Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Jamestown, CA. The nearest, Sonora Community Hospital, is about 1.8 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

A community safety-net rural health clinic about 2 miles from Jamestown. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Tests offered
MACT Health Board in Sonora requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks the full visit: HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, plus TB. Bacterial infections treated same day, fees on a sliding scale, Spanish spoken on staff.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis untested means booking a separate visit elsewhere, paying again, and waiting again for results that should have come the first time. MACT Health Board tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core bacterial panel. One scheduled visit closes those gaps rather than opening new ones.
For someone without a regular provider who needs both STI care and substance-use support, coordinating two separate programs often means one goes unaddressed. MACT Health Board carries substance-use treatment as a standing service, so both needs can be engaged through a single clinical relationship in Sonora.
When a diagnosis or treatment plan gets communicated imprecisely, the gap doesn't close at checkout: it shows up as a missed dose, a misunderstood follow-up, or an untreated partner. At MACT Health Board, Spanish-language care is delivered directly, so nothing critical gets lost between the exam room and the door.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tuolumne County, the county that includes Jamestown, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#51 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 12% of the state
| Infection | Tuolumne County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 167.9 91 cases ▼ 66% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 42.4 23 cases ▼ 78% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.2 5 cases ▼ 44% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.4 4 cases ▼ 61% | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 25.8 14 cases ▼ 45% | 46.7 | 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 Tuolumne County, chlamydia has fallen from 214 to 167.9 per 100,000 (22%), gonorrhea has fallen from 113.3 to 42.4 per 100,000 (63%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 12.6 to 9.2 per 100,000 (27%).

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 Tuolumne County.
Local HIV snapshot
Tuolumne County HIV care continuum (2020)
Tuolumne County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Tuolumne County residents living with HIV, 63.6% are in care · 50% 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 Tuolumne County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Jamestown's name honors early settlers who staked claims during the gold rush, and that spirit of self-reliance still marks the community today. Most residents own their homes outright and stay put for decades, building deep ties to the foothills and to each other. That rootedness creates a particular dynamic around health decisions: people value both privacy and the assurance that care happens close by, without fanfare or long travel. A significant population of young adults, people in their late teens through their thirties, lives throughout Jamestown and the surrounding area.
For this age group especially, STI screening offers peace of mind and clarity without drama. Testing in and around Jamestown listed on this page reflects the town's modest, affordable character; providers understand that confidentiality and straightforward access matter as much as cost. The Mother Lode Fairgrounds and Woods Creek Rotary Park anchor community life, and healthcare follows the same practical, low-key spirit. Whether someone's new to the area or multigenerational here, seeking screening is treated as routine preventive care.
Nothing that defines you or gets discussed at the market. That discretion, paired with real local resources, is what makes testing feel manageable.
Getting there
At 2.91/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Jamestown 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 California 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 California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
California 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.
