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.

No lectures, no surprises in your medical record beyond what you choose to share. Same-day or next-day appointments are often possible for those who call ahead. Many people delay screening because they're unsure what to expect or worry about judgment.

Parshall's testing sites treat this as ordinary preventive health work, the kind you'd seek for any infection risk. If you've had unprotected contact, multiple partners, or simply want baseline peace of mind, reaching out to a provider listed on this page is the practical next step.

Confidentiality & consent in Colorado

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Colorado 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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Colorado, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Colorado 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.
