A safety-net rural health clinic about 14 miles from McCune. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Tests offered
Public Health of Labette County, in Parsons, brings the full weight of a county health department to STI care: conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C testing alongside same-visit bacterial treatment, by appointment, all at no fee.
Without a regular provider or insurance to absorb lab costs, STI testing can quietly become something people postpone. Public Health of Labette County's standing policy covers every test and every treatment visit at no charge, for anyone, regardless of coverage or income.
Skipping herpes or hepatitis C from a standard panel means a second appointment, a second copay, and a gap in what you actually know. Public Health of Labette County tests for both alongside the core four, so one visit closes the picture rather than opening a follow-up chain.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Crawford County, the county that includes McCune, compare with Kansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 105 Kansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 95% of the state
| Infection | Crawford County | Kansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 616.6 239 cases ▲ 36% | 453.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 118.7 46 cases ▼ 18% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.6 1 cases ▼ 81% | 13.5 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 20.6 8 cases ▲ 78% | 11.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 15.5 6 cases ▼ 11% | 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 Crawford County, chlamydia has risen from 559.4 to 616.6 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 220.7 to 118.7 per 100,000 (46%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.6 to 2.6 per 100,000.
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 Crawford County.
Local HIV snapshot
Crawford County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Crawford County residents living with HIV, 77.8% are in care · 63% 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 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 Crawford County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 400 cuts through McCune the way most daily life does here, purposefully, without detour. More than three-quarters of residents own their homes, and the majority of households are anchored by married couples with family sizes that run slightly above the Kansas average. In a town built around that kind of settled, interdependent structure, health decisions often get made collectively. Around schedules, around shared vehicles, around whether a weekday morning can be freed up at all.
With a meaningful share of working-age adults outside the labor force and unemployment nudging above the state norm, time and transportation can be harder to coordinate than they look on paper. That reality shapes how STI screening fits, or doesn't, into a given week. Crawford County's rates aren't abstract; they reflect what circulates among real neighbors and extended families. Young adults in their late teens and twenties, though a smaller slice of McCune's population than in larger Kansas cities, still fall squarely in the years when new partnerships are most common and routine testing is most consequential.
For someone living in a household where budgets stay tight, typical rents and home values here leave little cushion, the range of fee structures among the listed clinics matters. Crawford County's STI figures make clear that staying current isn't precautionary in the abstract; it reflects what's genuinely circulating in this part of southeast Kansas.

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 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.
