Tests offered
Coffey County Health Department in Burlington tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections when needed, on a sliding scale open to everyone, and both HIV and STI testing are free.
The no-fee structure here isn't a waiver patients apply for: it's built into how the health department allocates public funding, so every visit, every test, and every treatment clears at the counter without a balance attached. That operational reality holds regardless of insurance status or income documentation.
As a Title X site, Coffey County Health Department provides family planning services to minors with the legal confidentiality that designation requires. Meaning billing and records don't loop back to a parent or guardian, which keeps younger patients in control of their own care decisions.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic also tests for hepatitis C, so a single appointment captures both common bacterial infections and a viral one that often goes undetected without a specific prompt to screen for it.

#76 of 105 Kansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 28% of the state
| Infection | Coffey County | Kansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 133.3 11 cases ▼ 71% | 453.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 48.5 4 cases ▼ 66% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 13.5 | 15.8 |

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 Coffey County, chlamydia has fallen from 287.1 to 133.3 per 100,000 (54%), gonorrhea has fallen from 95.7 to 48.5 per 100,000 (49%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 12.1 to 12.1 per 100,000.

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 Coffey County.
Local HIV snapshot
Coffey County HIV care continuum (2023)
Coffey County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Coffey County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 60% 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 Coffey County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
New Strawn's economy turns on cattle operations and grain storage, work that moves early and keeps people focused on the immediate task. That rhythm (up before dawn, checking stock, tallying yields) doesn't leave much room for health appointments that feel uncertain or awkward. Routine STI screening fits naturally into the same practical mindset: get the information you need, act on it, move forward. The clinics and providers listed on this page understand that straightforward approach and offer testing without ceremony.
A steady number of young adults live and work in New Strawn, from those just starting out to people in their early thirties establishing themselves here. For this age group especially, confidential screening is ordinary preventive care, not a flag or a crisis. Knowing your status (whether you're partnered, single, or navigating a new relationship) removes guesswork and keeps you grounded. Testing happens in and around New Strawn with real privacy built in.
Results don't circulate through town talk, and you won't run into clinic staff at Jackrabbit Hill or the Dog Park and feel exposed. The arrangement is between you and the provider, period. That separation between your health decisions and your visible life is how screening actually works in a place where most people know who you are.

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.
