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

Tests offered
Bothwell Regional Health Center in Sedalia tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Appointments are required, and bacterial STIs can be treated the same visit.
Bothwell tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C in addition to HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Meaning a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unmanaged.
Without access to both PrEP and PEP at the same site where you test, prevention can stall: one gap in coverage, one delayed prescription, and the window closes. Bothwell carries both, so the path from testing to an active prevention plan doesn't depend on a second provider.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pettis County, the county that includes Green Ridge, compare with Missouri and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#40 of 115 Missouri counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 65% of the state
| Infection | Pettis County | Missouri | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 296.3 129 cases ▼ 41% | 498.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 48.2 21 cases ▼ 76% | 201.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 13.8 6 cases ▼ 36% | 21.5 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.2 4 cases ▼ 26% | 12.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 20.7 9 cases ▼ 39% | 33.8 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Pettis County, chlamydia has fallen from 404.8 to 296.3 per 100,000 (27%), gonorrhea has fallen from 139.6 to 48.2 per 100,000 (65%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.3 to 13.8 per 100,000 (500%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Pettis County.

Pettis County HIV care continuum (2020)
Pettis County recorded 19.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 10.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Pettis County residents living with HIV, 75.8% are in care · 69.7% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Pettis County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
City Park sits at the quiet center of Green Ridge: a town where most households own their homes, families run large by current national norms, and a solid majority of adults are married. That stable, rooted character shapes daily life here, but it doesn't change the underlying reality that a meaningful share of residents are in their late teens and twenties, the years when STIs spread most readily and when regular screening does the most preventive good. What does shape access is geography. With most households running on working-adult hours and unemployment affecting a real slice of the labor force, that scheduling window can be narrow.
The options listed on this page span a range of costs and hours, which matters in a community where rent stays modest but not every household has flexibility to burn a weekday morning. The Katy Trail's highest point draws people through the area, a reminder that Green Ridge connects outward even when daily life feels self-contained. If you're already planning a trip along that corridor, pulling up the nearest clinic listed here and booking ahead (before the drive, not after) is the most direct path from intention to appointment.
Getting there
At 4.62/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Green Ridge generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Missouri 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).
In Missouri, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Missouri 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.
