Pathways of Pella delivers STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV) with every service free of charge and appointments required; bacterial infections are treated the same visit they're diagnosed.

Read full overview Show less

Every Test and Treatment Carries Zero Cost

Pathways of Pella runs its entire STI program without fees, no sliding scale, no partial charge, no cost at any point. That means the herpes swab, the hepatitis C draw, the HIV test, and any same-visit bacterial treatment are all covered at the same rate: nothing.

Herpes and Hepatitis C Tested Alongside the Standard Four

Where many panels stop at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Pathways of Pella adds herpes and hepatitis C. Both drawn and processed through the clinic itself. Herpes testing requires a specific sample collection method distinct from blood-based STI draws, and having that capability in-house means the full six-infection panel runs in a single appointment.

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 Iowa

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

Two things that actually depend on Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Iowa 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.
