Rated 2.8 out of 5 from 62 reviews

Spectra Health in Grand Forks covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee that extends to every service at no charge.

Read full overview Show less

Every Service Runs on Zero Dollars

Sliding-scale clinics often carry a floor, a minimum charge that survives every discount. At Spectra Health, the scale goes to zero across the board: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, PrEP. None of it carries a residual charge for anyone who qualifies.

Spanish Care Without a Workaround

Spanish-speaking patients at many clinics end up navigating their care through patchwork solutions that sit outside the exam room. Spectra Health delivers services in Spanish directly, keeping the clinical conversation (history, results, treatment options) in the same language throughout.

Spectra Health maintains PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services: providers prescribe Truvada or equivalent regimens, oversee the required HIV and kidney-function labs at each follow-up, and manage adherence counseling in-house so the prescription and the monitoring stay connected.

Sanford Health

No ratings yet

Sanford Health in Grand Forks runs by appointment, so scheduling ahead is the move: once you're in, a single visit covers the standard panel for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV vaccination on a fee-based structure with Medicaid and Medicare accepted.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP at Sanford Health means a provider writes the prescription, tracks the follow-up labs (HIV testing every three months, kidney function and STI screening built into the cycle) and adjusts the regimen as needed. PEP is similarly managed in-house, not handed off.

Plenty of testing sites confirm a hepatitis C antibody result and leave the next step to the patient. Sanford Health in Grand Forks carries the whole arc (antibody test, confirmatory viral load, and the antiviral treatment itself) so a positive result doesn't become an open-ended referral chain.

Anyone managing their own care without a regular primary provider, or paying out of pocket and wanting a complete picture in one appointment, will find that Sanford's panel extends well past the bacterial STI basics to cover hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside TB, giving a broader clinical snapshot from a single scheduled visit.

Every Test and Treatment Carries Zero Cost

Every service at MyAlly Health (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP) is provided at no cost. That means the sliding scale lands at zero, and nothing on the care menu becomes a line-item decision.

Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality

MyAlly Health operates under Title X, which carries a specific legal consequence: family planning services provided to minors are confidential by federal mandate, not just by clinic policy. That distinction is built into the program's statutory structure.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

MyAlly Health prescribes and manages PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly. No separate prescriber needed. For someone without a regular provider or primary care relationship, that means the full prevention toolkit is reachable in one place, at no cost.

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.

Data & references

About Grand Forks, ND

Along North Washington Street, where rental signs outnumber for-sale listings and most households are occupied by people who haven't put down roots through a mortgage, Grand Forks carries the rhythm of a city in motion. The majority of residents here rent rather than own, and at the rent levels typical of this market, budgets are already stretched across utilities, groceries, and the long winters that define life on the Red River plain. That financial reality shapes how people weigh discretionary health spending, including whether a screening appointment feels doable or gets postponed another month.

The university presence pushes Grand Forks's under-35 population well above what most comparably sized cities see, and those are precisely the years when STI transmission is most active and when testing, if it's easy enough, actually happens. The labor-force here is large and active, which means a lot of people are working hours that make weekday daytime appointments genuinely inconvenient. Knowing which of those clinics offers evening or sliding-scale access, details laid out in the cards above, is the practical starting point for anyone near Tulane Park or anywhere else in the city deciding when to go.

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.
