Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment in Greeley tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit. Sliding-scale fees apply, and all services are provided at no fee.
For anyone paying cash, without a regular provider, or stretching a tight budget, Weld County Public Health's standing policy is straightforward: every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP) is provided at no fee. That coverage extends to the full visit, not a selected tier of it.
Many clinics handle non-English speakers reactively, with whatever workaround is available that day. Weld County Public Health in Greeley offers Spanish-language services and interpretation for other languages as a built-in appointment feature, so clinical conversations don't get compressed or lost in the middle.
Weld County Public Health carries both PrEP and PEP, and PrEP costs are explicitly covered for uninsured patients. Meaning the medication, not just the counseling, is financially accessible. That makes ongoing HIV prevention sustainable rather than dependent on finding outside coverage.

Sunrise Community Health in Greeley is an appointment-based community health center where a single visit covers the full STI panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and vaccines for HPV and hepatitis A and B, on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. With care delivered in Spanish.
Many clinics handle Spanish by patching in a third party mid-appointment, which fragments the conversation at exactly the moments that require the most precision. At Sunrise Community Health, Spanish is a language of primary care. Meaning the clinical exchange itself, not just the paperwork, happens in Spanish.
For anyone without a regular provider, Sunrise Community Health's panel reaches further than the core four: herpes and both hepatitis B and C are tested on-site. That breadth means a single appointment can surface infections that would otherwise go undetected simply because a clinic's menu didn't include them.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Weld County, the county that includes Pierce, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#17 of 64 Colorado counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 73% of the state
| Infection | Weld County | Colorado | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 343.3 1,234 cases ▼ 21% | 435.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 66.5 239 cases ▼ 48% | 128.7 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 3.9 14 cases ▼ 62% | 10.4 | 16 |

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 Weld County, chlamydia has fallen from 417 to 343.3 per 100,000 (18%), gonorrhea has fallen from 126.5 to 66.5 per 100,000 (47%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4 to 6.1 per 100,000 (52%).

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 Weld County.
Local HIV snapshot
Weld County HIV care continuum (2023)
Weld County recorded 5.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Weld County residents living with HIV, 77.2% are in care · 70.5% 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 Weld County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pierce's rhythm follows the seasons and the land, agriculture, equipment repair, construction crews who know the value of preventive maintenance. That same mindset carries into health: residents here tend to plan ahead, whether it's for their families or themselves. STI testing in and around Pierce reflects that practicality. Clinics listed on this page offer straightforward screening without the weight of judgment, and the confidentiality built into these visits holds firm.
Young adults in particular (those in their late teens through thirties navigating work, relationships, and independence) find routine testing a straightforward part of staying healthy. The people who settle in Pierce often stay, building lives across decades. That stability means neighbors' business stays private; what you discuss with a clinic stays there. Testing appointments can be scheduled around work shifts and family obligations, with results returned discreetly to you alone.
Access to screening near Pierce removes the friction of distance or delay. Whether you're due for a routine check or have a specific concern, the providers available in the area understand that confidentiality and convenience matter equally. Testing is a practical step, not a crisis. The kind of care that fits into a life lived deliberately.

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