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.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Later
Skipping herpes or hepatitis testing means leaving Somerton without answers, and often returning weeks later to a separate lab, paying again, and waiting again. Sunset Health folds herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB into the same appointment, so nothing gets deferred to a second visit.
Spanish-Speaking Care Without the Gap
When a diagnosis lands in a language you're still translating in your head, details get dropped. A dosing schedule misread, a follow-up question never asked. Sunset Health delivers care directly in Spanish, so the clinical conversation stays whole from the first question to the treatment plan.

HIV Testing Leads to Ongoing Funded Care
Testing alone is where many public clinics stop, a result handed over without a path forward for those who need HIV care. Yuma County Public Health Services District holds Ryan White funding, which means a positive result doesn't end the clinical relationship; it opens one, with treatment and ongoing management supported through that program.
Herpes Testing Joins the Standard Panel
The clinic runs herpes testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Meaning a single appointment produces results across five infection categories. Herpes screening requires a specific lab order distinct from the bacterial panel, so having it staffed and ordered here keeps a clinically complete picture within one visit structure.

Sunset CHC, Inc. Yuma Site serves Yuma residents who are between providers, paying cash, or working with limited income. Exactly the people a federally qualified health center's sliding-scale structure is built for. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening, with fees adjusted to what you can afford.
Amistad Clinic in Yuma charges a set fee and accepts insurance for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis testing, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections. Appointments are required, and PrEP is on the care menu alongside full HIV management.

Tenofovir and Emtricitabine Are Already on the Formulary
Amistad Clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral needed to initiate or continue either regimen. PrEP requires routine HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and that follow-up care happens within the same practice, keeping the prescription and its required labs connected.
Hepatitis C Gets Treated Here, Not Just Flagged
Many clinics run a hepatitis C antibody test and then send patients elsewhere for anything further. Amistad Clinic carries the full arc, diagnosis through antiviral treatment, so a reactive result leads to a treatment plan within the clinic rather than a handoff to an unfamiliar provider.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Somerton, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among Yuma County residents living with HIV, 61.1% are in care · 54.5% are virally suppressed.

Pregnant or planning to be?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 Yuma County tests for syphilis.

Amistad Estates sits close enough to Council Avenue Park that residents can walk the kids over on a weekday evening, yet reaching a clinic for something as routine as an STI screening still means getting on US 95 and driving out of Somerton entirely. That access gap matters most for the younger adults here, people in their late teens and twenties whose relationships and testing needs are most active, because a trip that requires a vehicle, gas, and carved-out time becomes easy to defer.
The household picture adds texture to that practical reality. With two-thirds of residents owning their homes and average households running close to four people, this is a community built around families, and more than half of adults are married. Yet unemployment runs high enough that many households are managing carefully on one income, and with fewer than one in twelve households clearing six figures, a clinic visit with any out-of-pocket cost is a real calculation, not a trivial one. The options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost providers precisely because that calculation matters here.
Venezia and Rollow face the same road reality: US 95 is the way out, and the listed options range across a drive of varying length depending on which clinic fits a given budget or schedule. Checking hours and fees for the nearest listed site before heading up County 16th Street is the single most useful first move from Somerton.

Confidentiality & consent in ArizonaMinor 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.
