How to read these listings

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health

No ratings yet

Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health in Scottsdale tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, and treats bacterial infections the same visit: all on a sliding scale with free HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing, walk-ins welcome, every service at no fee.

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

When cost sits between a person and follow-through (skipped treatment, a second visit that never happens, an infection that lingers) the gap is usually a bill. At Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health, every service, testing through treatment, carries no charge, so nothing interrupts the path from result to care.

ASL, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole on Staff

Most clinics hand off non-English speakers to a remote interpretation service, workable, but a layer removed from direct communication. Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health delivers care directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole, keeping the conversation between patient and provider without a third voice in the room.

PrEP and PEP Available, Keeping Prevention Continuous

Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP, which means a patient's prevention strategy, whether ongoing or time-sensitive, stays connected to the same clinic managing their testing and treatment rather than fragmenting across providers.

Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic in Phoenix brings its hospital-grade infrastructure to STI care, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes on a fee-based, insurance-accepted model. Medicaid and Medicare included. Appointments are required; bacterial infections are treated same visit. Services are available in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care Across Every Service

Spanish is a working clinical language at Mayo Clinic Phoenix, not a supplemental accommodation layered onto English-primary care. That means consultations, treatment discussions, and PrEP counseling all proceed in Spanish, preserving precision where medical nuance carries real weight.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Mayo Clinic Phoenix maintains a direct PrEP program for anyone seeking ongoing HIV prevention, particularly useful for people without a primary care provider already equipped to prescribe and monitor it. Initiation, follow-up labs, and dosing adjustments happen within the same clinical system.

Herpes Testing Alongside the Standard Four

Beyond HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, Mayo Clinic Phoenix tests for herpes. A specific addition that changes what a single appointment can actually rule out. Because herpes frequently goes undetected without a dedicated test, its inclusion means the panel produces a materially more complete picture.

Banner Health in Phoenix brings hospital-system depth to STI care: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, plus HIV, tested on a fee or insurance basis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. PrEP and PEP round out the prevention side.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where You're Already Tested

Prevention prescriptions are scarce at dedicated STI clinics, which typically test and treat but stop short of ongoing HIV prevention management. Banner Health in Phoenix handles both PrEP and PEP in the same clinical relationship that runs your panel: no separate provider to track down, no gap between diagnosis and protection.

Herpes and Hepatitis Woven Into the Standard Panel

The testing panel at Banner Health in Phoenix extends to herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside the core four. That range means conditions that often go undetected simply because they weren't ordered get caught in the same appointment.

Rated 3.2 out of 5 from 108 reviews

Arizona Pulmonary Specialists in Scottsdale requires an appointment, so visits are scheduled, and within a single one, the clinic covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated Here

Plenty of testing sites confirm a hepatitis C antibody and send patients elsewhere for the rest. Arizona Pulmonary Specialists in Scottsdale carries the full arc, antiviral treatment is delivered on-site, so a positive result doesn't open a second referral chain before care actually begins.

Hepatitis Testing Closes the Gap Basic Panels Leave

Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected means a treatable infection quietly advances, and the cost of that delay shows up in liver disease, not a missed appointment. Arizona Pulmonary Specialists includes hepatitis B and C testing alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel, so nothing requiring treatment goes unspotted at the first visit.

PrEP and PEP Managed Through the Same Practice

Arizona Pulmonary Specialists prescribes both daily oral PrEP and PEP, meaning ongoing HIV prevention medication, including the monitoring labs PrEP requires every three months, stays within the same clinical relationship rather than fragmenting across separate providers.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 276 reviews

RSG Healthcare in Phoenix accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees for everyone else, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, and hepatitis C. Bacterial infections treated same visit, by appointment.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Without a Primary Care Detour

RSG Healthcare carries PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP as standing prescribing services: meaning someone paying out of pocket with no established provider, or one who needs all three prevention tools assessed together, gets that conversation and prescription at the same appointment rather than being sent elsewhere to piece together a regimen.

Hepatitis C Treatment Prescribed and Monitored Here

When hepatitis C comes back reactive at RSG Healthcare in Phoenix, treatment doesn't leave the building. Direct-acting antivirals are prescribed and the sustained virologic response is monitored on-site, so the full treatment arc from confirmation through cure is managed by the same clinical team that ran the initial test.

Herpes and Hepatitis Round Out the Standard Panel

RSG Healthcare's panel runs to seven pathogens (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, and hepatitis C) which means a single appointment surfaces infections that a four-pathogen screen would leave undetected and clinically unaddressed.

Spanish-Language Care, Unfiltered by a Third Voice

Spanish speakers at Horizon Health and Wellness in Phoenix work directly with staff in Spanish, not through a relay, which means clinical details, dosing instructions, and follow-up plans land precisely the first time, without anything lost in the handoff.

Hepatitis B and C Tested Alongside the Core Panel

Horizon runs hepatitis B and C testing as part of its standard infectious-disease workup, alongside syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. Hepatitis B vaccination is also available on-site, so a reactive hepatitis B result can move immediately toward both documentation and immunization planning within the same visit.

STDs & HIV in Maricopa 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 Maricopa County tests for syphilis.

About Scottsdale, AZ

DC Ranch residents know the pattern well: long commutes into central Phoenix or packed calendars in Scottsdale's financial and tech corridors leave little room for appointments that feel optional until they aren't. That schedule pressure is real for the roughly three in eight households here that rent, often younger adults still forming relationships and building careers, exactly the people for whom a missed screening can quietly become a bigger problem.

Scottsdale's homeownership majority and a household profile that skews toward married couples with moderate family sizes can make the city read as settled and low-stakes on public health. But close to a quarter of residents fall in the years when STIs transmit most readily, and with nearly two in three adults participating in the labor force, the practical barrier is almost always time and distance, not awareness. A clinic visit that requires driving well outside the Pinnacle Peak corridor on a weekday morning is one many working adults simply defer.

That's where the range of options listed on this page matters. With twelve entries covering varied hours, cost structures, and locations in and around Scottsdale, someone living near Pinnacle Peak Heights or commuting along the roads that connect DC Ranch to the broader metro can find a slot that fits between shifts or before a late start, without treating the appointment as a separate errand carved out of an already compressed week.

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 Scottsdale 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 Arizona

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

Two things that actually depend on Arizona 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 Arizona, 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)

Arizona 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.
