Health Care for the Homeless in Casper takes walk-ins for a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV) plus hepatitis A, B, and C and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding scale that runs to zero.
Health Care for the Homeless tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel. That breadth means a single visit produces a complete picture of bloodborne and liver-affecting infections, so nothing requires a separate appointment elsewhere.
Substance-use treatment is a standing service at Health Care for the Homeless in Casper, not a periodic referral. Clinicians managing STI care can coordinate directly with substance-use staff, which means both conditions are tracked and treated within the same clinical relationship.
Health Care for the Homeless operates with a fee structure that reaches a floor of zero, not for a subset of services, but across the entire visit. HIV testing, hepatitis panels, TB screening, STI treatment, and substance-use care are all covered under that same structure, with no line items excluded.

Rocky Mountain Infectious Diseases in Casper runs by appointment, so every visit is structured around your actual care needs: HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and services delivered in Spanish.
Many infectious-disease clinics route Spanish-speaking patients through an interpreter line that sits outside the clinical conversation. At Rocky Mountain Infectious Diseases, care (counseling, treatment decisions, follow-up) is delivered directly in Spanish, keeping nothing at arm's length.
Rocky Mountain Infectious Diseases prescribes both PrEP and PEP for HIV prevention, which means ongoing risk reduction is managed by the same clinicians who handle your testing and infectious-disease care. No separate prescription source to coordinate.
A positive hepatitis C test without an on-site treatment pathway means a second appointment, a new provider relationship, and weeks of potential delay during which the virus continues advancing. Rocky Mountain Infectious Diseases closes that gap entirely, diagnosis and full treatment are managed within the same practice in Casper.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Natrona County, the county that includes Red Butte, compare with Wyoming and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~8% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#3 of 23 Wyoming counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Natrona County | Wyoming | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 452.8 362 cases ▲ 45% | 313.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 75.1 60 cases ▲ 78% | 42.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.5 2 cases ▲ 14% | 2.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.5 6 cases ▲ 295% | 1.9 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8.8 7 cases ▲ 73% | 5.1 | 29.5 |

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 Natrona County, chlamydia has fallen from 559.1 to 452.8 per 100,000 (19%), gonorrhea has fallen from 97.6 to 75.1 per 100,000 (23%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 7.5 to 2.5 per 100,000 (67%).

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 Natrona County.
Local HIV snapshot
Natrona County HIV care continuum (2021)
Natrona County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 4.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Natrona County residents living with HIV, 87% are in care · 80.4% 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 Natrona County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Red Buttes Village carries the quiet self-sufficiency of a place where most households own their homes outright and nearly half of adults are raising families together under the same roof, a community where the rhythms of work and home life run deep. With labor-force participation notably high and unemployment remarkably low, most residents here are putting in long days, often on schedules that don't bend easily around a weekday appointment. That reality shapes something practical: when routine health screening competes with a full work week, it tends to lose. That matters most for Red Butte's younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties navigating new relationships during the years when STI rates nationally climb sharpest.
Getting tested isn't complicated by motivation here; it's complicated by distance. A household budget anchored by a mortgage rather than month-to-month rent still feels the weight of a $1,119 rental market nearby, and that cost pressure is a quiet reminder that free or low-cost testing is worth seeking out. From Sunny Acres Park, a quick look at this page's clinic list is the most direct next step.
Getting there
At 7.76/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Red Butte generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Wyoming 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 Wyoming, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Wyoming 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.
