Available testing centers

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Allina Health in Chaska is a full health system clinic where STI care sits alongside primary and specialty medicine: appointments required, fees billed to Medicaid, Medicare, or insurance, with a sliding-scale option, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Care is delivered in Spanish.
When language support isn't built into a clinic, a Spanish-speaking patient often leaves with unresolved questions and needs another visit, or doesn't return at all. At Allina Health Chaska, STI care including testing, counseling, and treatment is conducted in Spanish, so nothing is deferred to a follow-up that may never happen.
Separating STI care from substance-use support means two intake processes, two sets of wait times, and the real risk that the second appointment never gets made. Allina Health Chaska offers substance-use treatment alongside STI care, so both concerns are addressed in the same clinical relationship.
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or paying out of pocket and making one trip count, Allina Health Chaska tests for herpes and hepatitis A and B in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, covering exposures that a stripped-down panel would leave unexamined.

MyHealth for Teens and Young Adults in Hopkins delivers STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and appointments required; all services carry no fee.
Every service at MyHealth for Teens and Young Adults is provided at no charge, which means the full panel, treatment, PrEP, vaccines, and counseling are all available without a cost calculation entering the picture. That frees a visit to be about care, not about which services someone can afford to say yes to.
Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at myHealth, meaning a patient's primary language doesn't limit which services they can access, which questions they can ask, or how clearly they can weigh their options during a visit.
MyHealth for Teens and Young Adults carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services: useful for anyone who lacks a regular provider and needs prevention medication managed in one consistent place, rather than assembled across separate appointments and practices.

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Eden Prairie pairs family planning infrastructure with a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with appointments, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and interpretation services for non-English speakers.
Walk-in urgent-care and many standalone test sites hand off language access to a phone service that neither clinician knows how to use well. At Planned Parenthood North Central States, interpretation is coordinated as part of the visit itself, so the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and next steps happens with real fluency, not workarounds.
As a Title X-funded clinic, Planned Parenthood North Central States provides legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning a young person can access STI testing, treatment, and prevention without that care appearing on a parent's insurance or requiring guardian involvement.
The clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral for the medication itself. PrEP requires periodic HIV testing and kidney-function labs to stay on the regimen safely; the clinical staff at Planned Parenthood North Central States handles that monitoring, keeping the prescription and the follow-up care in the same place.

HealthPartners in Saint Louis Park pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia with testing for HIV, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: all on a sliding scale, with appointments required, and every service provided at no fee.
All care at HealthPartners carries zero cost to the patient, which means the sliding scale doesn't just reduce a bill, it eliminates it entirely, so nothing about what you can afford shapes which tests you get or which treatments you leave with.
HealthPartners prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, making it a standalone source for HIV prevention medication. Useful for anyone paying out of pocket or without an established provider who would otherwise write that prescription.
After a confirmed hepatitis C diagnosis, HealthPartners initiates antiviral therapy directly: prescribing direct-acting antivirals, monitoring viral load through treatment, and managing the full course in-house rather than handing care off to a specialist.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hennepin County, the county that includes Minnetrista, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~15% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 87 Minnesota counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Hennepin County | Minnesota | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 634 7,980 cases ▲ 67% | 379.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 301.9 3,800 cases ▲ 124% | 134.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 19.5 246 cases ▲ 124% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16.7 210 cases ▲ 149% | 6.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 27.6 348 cases ▲ 88% | 14.7 | 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 Hennepin County, chlamydia has risen from 574.8 to 634 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 341.2 to 301.9 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 14.8 to 19.5 per 100,000 (32%).

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 Hennepin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hennepin County HIV care continuum (2023)
Hennepin County recorded 13.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hennepin County residents living with HIV, 80.2% are in care · 65.1% 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 Hennepin County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Young adults drawn to Minnetrista often come for the lakes, Minnetonka's pull is strong, and stay because the town offers what feels like genuine quiet without isolation. The Mound neighborhood and nearby parks like Gale Woods Farm and Westonka Recreational Park anchor a community where most people own their homes and build lives here across decades. That stability is real, but it also means privacy carries weight in a place where neighbors tend to recognize each other's cars and routines. Testing for STIs in and around Minnetrista serves the young adults who've moved here during their twenties and thirties, alongside longtime residents' adult children and those in early families.
Confidentiality isn't negotiable in a town this rooted, it's essential. The clinics and health providers listed on this page understand that a person seeking screening may live blocks from their workplace, worship, or their kid's school, and they build their practice around that reality. Results stay confidential because that's both the law and the foundation of trust. Getting tested becomes straightforward when you know the clinic respects your privacy as a given, not a special favor, and when the busy working rhythm of Minnetrista life means appointments fit into actual schedules.
Getting there
At 9.55/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Minnetrista 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Minnesota 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.
