Sunrise Community Health in Evans runs on scheduled appointments, so a single visit is planned around you: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid and Medicare, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Care is delivered in Spanish.
Beyond the four-pathogen baseline, Sunrise Community Health tests for herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Three infections that routine panels routinely leave out. That breadth means a single appointment resolves questions about six distinct pathogens rather than sending you elsewhere for the gaps.
Sunrise Community Health provides STI care directly in Spanish, not through a supplemental service, but as a native capacity of the clinic. For Spanish-speaking patients, that means clinical history, test counseling, and treatment discussions all happen in the same language across the full appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Weld County, the county that includes Platteville, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~35% 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.

Local context
A trip to Riverview Park or a Saturday errand along Highway 85 gives Platteville residents a sense of the town's steady rhythms, the kind of place where families build lives across decades and households often span generations under one roof. That stability shapes how people think about health decisions too. Young adults in particular, whether they've grown up here or moved in to start a family, need straightforward access to confidential STI testing without the weight of small-town visibility. The providers and clinics listed on this page serve Platteville and the surrounding area with that reality in mind.
Testing sites in and around Platteville recognize that asking for a screening, whether routine or after a concern, deserves privacy that feels genuine, not just promised on paper. Many residents value knowing exactly where they stand with their sexual health, especially as relationships shift or new partnerships begin. The difference between a clinic that treats testing as one more checkbox and one that understands the particular vulnerability of seeking answers in a place where you know people can matter deeply. Whether you're scheduling a first screening, following up on exposure, or building preventive care into your annual routine, the tested providers available in and around Platteville are equipped to handle your visit with the discretion and straightforward care that lets you move forward.

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.
