MercyOne in Davenport charges on a sliding-scale fee and accepts insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: appointments required, with bacterial infections treated the same visit and PrEP and PEP available.
MercyOne carries both PrEP and PEP, and uninsured patients have a dedicated cost pathway for PrEP. That means the prescription, the monitoring labs, and the clinical relationship all stay in one place: no separate specialist, no gap between the medication and the care managing it.
MercyOne's standing capability runs from hepatitis C antibody test through to treatment, on-site. For someone without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, that matters: the path from diagnosis to curative medication doesn't require navigating a separate specialist or absorbing a second set of costs.
A panel that stops at chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis B and C undetected until symptoms force a second appointment. Often at a different clinic. MercyOne's broader panel closes that gap in a single visit, so nothing is deferred and no infection goes unnamed.

The Project of the Quad Cities in Moline runs the full bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment when results call for it, alongside rapid and conventional HIV testing and hepatitis B and C screening, all at no fee to anyone who walks in.
Every service The Project of the Quad Cities provides (testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, harm reduction) carries no charge, and that extends directly to hepatitis C treatment, meaning a chronic, manageable infection doesn't stall at diagnosis for lack of funds.
Spanish-language care at The Project of the Quad Cities is staffed directly, so counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment conversations happen in Spanish with clinic personnel, not routed through a separate service, and interpretation for other languages is coordinated on-site as well.
The Project of the Quad Cities holds Ryan White Program funding, which means someone without a regular HIV provider or insurance can receive not just testing but ongoing antiretroviral treatment and medication adherence support. Care that continues well past a single appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Rock Island County, the county that includes Rock Island, compare with Illinois and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#13 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state

| Chlamydia | 542.4 766 cases ▼ 3% | 557.7 | 492.2 |

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 Rock Island County, chlamydia has risen from 474.9 to 542.4 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 225.3 to 191.9 per 100,000 (15%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.1 to 13.5 per 100,000 (229%).

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 Rock Island County.
Local HIV snapshot
Rock Island County HIV care continuum (2023)
Rock Island County recorded 11.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Rock Island County residents living with HIV, 83.5% are in care · 78.1% 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 Rock Island County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Rock Island tilts toward owners, nearly two in three households hold the deed, but the renters who make up the remaining third tend to cluster in the city's more transient stretches, and it's that population, younger adults still sorting out relationships and living situations, who most need screening to be genuinely reachable. A $729 monthly rent in a market where home values barely clear six figures tells you cost pressure is real; when budgets are tight, a clinic visit can sit on the back burner for months unless the options are affordable and close enough to fit a weekday off or a lunch break. Getting to a clinic near US 67 or out along IL 5 toward Blackhawk Road almost always means arranging a ride or a car, not stepping out the door. With unemployment running notably above the national average, a sizable share of residents face unpredictable schedules and stretched finances simultaneously.
Two things that together make low-cost, appointment-flexible testing not a luxury but a baseline requirement. Roughly three in eight adults here are married, but the majority aren't, and the stretch of younger adulthood, from late teens through the mid-twenties, is exactly when relationship patterns shift most. The clinics listed on this page cover enough of the city's geography that someone in the Broadway Historic District or out near Milan doesn't have to treat a test as a major errand.
Getting there
At 8.4/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Rock Island 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 Illinois 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 Illinois, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Illinois 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.
