Read full overview Show less

Every Test, Every Visit, Zero Charge

Every service the department offers (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) carries no charge. That means a patient who tests positive for gonorrhea or chlamydia can receive treatment the same day without a bill waiting at the end of it.

Full Spanish Care, Not Just a Translated Form

Staff deliver care directly in Spanish, so conversations about symptoms, results, and next steps happen in a language that carries full nuance. That fluency keeps follow-through higher than when critical information has to travel through a third voice.

Hepatitis C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the department offers hepatitis C testing. A blood-borne infection that often goes undetected without explicit screening. Catching it here, alongside TB testing also on the menu, means fewer separate appointments to cover a complete picture.

Spanish Care Beyond a Translated Form

Spanish-language services at many clinics end at a form or a brief exchange, the clinical conversation itself stays in English. At Salud Family Health Centers, Spanish extends through the full encounter, so nothing about symptoms, treatment, or follow-up gets compressed into a second language.

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.

Access to testing near US 350 and within the county means you're never far from care.

Confidentiality & consent in Colorado

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

Two things that actually depend on Colorado 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 Colorado, 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)

Colorado 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.
