Book ahead for a focused visit
You'll need an appointment to come in, which means no sitting around wondering if you're next. A single visit covers testing, counseling, and—if you test positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis—treatment happens right there. That efficiency matters when you want answers and care in one trip.
Screens for the infections that matter most
The clinic tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and both rapid and conventional HIV tests, plus TB screening. Bacterial STIs are treated on-site; HIV and hepatitis C results lead to counseling and referral for ongoing care. You'll also get education on prevention and partner notification support if you need it.
Sliding scale covers most; insurance helps too
There is a fee, but it slides based on income—Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, which can lower or eliminate your cost. If you're uninsured and paying out of pocket, ask about the scale when you call to book; it's designed so cost doesn't block you.
Spanish interpretation and condoms on hand
Staff offer Spanish interpretation, and the clinic stocks condoms for prevention. HPV and hepatitis A vaccines are available if you need them, rounding out a visit that can address multiple health needs.

Read full overviewShow less
Sliding scale means you pay what fits your budget
Community Health Alliance charges based on income, so cost won't block you from getting tested. Medicaid and insurance are accepted, and if you're uninsured and interested in PrEP, the clinic covers that too. A standard visit fee applies if you're paying out of pocket, but the sliding scale keeps it accessible.
Tests and same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs
You can get screened for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and HIV (both rapid and conventional tests), plus TB. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are treated on site the same visit. HIV and hepatitis B and C treatment is managed at the clinic with ongoing care; hepatitis A vaccine is also available, along with HPV vaccine and PrEP for prevention.
You'll need to book ahead rather than walk in. Spanish-language services are available, and the clinic offers counseling on HIV testing, STI prevention, and medication adherence to support your care.
Best for anyone balancing cost and access
If you're uninsured or underinsured and need testing without a big bill, or if you want PrEP but don't have coverage, this is a solid choice. The sliding scale and insurance acceptance mean you're not locked into one payment path.

Here's how reported STI rates in Storey County — the county that includes Gilpin — compare with Nevada and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
An estimated ~30% of Storey 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.

Storey County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 21.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally.
Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers — it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Storey County tests for syphilis.

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the

Prevention & treatment

medication (PrEP) and DoxyPEP to lower future risk, and discreet online treatment if a result comes back
positive. All prescribed by licensed U.S. clinicians.
Prevent (PrEP & DoxyPEP)

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.
