Herpes and Hepatitis Panels Without a Separate Referral

People without a regular primary care provider, or those paying out of pocket and unwilling to make multiple trips, benefit from a clinic whose standing panel already includes herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C. Central Valley Indian Health builds the broader screen in from the start, so nothing requires a separate appointment elsewhere to complete.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares a Roof With STI Care

Clinics focused purely on sexual health typically hand off anyone dealing with substance use to a separate system entirely. Central Valley Indian Health carries both, substance-use treatment is a standing service alongside STI care, so two interconnected needs don't require two separate provider relationships.

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 Fresno County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in California

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

Two things that actually depend on California 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 California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

California 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.
