Henderson Wellness Clinic in Henderson pairs rapid and conventional HIV testing with a full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) on a sliding scale, with walk-ins welcome and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. All services are provided at no fee.
Henderson Wellness Clinic charges nothing for any service it provides: testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, PEP, or counseling. That means the full scope of care is available without weighing one service against another or deferring anything to a later visit.
Fragmented prevention care means delays, a PrEP prescription from one provider, PEP from another, DoxyPEP from a third. Henderson Wellness Clinic prescribes and manages all three, so none of those pieces requires a separate appointment elsewhere.
When a hepatitis C test comes back reactive at Henderson Wellness Clinic, treatment doesn't move off-site. Clinicians prescribe direct-acting antivirals and monitor viral response through the treatment course, keeping the full clinical workup (genotyping, liver function, follow-up labs) within the same practice.

Triduum Health Care in Las Vegas runs STI care on a sliding-scale fee, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, TB, and hepatitis A, B, and C, by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and staff who work in French and Spanish.
Triduum Health Care carries out consultations, test counseling, and treatment planning in both French and Spanish. For someone without a regular provider who needs to give an accurate, detailed health history, that capacity means nothing gets lost or abbreviated when it matters most.
Triduum Health Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means prevention medication is part of the clinical conversation rather than a separate errand. Keeping the path from decision to prescription short.
Triduum Health Care's panel reaches herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV tests. A meaningful advantage for anyone without a primary care physician who needs a thorough baseline rather than a partial picture.

Community Outreach Medical Center in Las Vegas charges on a sliding-scale fee and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With Spanish and interpretation services available for non-English speakers.
Community Outreach Medical Center conducts visits in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, which means counseling on DoxyPEP dosing, PrEP adherence, or a reactive result happens in the language a patient reasons in. Keeping the clinical detail intact rather than flattened by translation gaps.
Many prevention programs stop at PrEP and PEP, leaving DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline protocol for bacterial STI prevention, off the table entirely. Community Outreach Medical Center prescribes all three, giving patients and their providers a fuller set of options to match actual exposure patterns.
The testing panel at Community Outreach Medical Center extends to herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and HIV screens: six additional pathogens whose status directly shapes treatment decisions, vaccination eligibility, and long-term management planning.

FirstMed Health and Wellness in Las Vegas accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with a sliding-scale fee for everyone else. Appointments are required for testing that spans gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
FirstMed's testing roster is built around seven pathogens rather than the standard four. Herpes serology and hepatitis C antibody testing are ordered through the same appointment as the core bacterial and HIV workup, no separate referral to an outside lab or a second scheduling loop required.
Substance-use treatment at FirstMed operates within the same clinical record as STI care, meaning a prescribing provider can address both simultaneously: monitoring for drug interactions, adjusting treatment protocols, and coordinating follow-up without splitting care across separate programs or clinicians.

Nevada Health Centers in Henderson runs appointments for the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV) treating bacterial infections the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid and private insurance, with Spanish and interpretation services on hand.
Nevada Health Centers in Henderson maintains Spanish-language capacity directly in the clinic and live interpretation for other languages: meaning a patient's exposure history, PrEP counseling, and treatment instructions are communicated in the language they arrived in, not relayed afterward through a separate service.
Prevention prescriptions, both daily PrEP and PEP, are issued and managed at Nevada Health Centers in Henderson directly. Many STI clinics test and treat infections but stop short of HIV prevention prescribing, leaving patients to source those medications through a separate provider.
Beyond the standard bacterial quartet, Nevada Health Centers tests for herpes simplex and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) with hepatitis A and B vaccines available in the same clinic. That breadth means one appointment can resolve questions across infections that typically require separate specialist referrals.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clark County, the county that includes Whitney, compare with Nevada and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 17 Nevada counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Clark County | Nevada | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 537.7 12,563 cases ▲ 9% | 493.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 246.9 5,768 cases ▲ 21% | 204.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 23.7 554 cases ▲ 4% | 22.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 27 631 cases ▲ 24% | 21.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 65.9 1,539 cases ▲ 16% | 56.9 | 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 Clark County, chlamydia has risen from 498.1 to 537.7 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has risen from 218.5 to 246.9 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 27.1 to 23.7 per 100,000 (13%).

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 Clark County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Clark County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Clark County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clark County recorded 25.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 21.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clark County residents living with HIV, 82.5% know their status · 72.6% are in care · 62.6% 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 Clark County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Whitney Ranch's quiet cul-de-sacs and the stretch of East Tropicana Avenue running past Maslow Park suggest a neighborhood that settled in decades ago, but the logistics underneath that calm picture are real. Roughly half of households here own their homes, and a meaningful share rent at prices that, month after month, leave little slack for out-of-pocket medical costs. With only about one in seven households clearing six figures, an unexpected clinic fee lands differently here than it might elsewhere in Clark County.
That financial reality matters most for the younger adults living in places like Nevada Ranch and Whitney Ranch, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically in the years when STIs spread fastest and testing is most easily postponed. Household sizes run large here, and with nearly two out of three residents in the labor force and unemployment running higher than the national average, schedules tend to be built around shift availability, not personal preference. Getting to a clinic listed on this page often means driving NV 582 or cutting across East Russell Road, and doing that on a weekday morning is simply not an option for a lot of Whitney workers.
For residents without employer coverage, which is a real portion of any community carrying the income profile this one does, the options listed here include sliding-scale and free services worth reviewing before assuming cost is a barrier. A call ahead to confirm what documentation, if any, a clinic requires can make the difference for an uninsured renter on a $1,117-a-month budget.

Whitney scores 10.55/20 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 Nevada 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 Nevada, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Nevada 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.
