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

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.
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.
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.
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.

Allina Health in Golden Valley covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A and B, and TB, treating bacterial infections at the same visit, with fees scaled to income and Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Appointments are required, and Spanish-language care is available on-site.
Clinics running a basic panel will test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, and stop there. Allina Health adds herpes and hepatitis A and B to the same visit, closing the gap between what gets caught and what gets missed when a narrower workup is the only option.
Allina Health in Golden Valley holds substance-use treatment as a standing service within the same practice, which means someone navigating both concerns doesn't have to coordinate care across separate systems. The two are addressed at the same clinic, without splitting the relationship between providers.
Without on-site Spanish capability, a visit can produce results that don't get explained clearly, and treatment that doesn't get followed through on. At Allina Health in Golden Valley, Spanish-language care is built into the clinical encounter itself, so nothing about a diagnosis or a treatment plan gets lost between languages.

MyHealth for Teens and Young Adults in Hopkins delivers STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and appointments required; all services carry no fee.
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 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.

Planned Parenthood North Central States in Minneapolis accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees for everyone else, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV testing. Appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Planned Parenthood North Central States in Minneapolis provides interpretation services for non-English languages across its full range of care: STI testing, treatment, PrEP counseling, and family planning. That coverage means clinical decisions, medication instructions, and follow-up plans are communicated directly, without a lag between the provider and the person receiving care.
As a Title X-funded clinic, Planned Parenthood North Central States is legally required to keep family planning services for minors confidential. Not as a policy preference, but as a condition of federal funding. That legal structure means a minor's visit, test results, and any related services cannot be disclosed without their consent.
Coordinating HIV prevention through a separate prescribing provider creates delays that undercut the whole point of time-sensitive medication. Planned Parenthood North Central States in Minneapolis prescribes both PrEP for ongoing prevention and PEP directly, keeping the clinical relationship, and the prescription, in a single place.

Hennepin Healthcare in Golden Valley prescribes both PrEP and PEP and manages the ongoing clinical work each requires, for PrEP, that means the baseline HIV and kidney-function testing, the prescription itself, and the regular monitoring visits that keep the regimen current; for PEP, the full treatment course is handled within the same clinic.
For anyone without a specialist or a primary care relationship to hand this off to, Hennepin Healthcare in Golden Valley is built to carry hepatitis C from diagnosis through antiviral treatment on-site.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hennepin County, the county that includes St. Louis Park, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 87 Minnesota counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Hennepin County | Minnesota | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 634 7,980 cases ▲ 67% | 379.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 301.9 3,800 cases ▲ 124% | 134.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 19.5 246 cases ▲ 124% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16.7 210 cases ▲ 149% | 6.7 | 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 Hennepin County, chlamydia has risen from 574.8 to 634 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 341.2 to 301.9 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 14.8 to 19.5 per 100,000 (32%).

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 Hennepin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hennepin County HIV care continuum (2023)
Hennepin County recorded 13.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hennepin County residents living with HIV, 80.2% are in care · 65.1% 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 Hennepin County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Cedar Lake East Beach draws residents from across St. Louis Park through summer, but the city's rhythm is less seasonal retreat than steady weekday grind. With more than three in four adults actively in the workforce and unemployment genuinely low, the practical question around STI screening isn't awareness, it's time and proximity. That workforce reality shapes who gets tested and when.
Nearly four in ten households here clear six figures, yet a meaningful share of residents, especially in rental-heavy stretches near Texa Tonka and along the Minnetonka Boulevard corridor, carry a $1,200-plus monthly rent obligation that makes out-of-pocket health costs feel consequential. For young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other infections circulate most actively, a clinic that requires rearranging a full workday can be reason enough to postpone. St. Louis Park's labor-force participation rate means most people here are balancing fixed schedules, not open calendars.
Several offer extended or weekend hours, and the range of fee structures means cost alone rarely has to be the barrier. Whether someone is heading down MN 7 after a shift or carving out a lunch window, the listed clinics in and around St. Louis Park are reachable without sacrificing half a workday to the commute.
Getting there
St. Louis Park scores 13.4/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In Minnesota, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
