North Country HealthCare in Show Low requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks a full visit: rapid and conventional HIV testing, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C.

Spanish Spoken Through Every Step of Care
North Country HealthCare conducts care in Spanish, which means counseling, treatment decisions, and follow-up conversations happen in the same language, cutting out the lag and imprecision that trails behind interpretation.
HIV Diagnosis Here Doesn't End at the Lab
Without Ryan White-funded support, a positive HIV result can stall into disconnected steps. A specialist elsewhere, a coverage gap, months of navigating cost. At North Country HealthCare, that funding anchors HIV care from initial testing straight through ongoing medical treatment, in a single clinical home.
Hepatitis C Prescribing and Monitoring Done Here
Hepatitis C treatment at North Country HealthCare means direct-acting antivirals are prescribed and treatment progress is monitored on-site, clinical staff manage the full course rather than handing the diagnosis off for someone else to act on.

4951 South White Mountain Rd Building A, Show Low, AZ 85901
Navajo County Public Health Services District in Show Low runs on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB: with bacterial STI treatment and TB care on-site, by appointment, and services available in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care, No Intermediate Step
Without Spanish-language care built into the visit itself, a language gap at Navajo County Public Health Services District could mean a missed detail in a treatment plan or a question about symptoms that never gets asked. Here, the clinical encounter runs in Spanish: meaning the conversation about dosing, follow-up, and risk doesn't depend on a workaround to land accurately.
Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Standard Panel
Skipping hepatitis from an STI panel means a patient who leaves without that result may carry an undetected chronic infection for months before another provider catches it. Navajo County Public Health Services District tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so that gap doesn't open in the first place.
Indian Health Service in Whiteriver takes walk-ins for STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV) alongside TB screening, family planning, and same-visit bacterial treatment, all at no fee on a sliding scale.

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost
For anyone without a regular provider or insurance, Indian Health Service in Whiteriver is the rare clinic where every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) carries no charge. There is no tier, no copay conversation, and no service withheld because of payment.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Building
For someone managing both an STI and a substance-use concern, Indian Health Service in Whiteriver holds substance-abuse treatment and STI care in the same clinical setting. That means a single visit can address both without navigating separate providers, referrals, or scheduling gaps between them.
Herpes and Hepatitis C Tested Here Directly
Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis C undetected. Infections that carry real clinical consequences when they go unnamed. Indian Health Service in Whiteriver tests for both on-site, so a visit here closes gaps that a narrower panel would leave open.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?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 Navajo County tests for syphilis.

The rhythm of Lake Of The Woods turns on seasons: ski season draws workers and visitors, the summer brings families to the mountains, and year-round residents tend to their homes and small businesses with the steadiness that comes from staying put. That stability means most people here build lives they plan to keep, and part of keeping healthy is knowing where to turn when questions about sexual health arise. Testing in and around Lake Of The Woods is available through providers listed on this page, offering the confidentiality that lets people get screened without the weight of small-town visibility. Young adults who've settled here or are passing through, those in their late teens through early thirties, often find their first real reason to seek screening when they start a new relationship or after a change in circumstance.
The clinics and urgent care sites serving the area understand that discretion matters; what you discuss with a provider stays in that room, and results don't travel through the community grapevine. Testing itself is straightforward and quick. Whether you live near Jack Barker Memorial Park or along the quieter stretches of AZ 260, the process is the same: a conversation with a nurse or clinician, a test, and follow-up contact with results. Many residents find that taking a few minutes for screening gives them peace of mind and lets them move forward without doubt.

Confidentiality & consent in ArizonaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Arizona 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 Arizona, 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)
Arizona 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.
