Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 115 reviews

Allina Health in Shakopee brings STI testing into a full-service health system, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, appointment required, and services available in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four

People without a regular provider (and those who want a single visit to resolve real uncertainty, not just satisfy a checkbox) will find that Allina Health tests for herpes and hepatitis A and B in addition to the core bacterial and HIV panel. That range means fewer gaps to track down elsewhere and a clearer clinical picture from one appointment.

Substance-Use Treatment Lives in the Same Building

STI-focused clinics typically address infection and little else, leaving patients to navigate a separate system for substance-use concerns that often intersect with sexual health. Allina Health in Shakopee carries both, so those conversations happen with the same clinical team rather than through a disconnected referral chain.

Full Clinical Care Conducted in Spanish

Allina Health in Shakopee delivers care directly in Spanish: meaning clinical history, test explanations, and treatment decisions happen in a patient's primary language with the provider, not through a workaround. For Spanish speakers without a regular doctor, that standing capability makes this a logical first call.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 from 37 reviews

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Eden Prairie pairs family planning infrastructure with a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV) on a sliding-scale fee with appointments, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and interpretation services for non-English speakers.

Read full overview Show less

Live Interpretation, Not a Language Line

Walk-in urgent-care and many standalone test sites hand off language access to a phone service that neither clinician knows how to use well. At Planned Parenthood North Central States, interpretation is coordinated as part of the visit itself, so the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and next steps happens with real fluency, not workarounds.

Title X Confidentiality Extends to Minors Here

As a Title X-funded clinic, Planned Parenthood North Central States provides legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning a young person can access STI testing, treatment, and prevention without that care appearing on a parent's insurance or requiring guardian involvement.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

The clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral for the medication itself. PrEP requires periodic HIV testing and kidney-function labs to stay on the regimen safely; the clinical staff at Planned Parenthood North Central States handles that monitoring, keeping the prescription and the follow-up care in the same place.

Valley Medical and Wellness in Burnsville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid and most insurers. Bacterial STIs and hepatitis B are treated on-site, and appointments are required.

Live Interpretation Across Non-English Languages

Valley Medical and Wellness has interpretation services available for non-English-speaking patients, meaning clinical conversations (exposure history, treatment plans, follow-up instructions) are handled through a live interpreter rather than approximated. Accurate communication at that level directly shapes whether a treatment course is understood and followed.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Added to the Core Panel

Beyond the standard four, Valley Medical and Wellness tests for hepatitis A, B, and C in the same visit, and treats hepatitis B on-site, so a positive result moves directly into a managed care plan without routing patients elsewhere for the next step.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 56 reviews

Hennepin Healthcare in Richfield runs on sliding-scale fees with Medicaid and private insurance accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care delivered in American Sign Language, Spanish, and additional interpreted languages.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Stay Together

A hepatitis C diagnosis that ends at the antibody test sends patients chasing a second provider, a second intake, and weeks of delay before antiviral therapy starts. At Hennepin Healthcare, treatment follows diagnosis in the same clinical relationship. The gap between knowing and actually getting better doesn't open.

Hennepin Healthcare prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning patients leave with an active prevention plan rather than pending paperwork. That continuity keeps the window between decision and medication as short as possible.

ASL and Spanish Aren't Bolted On Here

Many clinics treat non-English and Deaf patients as edge cases, routing communication through intermediaries that slow and flatten a clinical conversation. Hennepin Healthcare delivers care in American Sign Language and Spanish directly, and interpretation is available for other languages, so the exchange between patient and provider carries the same precision it would in any other visit.

Every Test and Treatment Costs Nothing Here

When testing reveals a bacterial infection, the next step is treatment, and at First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield, that step never generates a separate bill. No service here carries a charge, so the gap between diagnosis and care closes at the same visit, not across multiple appointments driven by what someone can afford.

Spanish Speakers Get Direct Care, Not Brokered Communication

Many clinics handle Spanish by patching in an outside service, which puts distance between a patient and their provider at exactly the moment clarity matters most. First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield delivers care directly in Spanish, so nothing about the conversation gets filtered or delayed.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel

First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield runs herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C tests alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: a range that serves anyone without a regular provider who needs a thorough baseline, or who wants to rule out infections that a shorter panel would simply leave unaddressed.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost

Every service at MyHealth for Teens and Young Adults is provided at no charge, which means the full panel, treatment, PrEP, vaccines, and counseling are all available without a cost calculation entering the picture. That frees a visit to be about care, not about which services someone can afford to say yes to.

Interpretation Services Support Every Appointment

Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at myHealth, meaning a patient's primary language doesn't limit which services they can access, which questions they can ask, or how clearly they can weigh their options during a visit.

MyHealth for Teens and Young Adults carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services: useful for anyone who lacks a regular provider and needs prevention medication managed in one consistent place, rather than assembled across separate appointments and practices.

STDs & HIV in Scott County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Scott County, the county that includes Prior Lake, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

Data & references

About Prior Lake, MN

Eagle Creek sits comfortably behind well-kept driveways and mature yards, the kind of neighborhood where most households own their home and have for years. That stability shapes a lot about Prior Lake: large family households, a majority of adults who are married, and a high labor-force participation rate that keeps schedules genuinely full. When most of the adults around you are working, paired up, and managing a household larger than the state average, a weekday clinic visit can feel like a logistical puzzle rather than a simple errand. Getting around compounds that.

Whether you're heading from Bluff View toward Lakefront Park or cutting across from the Wilds. That drive-everywhere reality means STI screening competes with everything else on a packed calendar, and for younger adults still building relationships and sexual health habits, the compounding effect of distance and time is real. The testing options listed here exist precisely to reduce how much any one barrier can derail a decision that's already been made in principle. Prior Lake's relatively low unemployment and strong household incomes don't erase the scheduling math.

Even households doing well financially can find that a test simply doesn't happen if the clinic hours don't bend to meet a full workweek. Knowing which of the options opens earliest, or offers a Saturday slot, is the detail that moves a plan off MN-13 and into an actual parking lot.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Prior Lake often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Minnesota

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

Two things that actually depend on Minnesota 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 Minnesota, 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)

Minnesota 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.
