Hepatitis Testing Backed by On-Site Treatment

The clinic runs hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing alongside its STI panel, staffed to move from a reactive result into active hepatitis B management without leaving the facility: vaccination, monitoring, and treatment are all held within the same practice.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Building with STI Care

Substance-use treatment is available at Indian Health Service in Browning alongside STI services, which means a patient whose drug or alcohol use is relevant to their sexual-health picture can address both at the same visit rather than carrying an unresolved piece of their care elsewhere.

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.

Confidentiality & consent in Montana

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

Two things that actually depend on Montana 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 Montana, 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)

Montana 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.
