United Health Centers Clovis Shaw, in Clovis, earns its federally qualified health center designation partly by tying STI screening fees to each patient's income: meaning syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing stays within reach regardless of what someone earns or whether they carry insurance.

Fees & payment
Clinica Sierra Vista in Fresno tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee structure, with Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance all accepted. An appointment is required, and confirmed bacterial infections are treated the same visit.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis B undetected means carrying an unmanaged infection, and finding another clinic willing to test for them means another appointment, another fee, another wait. Clinica Sierra Vista runs the full panel in-house, so herpes and hepatitis B and C are part of the same visit, not a gap you patch later.
When a provider can't conduct a visit in Spanish, the cost lands on the patient: details get compressed, questions go unasked, and follow-through on treatment is weaker. At Clinica Sierra Vista, care is delivered in Spanish, not routed through an add-on, so nothing critical gets lost in the exchange.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fresno County, the county that includes Tarpey Village, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Fresno County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 701.6 7,136 cases ▲ 43% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 203.4 2,069 cases ▲ 7% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 24.1 245 cases ▲ 48% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 18.4 187 cases ▼ 4% | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 60.7 617 cases ▲ 30% | 46.7 | 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 Fresno County, chlamydia has risen from 555.6 to 701.6 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has fallen from 244.7 to 203.4 per 100,000 (17%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 17.3 to 24.1 per 100,000 (39%).

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 Fresno County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fresno County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fresno County recorded 21.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fresno County residents living with HIV, 82.6% are in care · 72.5% 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 Fresno County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Agriculture and family farming anchor Tarpey Village's identity, with many households managing orchards and fields across multiple generations. That same commitment to long-term stewardship extends to health: residents who have built lives here understand that routine STI screening fits naturally into preventive care, especially for young adults in their late teens through thirties who are sexually active. Testing in and around Tarpey Village is listed on this page and remains confidential, a straightforward step that doesn't require explanation to anyone else in your household or workplace. Larger family structures mean shared homes and limited privacy in some situations, which is precisely why confidentiality in testing matters. Clinics and urgent care facilities serving the area keep screening results separate from any other medical record shared within families, and they don't contact employers, schools, or relatives.
You control who knows what. Whether you live closer to Clovis or near Melody Park, East Ashlan Avenue, or another part of the village, getting tested takes minimal time and no advance planning. Many people schedule screening during a routine visit for something else, or make a dedicated appointment that fits their schedule. Early detection and treatment are most effective when screening happens regularly, not as a crisis response, but as part of staying well.
Getting there
Tarpey Village scores 11.61/20 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.

Two things that actually depend on California 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 California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
California 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.
