Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated On-Site

Many clinics confirm a hepatitis C diagnosis and then send patients elsewhere for treatment. At Intermountain Health in Provo, treatment is managed on-site. The care cycle closes where testing begins.

Hepatitis B and C Added to the Standard Panel

Plenty of testing sites run the four-infection core and nothing further. Intermountain Health adds hepatitis B and hepatitis C to every panel, catching infections that a shorter workup would simply miss.

Spanish-Language Care Staffed, Not Supplemented

Spanish-language services at Utah County Health Department are staffed into clinical care: meaning STI treatment, PrEP counseling, hepatitis management, and TB follow-up are conducted directly in Spanish, not routed through an ad hoc workaround. The language of care is the same as the language of the visit.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where Testing Happens

Prevention prescribing isn't a service that gets handed off elsewhere: Utah County Health Department writes PrEP and PEP directly, keeping the HIV-negative patient who needs either medication in the same clinical relationship that handles testing, counseling, and STI treatment.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Start to Finish Here

Utah County Health Department carries hepatitis C beyond antibody and RNA confirmation into on-site antiviral treatment, direct-acting agents are prescribed and monitored here, so sustained virologic response is tracked within the same clinic that made the diagnosis.

Spanish-Language Care Without a Relay

Canyon View Medical Group conducts STI care, counseling, and treatment conversations in Spanish as a direct clinical capability. That means medical history, medication instructions, and follow-up guidance are exchanged in Spanish without an intermediary layer, reducing the chance that dosing details or treatment timelines get lost.

Many testing-only practices hand off HIV prevention prescribing to outside providers, leaving a gap between a negative result and an actual prescription. Canyon View writes PrEP and PEP prescriptions in-house, so prevention medication is initiated and managed by the same clinical team handling your testing.

Herpes and Hepatitis Added to the Standard Panel

The panel at Canyon View extends past gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV to include herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and hepatitis C. infection pathways tested at a single appointment. Hepatitis B treatment is also available on-site, with vaccine series for hepatitis A and B offered alongside testing.

Spanish on Staff, Interpretation Beyond That

Spanish is a direct staff language at this location, and interpretation services extend care to speakers of additional languages beyond Spanish. That means clinical conversations (symptom history, medication instructions, prevention counseling) happen in the language someone actually uses, without routing through an outside service.

Title X Funds Confidential Care for Minors

As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah is legally required to keep reproductive and STI services for minors confidential. A statutory protection, not a policy choice. That funding also structures the sliding-scale fee system and underwrites family planning services site-wide.

For someone without a regular prescriber, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah holds the full prevention toolkit: daily PrEP for HIV, PEP, and DoxyPEP. The doxycycline-based post-exposure option for bacterial STIs. All three are prescribed and managed here, with sliding-scale fees applying to uninsured patients seeking PrEP.

Premier Family Medical in Lehi runs STI care through a family practice, pairing rapid and conventional HIV testing, full hepatitis panels, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia with same-visit bacterial treatment on a fee-based sliding scale, appointments required, with services available in French and Haitian Creole.

French and Haitian Creole Staffed Into Clinical Workflow

Language capacity at Premier Family Medical is integrated into the clinical encounter itself: providers and staff conduct consultations, treatment discussions, and medication adherence counseling directly in French and Haitian Creole, meaning nothing passes through a secondary channel before it reaches the person making decisions about their care.

Many STI clinics screen and treat but leave HIV prevention pharmaceuticals to outside providers. Premier Family Medical prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, keeping the full prevention-to-treatment arc within a single practice rather than splitting it across separate appointments.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Practice

Premier Family Medical treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a positive result moves directly into a treatment plan without requiring a separate specialist referral. Shortening the gap between diagnosis and the start of antiviral therapy.

STDs & HIV in Utah County: the local picture

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 Utah County tests for syphilis.

Data & references

About Provo, UT

The Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum anchors a campus corridor that feels genuinely unhurried, but getting to a clinic for STI screening can be a different story depending on where in Provo you land and how your week is structured. Most residents here rent rather than own, and at typical rent levels the budget margin for unexpected health costs is narrow. With fewer than one in five households reaching six-figure income, out-of-pocket fees matter in a real, practical way.

Provo's labor-force participation is high and household sizes are on the larger side, meaning schedules tend to be full and shared, and a single car may serve multiple people across multiple commitments. An appointment that requires a dedicated drive out along University Parkway or US 189, possibly into another city, asks more of a resident's day than it sounds. That pressure lands hardest on the young adults who form the overwhelming majority of Provo's population, people in their late teens and twenties who are most likely to benefit from routine screening and least likely to have flexible time or robust coverage. For a renter paying close to the city's typical monthly rent, a free or income-scaled visit listed here is not a small detail; it is often the deciding factor in whether an appointment gets made at all.

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 Provo 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 Utah

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

Two things that actually depend on Utah 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 Utah, 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)

Utah 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.
