12 testing options are listed for Windsor, CO. The nearest, Sunrise Community Health, is about 0.7 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.

How to read these listings

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Spanish Runs the Full Clinical Encounter

Spanish at Sunrise Community Health is not limited to check-in paperwork: it carries through counseling, test results, and treatment planning. That continuity means a patient's understanding of a diagnosis, a drug regimen, or a prevention option isn't filtered through translation gaps at any point in the visit.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel

Beyond the core four, Sunrise tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Meaning infections that often surface without obvious symptoms get caught in the same appointment. For hepatitis B in particular, that result feeds directly into the clinic's vaccination program if immunity isn't present.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 from 593 reviews

UCHealth in Loveland runs on appointments and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and HIV, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a fee structure that accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance.

PrEP and PEP While Prevention Is Still an Option

Sexual health clinics that stop at testing leave patients to seek prevention prescriptions elsewhere. UCHealth prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site in Loveland, keeping the path from testing to ongoing prevention contained within a single clinical relationship.

Hepatitis C Treatment Starts and Stays Here

UCHealth treats hepatitis C on-site in Loveland rather than stopping at diagnosis, which means a positive result doesn't reset the clock while a patient waits to establish care with a separate specialist.

Hepatitis B and C Included in the Standard Panel

UCHealth's panel in Loveland folds hepatitis B and C testing alongside the core bacterial and HIV screen, so infections that often go undetected surface during the same visit rather than requiring a separate appointment.

Every Service Here Carries Zero Cost

Plenty of public health clinics post a sliding scale and leave certain services outside it, a vaccine here, a treatment visit there, priced separately. At Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, the fee structure is flat: nothing costs anything, full stop, across testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling alike.

Spanish Care That Stays In-House

When a clinic lacks Spanish-language capacity, the real cost isn't inconvenience. It's a delayed diagnosis, an untreated infection, a treatment plan that never quite landed. Larimer County Department of Health and Environment delivers STI care, counseling, and treatment directly in Spanish, keeping the entire clinical conversation inside this office.

Herpes Testing Fills a Common Panel Gap

Plenty of clinics test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and leave it there: herpes requires a separate trip, a separate provider, or simply goes untested. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greeley includes herpes in its panel, closing that gap in a single appointment.

Title X Confidentiality Covers Minors Specifically

Title X designation gives Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greeley the standing to provide legally confidential services to minors, no parental billing trail, no insurance disclosure. For a young person without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, that legal protection is the difference between getting tested and not.

Spanish Speakers Get Direct Clinical Conversations

When Spanish isn't available in the exam room itself, the care suffers: nuances in symptoms get lost, questions go unasked, and follow-through drops. At Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains in Greeley, Spanish-language care and broader interpretation services are part of the clinical encounter, not a workaround bolted onto it.

Every Service Runs on a Zero-Dollar Basis

For anyone paying cash, without a regular provider, or stretching a tight budget, Weld County Public Health's standing policy is straightforward: every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP) is provided at no fee. That coverage extends to the full visit, not a selected tier of it.

Spanish and Interpreter Access Built into Appointments

Many clinics handle non-English speakers reactively, with whatever workaround is available that day. Weld County Public Health in Greeley offers Spanish-language services and interpretation for other languages as a built-in appointment feature, so clinical conversations don't get compressed or lost in the middle.

PrEP Covered for Uninsured Patients, PEP Also Available

Weld County Public Health carries both PrEP and PEP, and PrEP costs are explicitly covered for uninsured patients. Meaning the medication, not just the counseling, is financially accessible. That makes ongoing HIV prevention sustainable rather than dependent on finding outside coverage.

Colorado Health Network

Colorado Health Network in Fort Collins runs appointments for rapid HIV, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding scale that extends to fully covered care for those who qualify.

Read full overview Show less

Zero-Cost Care Backed by Real Coverage

Colorado Health Network draws on Medicaid billing, insurance reimbursement, and grant-funded coverage to zero out the cost for patients who qualify. Meaning the sliding scale bottoms out at nothing, sustained by actual payer relationships rather than a waived line item.

Spanish Fluency Built Into Clinical Appointments

Care at Colorado Health Network in Fort Collins is available fully in Spanish, which means a patient's results, risk conversation, and any prescription are handled in Spanish directly. Not reconstructed afterward.

DoxyPEP Alongside PrEP and PEP Under One Provider

Many prevention-focused clinics prescribe PrEP and leave it there; Colorado Health Network in Fort Collins also prescribes DoxyPEP, the post-exposure antibiotic protocol for bacterial STI prevention, giving patients access to three distinct prevention tools from a single clinical relationship.

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 Weld County tests for syphilis.

Data & references

About Windsor, CO

Covenant Park sits near the center of Windsor in the kind of settled quiet that comes from a town where most households own their homes and nearly two-thirds of adults are married, raising families that average more than three people each. That stability shapes daily life here in real ways, including how people schedule the things they keep meaning to get around to, like STI screening.

The logistics underneath that calm take some planning. CO 392 carries Windsor residents toward the nearest testing options listed on this page, and depending on where you live, that trip through Weld County is a genuine commitment of time, not a quick errand. For the younger adults in their late teens and twenties who make up a meaningful slice of Windsor's population, and who face the years when chlamydia and gonorrhea rates climb, a multi-step trip on a weekday is easier to postpone than to make. Knowing exactly which options listed here keep evening or weekend hours before you need them removes at least one reason to wait.

Cost is its own consideration. Close to half of Windsor households earn six figures, but that share also means a real portion of residents do not, and rent averaging over twelve hundred dollars a month leaves less cushion than home values suggest. For a renting family in Highland Hills without employer-sponsored coverage, the sliding-scale or no-cost options listed on this page are the ones worth calling first.

Confidentiality & consent in Colorado

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

Two things that actually depend on Colorado 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 Colorado, 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)

Colorado 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.
