A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

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.

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 3.8 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.

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.

First Care Pregnancy Center in Richfield pairs family planning with a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C) by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Every test and service carries no fee.

Read full overview Show less

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.

HealthPartners in Saint Louis Park pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia with testing for HIV, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: all on a sliding scale, with appointments required, and every service provided at no fee.

Every Service Runs Without a Bill

All care at HealthPartners carries zero cost to the patient, which means the sliding scale doesn't just reduce a bill, it eliminates it entirely, so nothing about what you can afford shapes which tests you get or which treatments you leave with.

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Primary Care Provider

HealthPartners prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, making it a standalone source for HIV prevention medication. Useful for anyone paying out of pocket or without an established provider who would otherwise write that prescription.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

After a confirmed hepatitis C diagnosis, HealthPartners initiates antiviral therapy directly: prescribing direct-acting antivirals, monitoring viral load through treatment, and managing the full course in-house rather than handing care off to a specialist.

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.

About Savage, MN

Riverside Fields feels like the kind of neighborhood where garage doors close by eight and kids ride bikes past Community Park until the light goes, settled, suburban, built around the long rhythms of homeownership. Most households here have equity in the ground beneath them, and the majority are married-couple families sharing a roof with kids or relatives. That kind of domestic stability is genuinely good for a community, but it can also mean that solo appointments feel like they require a reason. Something concrete enough to carve time from a full house and a full workweek.

Getting tested in Savage takes a car and a plan. County Road 42 and Highway 13 South are the arteries everything runs along, and without sidewalks threading to a clinic, a quick screening becomes an errand that competes with pickup lines and evening commitments. The labor force here punches hard, nearly four in five residents are working, which means weeknight and Saturday availability matters as much as location. Cost is less the obstacle when a majority of households clear six figures, but schedule is real.

Younger adults in Savage (people in their late teens and twenties still sorting out relationships, bodies, and health coverage) are exactly who routine STI testing protects most. The options listed here include extended hours and sliding-scale fees; the only move left is picking one before Highway 13 gets its first Monday backup.

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.
