The nearest testing center is less than a mile away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Manhattan, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Riley County, the county that includes Manhattan, compare with Kansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~52% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#7 of 105 Kansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 93% of the state
| Infection | Riley County | Kansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 571.4 408 cases ▲ 26% | 453.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 70 50 cases ▼ 51% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.6 4 cases ▼ 59% | 13.5 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 12.6 9 cases ▲ 9% | 11.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 11.2 8 cases ▼ 36% | 17.5 | 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 Riley County, chlamydia has risen from 567 to 571.4 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 130.6 to 70 per 100,000 (46%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.8 to 5.6 per 100,000 (100%).
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 Riley County.
Local HIV snapshot
Riley County HIV care continuum (2021)
Riley County recorded 7.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 6.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Riley County residents living with HIV, 73.6% are in care · 43.4% 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 Riley County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Tuttle Creek Boulevard stretches far enough out of town that a clinic run can easily eat an hour of a workday, which matters in a place where most residents rent rather than own and monthly costs leave little slack for unplanned schedule disruptions. At $910 a month for a typical apartment, rent is a real line item, and with fewer than a quarter of households reaching six-figure income, an uninsured visit fee or a long drive to the nearest site listed here lands differently than it might in a wealthier college city. Manhattan's population skews young in a way that shapes everything from the coffee shops along Fort Riley Boulevard to the demand for after-hours appointments.
More than half the city is in the years when STI transmission is most common, and that concentration means testing access is less a niche concern than a basic public-health expectation. With nearly seven in ten residents in the workforce and just under a third of adults in married households, most people here are navigating relationships and busy schedules simultaneously. Routine screening slots into that life cleanly when the nearest option is genuinely reachable on a weeknight from wherever you're renting near Westwood Park or Rocky Hill.
Getting there
At 9.54/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Manhattan generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Kansas 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 Kansas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Kansas 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.
