Fees & payment
Utah Navajo Health System in Tonalea weaves STI care into broader community health, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB, with sliding-scale fees, walk-ins welcome, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Many prevention programs stock PrEP and stop there, leaving PEP and DoxyPEP to specialists elsewhere. Utah Navajo Health System prescribes all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure management, and DoxyPEP to reduce bacterial STI risk after potential exposure.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic tests for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB. Meaning a single visit can surface chronic infections that otherwise go undetected for years and quietly affect treatment decisions down the line.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Coconino County, the county that includes Tuba City, compare with Arizona and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#4 of 15 Arizona counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 73% of the state
| Infection | Coconino County | Arizona | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 600.1 867 cases ▲ 9% | 552.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 138.4 200 cases ▼ 27% | 190.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 22.8 33 cases ▼ 5% | 24.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 24.9 36 cases ▲ 1% | 24.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 67.1 97 cases ▲ 21% | 55.3 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Coconino County, chlamydia has risen from 575.5 to 600.1 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 159.9 to 138.4 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 25.5 to 22.8 per 100,000 (11%).

Local HIV snapshot
Coconino County HIV care continuum (2023)
Coconino County recorded 8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Coconino County residents living with HIV, 77.1% are in care · 68% 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 Coconino County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Tuba City is predominantly a homeowning community, nearly three in five households hold their property, yet the roughly four in ten who rent do so at rates well below what most Arizona cities see, a reflection of how tightly economic life here is bounded. Those relatively modest housing costs don't mean cash flows freely: with just over half the adult population actively working and unemployment running noticeably high, discretionary spending is limited, and a clinic visit can feel like a line-item decision rather than a routine errand. Large household sizes, averaging well over four people per home, mean that privacy and scheduling around shared vehicles and family obligations are real considerations, especially along US 160 or AZ 264 where distances between services stretch out across open desert. For younger adults in their late teens and twenties living in Lower Moenkopi or elsewhere in town, the math of a long drive plus time off work plus a co-pay can quietly add up to postponement.
That's the population where untreated infections concentrate fastest, and it's also the group most likely to be piecing together work hours and ride logistics simultaneously. The testing options listed here, many of them low- or no-cost, exist precisely because Tuba City's geography and workforce realities don't lend themselves to spontaneous medical errands. Knowing which clinic near the Western Navajo Nation Fairgrounds or along Navajo Trail matches your schedule and your budget is half the battle.
Getting there
At 5.21/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Tuba City generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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 Arizona 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 Arizona, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Arizona 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.
