Clinica Family Health in Lafayette tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers, appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care delivered in Spanish and Vietnamese.
Clinica Family Health conducts STI care directly in Spanish and Vietnamese: meaning clinical conversations, counseling, and treatment decisions happen in those languages from the first question to the last instruction, without an intermediary step between the patient and the provider.
Clinica Family Health carries standing prescribing capability for both PrEP and PEP, the daily prevention medication and the post-exposure course, which means someone without a regular provider, or one paying out of pocket on a sliding scale, can access either medication in a single appointment rather than navigating a separate prescriber.
Clinica Family Health's panel runs to five infections (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and herpes) where herpes testing is a named, scheduled component rather than an add-on, giving a more complete picture of viral and bacterial exposure in one appointment.

The City and County of Broomfield Public Health and Environment, Broomfield's public health department, runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, with Medicaid accepted alongside a standard fee option. Appointments cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Care also available in Spanish.
Spanish is a working clinical language at Broomfield Public Health: not a supplemental accommodation but the medium through which testing, counseling, treatment, and prevention education are actually delivered. That operational reality means every exchange, from explaining results to walking through PrEP eligibility, happens in Spanish without translation lag.
Broomfield Public Health prescribes and manages PrEP on-site, and carries a dedicated pathway for uninsured patients. Meaning someone without coverage or a regular prescriber doesn't need to source the medication elsewhere. PEP is also available, making the clinic a single point of contact for both ongoing and time-sensitive HIV prevention.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Boulder County, the county that includes Superior, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#21 of 64 Colorado counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 67% of the state
| Infection | Boulder County | Colorado | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 326.2 1,066 cases ▼ 25% | 435.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 74.4 243 cases ▼ 42% | 128.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.2 17 cases ▼ 67% | 16 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.4 8 cases ▼ 77% | 10.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.5 18 cases ▼ 81% | 28.4 | 29.5 |

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 Boulder County, chlamydia has fallen from 338.6 to 326.2 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 66.2 to 74.4 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 6.7 to 5.2 per 100,000 (22%).

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 Boulder County.
Local HIV snapshot
Boulder County HIV care continuum (2023)
Boulder County recorded 5.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Boulder County residents living with HIV, 63.4% are in care · 59.2% 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 Boulder County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Interlocken's mix of tech campuses and leased townhomes sets the tone for much of Superior: a city where the overwhelming majority of households are working, unemployment is minimal, and yet a meaningful share of residents are renters paying close to two thousand dollars a month to stay here. Those rent levels don't leave much slack in the monthly budget, which shapes how people think about discretionary health spending. Routine screening included. That financial pressure lands hardest on people in their late teens and twenties, who are also most likely to be in the years when STIs spread most readily. Superior's younger adults may be employed, but their schedules often track with the demanding work culture around Interlocken and the US 36 corridor.
Long commutes, variable hours, little room for a midweek clinic trip. With more than the testing options listed on this page, some offering sliding-scale or low-cost visits, the goal is to find whatever actually fits between the Davidson Mesa trail run and the Tuesday-night work deadline. The household picture here (large families, a high share of married couples, but also a sizable renter population cycling through) means sexual health intersects with a broad range of relationship contexts. Knowing your status is useful information in all of them, and the clinics accessible from McCaslin Boulevard make getting that information straightforward enough to happen on a regular basis.
Getting there
Superior scores 13.02/20 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 Colorado 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 Colorado, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Colorado 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.
