Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 31 reviews
Amistad Clinic in Yuma charges a set fee and accepts insurance for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis testing, with same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections. Appointments are required, and PrEP is on the care menu alongside full HIV management.

Tenofovir and Emtricitabine Are Already on the Formulary
Amistad Clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral needed to initiate or continue either regimen. PrEP requires routine HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and that follow-up care happens within the same practice, keeping the prescription and its required labs connected.
Hepatitis C Gets Treated Here, Not Just Flagged
Many clinics run a hepatitis C antibody test and then send patients elsewhere for anything further. Amistad Clinic carries the full arc, diagnosis through antiviral treatment, so a reactive result leads to a treatment plan within the clinic rather than a handoff to an unfamiliar provider.
Yuma County Public Health Services District in Yuma charges a fee for services and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines are available; appointments are required.

HIV Testing Leads to Ongoing Funded Care
Testing alone is where many public clinics stop, a result handed over without a path forward for those who need HIV care. Yuma County Public Health Services District holds Ryan White funding, which means a positive result doesn't end the clinical relationship; it opens one, with treatment and ongoing management supported through that program.
Herpes Testing Joins the Standard Panel
The clinic runs herpes testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Meaning a single appointment produces results across five infection categories. Herpes screening requires a specific lab order distinct from the bacterial panel, so having it staffed and ordered here keeps a clinically complete picture within one visit structure.

Spanish Is a Working Clinical Language Here
Spanish functions as an operational language at Horizon Health and Wellness, not a workaround, but a direct channel for clinical communication. That means test results, treatment decisions, and prevention counseling all happen in Spanish without friction or delay introduced by mediated communication.
Hepatitis B and C Both Tested On-Site
Horizon Health and Wellness tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the bacterial STI panel and HIV, six distinct pathogens in a single appointment. Hepatitis C identified here can move directly into on-site management, and a reactive hepatitis B result connects immediately to the adult hepatitis B vaccine series offered at the same clinic.
Yuma's federally qualified health center status means STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) is priced on a sliding scale tied to income, so no one pays the same flat rate. Walk-ins are welcome, and fees adjust to what patients actually earn.

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.

Yuma County HIV care continuum (2023)
Yuma County recorded 18.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Yuma County residents living with HIV, 61.1% are in care · 54.5% 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.
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 Yuma County tests for syphilis.

Robert A. Vaughan Expressway cuts through Yuma quickly enough that reaching a clinic listed here rarely means more than a short drive, yet the trip still has to compete with long work shifts, second jobs, and schedules shaped by an unemployment picture that leaves many households stretched thin. That stretch shows up in other ways too. With roughly six in ten residents owning their homes and rents running well under a thousand dollars a month, Yuma is not an especially high-cost place to live, but households earning into six figures are relatively few, which means a testing visit with any out-of-pocket cost still gets weighed against other priorities.
Yuma's households are also notably large and family-oriented, with nearly half of adults married and average household sizes that suggest multi-generational or multi-person living around neighborhoods like Yuma Mesa. When someone in their late teens or twenties shares a home like that, privacy and scheduling both become real considerations: a clinic visit needs to fit around shared transportation, overlapping shifts, and someone always seeming to be home. For a household already managing tight margins near Saguaro Park or along the expressway corridor, a test that gets done is often simply one that didn't require reorganizing everyone else's day around it.

What each STD test costsMedicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Yuma often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in ArizonaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Arizona, 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)
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.
