Family Healthcare Main Street Clinic in Saint George operates under federal FQHC designation, meaning fees slide with income and no one is turned away for inability to pay. Walk-ins welcome for STI screening covering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

Desert Edge Medical in St. George delivers testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on an appointment basis, with fees billed on a sliding scale accepted by insurance, same-visit treatment available for bacterial STIs, and full services conducted in Spanish.
Desert Edge Medical carries out the entire clinical encounter in Spanish (history, counseling, treatment decisions) without routing through a secondary service. For someone managing HIV, navigating hepatitis treatment, or starting PrEP without a regular English-speaking provider, that direct fluency is the difference between partial understanding and real informed consent.
Desert Edge Medical prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing renal and HIV monitoring for daily oral PrEP regimens happens within the same practice, not outsourced to a separate prescriber. Continuity of that monitoring cycle is what keeps a PrEP prescription clinically safe over time.
Clinics that test for hepatitis C but lack treatment capacity leave patients holding a diagnosis and little else. Desert Edge Medical closes that gap, antiviral treatment for hepatitis C is managed on-site, so a confirmed infection moves directly into a treatment plan rather than stalling at detection.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Ivins, compare with Utah and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 29 Utah counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 83% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Utah | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 275.6 558 cases ▼ 14% | 322 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 48.9 99 cases ▼ 37% | 77.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3 6 cases ▼ 69% | 9.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 0.5 1 cases ▼ 90% | 4.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.9 16 cases ▼ 19% | 9.7 | 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 Washington County, chlamydia has risen from 269 to 275.6 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has risen from 41 to 48.9 per 100,000 (19%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.7 to 3 per 100,000 (76%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2023)
Washington County recorded 8.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 73.5% are in care · 63.6% 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Santa Clara Drive cuts through the quieter western edge of Washington County where Ivins sits close to the Kayenta neighborhood's red-rock surroundings, and for most residents here, reaching a clinic means a deliberate trip rather than a quick detour. The community's profile adds texture to what screening access means in practice. With more than four in five households owning their homes and most adults married, Ivins reads as an established, settled place, but that stability doesn't erase the need for routine STI care, especially for the younger adults here who are still navigating new relationships and who fall squarely in the years when these infections circulate most actively.
Washington County's STI figures make that clear enough on their own. Labor-force participation running below the national norm means a meaningful share of residents work part-time, run households, or are semi-retired, which shapes when and how people can realistically get to an appointment.
Getting there
At 7.8/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Ivins generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Utah 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 Utah, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Utah 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.
