Planned Parenthood Mar Monte in North Highlands takes walk-in visits for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, with sliding-scale fees and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections: all on a Title X foundation, with care available in Hindi, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
Services here run in Hindi, Spanish, and Vietnamese, with interpretation available for additional languages beyond those three. That breadth means clinical conversations (about test results, medication instructions, prevention options) happen directly in four named languages, not funneled through a separate service after the fact.
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte is legally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors. Not as a courtesy policy but as a federally mandated structural feature. That funding mechanism is what makes the confidentiality guarantee enforceable, not discretionary.
For anyone without a primary care provider or seeking prevention medication in one place, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site. No outside referral is needed to start or maintain either medication, the prescribing capacity lives within the same clinic handling testing.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Sacramento County, the county that includes McClellan Park, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#16 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 72% of the state
| Infection | Sacramento County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 461 7,303 cases ▼ 6% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 198.9 3,151 cases ▲ 5% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 19.3 305 cases ▲ 18% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 13.2 209 cases ▼ 31% | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 36.5 578 cases ▼ 22% | 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 Sacramento County, chlamydia has risen from 460.3 to 461 per 100,000 (0%), gonorrhea has fallen from 283.5 to 198.9 per 100,000 (30%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 24.8 to 19.3 per 100,000 (22%).

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 Sacramento County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Sacramento County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Sacramento County HIV care continuum (2023)
Sacramento County recorded 13.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Sacramento County residents living with HIV, 83.7% know their status · 80.5% are in care · 73% 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 Sacramento County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
The Aerospace Museum of California anchors McClellan Park's northeastern edge, and the converted military buildings along Roseville Road, including the repurposed structures of Building 251 and Building 232, give the community a distinctly functional, workaday character. Every resident here rents, and at rents that land well below regional norms, the population skews toward people managing tight margins rather than discretionary spending. With only about one in twenty households clearing six figures, an out-of-pocket lab fee can genuinely tip the calculus on whether someone follows through on screening.
Large household sizes and a low labor-force participation rate shape the rhythms of daily life in ways that matter for healthcare access. Many adults here juggle caregiving alongside sporadic or part-time work, and with unemployment running meaningfully higher than state averages, schedules are often unpredictable in both directions: too busy with household demands one week, suddenly free the next. Young adults in their twenties and early thirties make up a substantial share of McClellan Park's population, and that's the window when STI exposure tends to peak, making routine testing less optional than it sounds.
Getting there
McClellan Park scores 14.1/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
