A community safety-net rural health clinic about 9 miles from Long Grove. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Tests offered
MercyOne in Davenport charges on a sliding-scale fee and accepts insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: appointments required, with bacterial infections treated the same visit and PrEP and PEP available.
MercyOne carries both PrEP and PEP, and uninsured patients have a dedicated cost pathway for PrEP. That means the prescription, the monitoring labs, and the clinical relationship all stay in one place: no separate specialist, no gap between the medication and the care managing it.
MercyOne's standing capability runs from hepatitis C antibody test through to treatment, on-site. For someone without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, that matters: the path from diagnosis to curative medication doesn't require navigating a separate specialist or absorbing a second set of costs.
A panel that stops at chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis B and C undetected until symptoms force a second appointment. Often at a different clinic. MercyOne's broader panel closes that gap in a single visit, so nothing is deferred and no infection goes unnamed.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Scott County, the county that includes Long Grove, compare with Iowa 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.
#8 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 92% of the state
| Infection | Scott County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 539.4 940 cases ▲ 26% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 229 399 cases ▲ 96% | 116.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 14.9 26 cases ▲ 45% | 10.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.3 11 cases ▼ 32% | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8 14 cases ▼ 19% | 9.9 | 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 Scott County, chlamydia has fallen from 577.7 to 539.4 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 293.1 to 229 per 100,000 (22%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.4 to 14.9 per 100,000 (338%).

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 Scott County.
Local HIV snapshot
Scott County HIV care continuum (2023)
Scott County recorded 4.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Scott County residents living with HIV, 91% are in care · 85.3% 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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Eldridge's quiet cul-de-sacs and the tree-lined stretch near Schultz Park set the tone for Long Grove's daily rhythm: a community where the overwhelming majority of households are owner-occupied, most adults are married, and families average just over three people under one roof. That stability shapes how residents think about health: preventive care tends to feel like something scheduled around school pickups and weekend sports, not an urgent errand. With more than half of households earning above six figures and unemployment remarkably low, the practical barriers here aren't financial desperation. They're time and distance.
For younger adults still establishing their relationships and routines, people in their late teens and twenties who make up a meaningful slice of Scott County's STI caseload, that extra travel step is often what separates a scheduled appointment from one that keeps getting postponed. The good news: options appear on this page, spanning a range of hours and fee structures, so residents can match a visit to an actual opening in a genuinely busy week. Whether you're coming from Centennial Park or the Sheridan Meadows side of town, filtering by distance and then confirming hours before you leave home is the most direct first step.
Getting there

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 Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.
Iowa 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.
