About Apex, NV
Apex sits in Clark, Nevada — a larger city, where many households speak limited English, making bilingual care valuable. It's a short drive from Arrolime, and it has a high share of renters. Reaching a clinic can mean a drive, so many residents start with a mailed test kit or a telehealth visit.

Here's how reported STI rates in Clark County — the county that includes Apex — compare with Nevada and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~31% of Clark County residents are aged 15–34 (ACS) — the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally, which is why local screening access matters here.

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.

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 the county health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?
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.

Confidentiality & consent in Nevada
The questions Apex residents ask most before testing, answered under Nevada law — which sets confidentiality and consent the same way statewide. Prefer to keep your name off the record? See our guide to anonymous STD testing.
Can a minor consent?
In Nevada, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own — no parental permission is required.
Will it show on my insurance?
If you use health insurance, an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) may be mailed to the policyholder. Under HIPAA you can ask your insurer in writing to send communications confidentially. To keep a test fully private, choose a self-pay private lab, an at-home kit, or a public health clinic — none of these bill your insurance.
Anonymous & no-insurance options
Public health clinics and at-home kits let you test without involving insurance or your regular doctor. Many Nevada health departments offer free or low-cost STI testing, and several sites provide anonymous HIV testing.
Can my partner be treated too?
Yes. Nevada permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication to pass to your partner — no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
