Summit Community Care Clinic in Frisco covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and rapid or conventional HIV testing. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Every service runs on a sliding-scale fee, and appointments are required.
The sliding-scale structure at Summit Community Care Clinic is calibrated so that no income level produces an out-of-pocket bill, the bottom of the scale is zero. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance are also accepted, meaning the mechanism works whether you're billing a payer or not.
Spanish is a working language at Summit Community Care Clinic, spoken directly during care. Not patched in from outside. For languages beyond Spanish, interpretation services are available, so clinical conversations about PrEP dosing, test results, or treatment options can happen in full, regardless of language.
Summit Community Care Clinic operates under Title X federal family planning designation, which legally mandates confidential services for minors. Not as a policy choice but as a compliance requirement. That means a minor's STI testing, contraception, or PrEP discussion is protected from disclosure without any additional opt-in step.

Mountain Family Health Centers in Avon runs on a sliding scale open to all, with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted. Appointments cover the standard bacterial and viral panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, plus hepatitis A, B, and C) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP on-site.
Without a clinic that holds both PrEP and PEP in-house, a patient can end up bouncing between a testing site and a separate prescriber. A gap that costs time and sometimes the prescription itself. Mountain Family Health Centers in Avon closes that loop, managing both prevention medications directly so the prescription doesn't stall between providers.
Mountain Family Health Centers tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and viral STI panel. Meaning a single visit can catch a hepatitis infection before it advances to the point where treatment becomes significantly more complex.

Denver Health in Winter Park tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted; bacterial infections can be treated the same visit, and appointments are required.
Plenty of clinics cap their panel at the four bacterial and viral basics, leaving herpes and hepatitis C to a separate specialist visit. Denver Health tests for both, herpes and hepatitis C included, alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with on-site hepatitis C care rather than a separate referral chain.
PrEP at Denver Health isn't a prescription handed off without follow-through: clinicians manage the ongoing HIV testing, kidney-function monitoring, and refill cycle that a PrEP regimen requires. Uninsured patients have a dedicated cost pathway, and PEP is also available for post-exposure HIV prevention.
Many clinics handle Spanish only through ad hoc workarounds that leave clinical nuance on the table. Denver Health delivers STI care directly in Spanish: counseling, testing, and treatment conducted in the language, not summarized through it.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Summit County, the county that includes Silverthorne, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#12 of 64 Colorado counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 81% of the state
| Infection | Summit County | Colorado | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 364.4 111 cases ▼ 16% | 435.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 52.5 16 cases ▼ 59% | 128.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.3 1 cases ▼ 79% | 16 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.3 1 cases ▼ 68% | 10.4 | 16 |

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 Summit County, chlamydia has risen from 273.7 to 364.4 per 100,000 (33%), gonorrhea has fallen from 54.7 to 52.5 per 100,000 (4%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 9.7 to 3.3 per 100,000 (66%).

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 Summit County.
Local HIV snapshot
Summit County HIV care continuum (2022)
Summit County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Summit County residents living with HIV, 73.2% are in care · 65.9% 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 Summit County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
In the heart of Summit County, residents of Silverthorne's neighborhoods, such as those living near Ptarmigan Peak, balance work and family life. Many households are made up of married couples with multiple family members, reflecting the town's strong family-oriented atmosphere. With a significant portion of the population holding down jobs, the demands of work schedules can make it challenging to prioritize health screenings.
The local economy is robust, with a substantial share of households earning high incomes and many residents actively contributing to the workforce. However, this also means that finding time for health appointments can be tough. For those renting homes, managing costs, including a typical monthly rent, is a regular concern. This can add another layer of complexity to scheduling screenings. Despite these challenges, the variety of testing options in and around Silverthorne makes it easier for residents to find a convenient time and place.
As residents travel along CO 9 (Blue River Parkway) or stroll through Trent Park, they can appreciate the importance of accessible health services. With a range of options listed, Silverthorne residents can find a testing location that fits their busy lives, whether they're heading to work or spending time with family in Town Park or near Dillon Marina Park.

Two things that actually depend on Colorado 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 Colorado, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Colorado 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.
