Zero Cost Across Every Service Offered

For anyone managing care without employer coverage or a primary provider, The Center Clinic's fee structure holds regardless of what you need: HIV testing, STI testing, treatment, counseling, and prevention services all carry no cost. Nothing is conditionally free, the entire scope is covered.

Spanish-Language Care Closes the Treatment Gap

When STI care isn't available in Spanish, a diagnosed infection can go untreated simply because follow-up is too difficult to navigate. At The Center Clinic in Dodge Center, Spanish is part of the clinical conversation itself (counseling, treatment, and education included) so nothing falls through between the test and the follow-through.

Hepatitis B Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

For anyone without a regular provider who can't easily schedule separate appointments, The Center Clinic carries hepatitis B testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. All in one walk-in visit. No additional referral needed to complete a fuller picture of your sexual health.

STDs & HIV in Dodge County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Dodge County, the county that includes West Concord, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

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 Dodge County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Minnesota

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

Two things that actually depend on Minnesota 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 Minnesota, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Minnesota 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.
