Harrison County Health Department in Bethany operates STI care through the county's public health infrastructure, pairing a rapid HIV test, syphilis, hepatitis C, and TB screening with HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines. All by appointment, all at no fee.

No Fee Means the Department Absorbs the Cost

Harrison County Health Department's no-fee structure is budget-line driven: the county funds the clinic's operations directly, so charges are never generated at the point of care. There is no billing department, no insurance verification step, and no balance produced after a visit. The cost is absorbed before anyone walks through the door.

Interpretation Services Are Operationally Staffed

Interpretation services for non-English languages are available across Harrison County Health Department's testing and vaccination services. Because appointments are required, language access is coordinated in advance. Meaning the arrangement is in place when the appointment begins, not improvised once someone arrives.

Hepatitis C Screening Sits Alongside the Core Panel

Beyond HIV and syphilis, Harrison County Health Department runs hepatitis C antibody testing on-site. The same appointment that covers standard STI screening can also capture hepatitis C status. That single visit produces results across both bloodborne and sexually transmitted infection categories without requiring a separate referral pathway.

Mosaic Life Care

No ratings yet

Mosaic Life Care in New Hampton accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with a standard fee schedule for others, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis C, and TB. Appointment required, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.

Prevention Prescriptions Beyond the Test Result

Sexual health clinics that stop at testing leave HIV prevention as someone else's job. Mosaic Life Care carries both PrEP and PEP in-house, meaning ongoing pre-exposure prescriptions and post-exposure medication are managed by the same clinical team running your panel.

Hepatitis C Joins the Standard Panel Here

Beyond the core four bacterial and viral STIs, Mosaic Life Care tests for hepatitis C and TB. Extending the panel to infection types. That means a single appointment in New Hampton captures both bloodborne and respiratory exposure without splitting the workup across separate referrals.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Daviess County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Pattonsburg, MO

Pattonsburg runs at a pace shaped by its rural spread: most errands mean a drive, and a clinic visit is no different. With the county's STI landscape in view and a notable share of residents in the late-teens-to-late-twenties years when transmission rates climb, that drive matters more than it might in a denser place. The options listed on this page number in the dozens, but reaching any of them means planning a trip out of town, which is real friction for someone working irregular hours or managing a household of nearly three people on a single income. The economic texture here adds another layer.

Unemployment runs noticeably high, and while most residents own their homes (a sign of rooted, longer-term households) a significant minority rent at some of the lowest rates in the region, suggesting tight monthly margins. When a paycheck is uncertain, a testing visit can feel like a logistics puzzle: time off, fuel, and any out-of-pocket cost all stack up at once. The page's clinic cards show fees and distance so those trade-offs are visible before anyone gets in the car. For Daviess County's younger adults especially, the most practical path is choosing an option listed here with extended or weekend hours, then treating the drive as a scheduled errand rather than an open question.

Confidentiality & consent in Missouri

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

Two things that actually depend on Missouri 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 Missouri, 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)

Missouri 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.
