Prevention Prescriptions Come From This Clinic

Hawaii Island Community Health Center carries both PrEP and PEP as standing services, meaning ongoing prevention medication is something the clinic initiates and manages directly. For patients in Naalehu, that means a prescription relationship, and the follow-up labs that sustain it, without leaving the community health system.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel

For anyone without a regular specialist or managing care largely out-of-pocket, Hawaii Island Community Health Center's expanded panel (covering herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C in addition to HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) means a single appointment surfaces a fuller picture of what needs attention and what doesn't.

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 Hawaii County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Hawaii

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

Two things that actually depend on Hawaii 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 Hawaii, 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)

Hawaii 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.
