Rated 2.6 out of 5 from 20 reviews

Elbowoods Memorial Health Center in New Town runs by appointment, so scheduling ahead means a single visit covers the full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis) plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, vaccines, and STI counseling, all at no fee.

Read full overview Show less

No Fee Applies to Every Service Here

Elbowoods Memorial charges nothing for any service it provides, testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling. That means the scope of care a patient receives is determined entirely by clinical need, never trimmed to fit a bill.

Hepatitis C Treatment Completed On-Site

Hepatitis C treatment at Elbowoods Memorial is handled directly within the clinic rather than handed off to a specialist network. A patient diagnosed there can move from confirmed infection into a managed treatment course without changing providers or facilities.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel

Beyond the core four bacterial and viral infections, Elbowoods Memorial's panel includes herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C testing. Hepatitis C in particular is both tested and treated on-site, so a reactive result doesn't stall at diagnosis.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 10 reviews

Northland Health Centers in Coteau tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee open to all, by appointment, with Spanish and interpretation services on hand.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish and Interpretation Woven Into Every Visit

Northland Health Centers carries Spanish-language care and broader interpretation services as a standing part of how it operates: meaning anyone navigating STI testing, PrEP counseling, or treatment without English as a first language has a direct line into every part of the visit, not just the check-in desk.

PrEP and PEP Available, With Ongoing Support Built In

Northland Health Centers prescribes both PrEP and PEP, and pairs them with medication adherence education and counseling, so someone starting a prevention regimen leaves with the prescription and the practical knowledge to stay on it consistently.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Without a Second Appointment

Leaving a clinic with only the basic four results and a separate errand to chase herpes or hepatitis testing means gaps that can persist for months. At Northland Health Centers, herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C are part of the panel. One appointment closes what a narrower test would leave open.

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 Mountrail County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in North Dakota

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

Two things that actually depend on North Dakota 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 North Dakota, a minor aged 14 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)

North Dakota 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.
