Rated 3.2 out of 5 from 17 reviews

Valley Health Team in San Joaquin provides free HIV and STI testing, with all services on a sliding-scale fee and Medicaid and insurance accepted. Appointments are required for the full panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs on Zero Billing

Free testing at Valley Health Team isn't a carved-out program for select services, billing across the entire visit, from TB testing to STI treatment to hepatitis vaccines, is structured so that no charge clears. Sliding scale and insurance acceptance sit alongside that baseline, but the operational default is no cost.

Spanish Is a Primary Clinical Language Here

Spanish-language care at Valley Health Team is embedded in clinical delivery: counseling, medication adherence education, and prevention services are conducted in Spanish directly, which means the substance of exposure history discussions, treatment instructions, and follow-up guidance reaches patients without compression or delay.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four

Valley Health Team's panel adds herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C testing to the core bacterial and HIV workup: each with a corresponding care pathway, since hepatitis A and B vaccines are administered on-site and TB treatment runs through the same clinic, keeping detection and response within one appointment structure.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be? 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 Fresno County tests for syphilis.

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

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In California, a minor aged 12 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)

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.
