No Fee Is the Actual Operating Model

Project Care Free Clinic runs entirely on a no-fee basis, not a sliding scale that bottoms out at zero, but a standing policy requiring no payment for any service offered. Donations are accepted, but the clinic's staffing and structure are built to deliver care without billing infrastructure at all.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Core Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Project Care Free Clinic's panel includes both hepatitis B and hepatitis C antibody testing, plus TB. Six distinct conditions tested in a single appointment. That breadth means a visit surfaces infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected.

STDs & HIV in St. Louis County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in St. Louis County, the county that includes Hibbing, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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 St. Louis County tests for syphilis.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Hibbing often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Minnesota

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

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.
