A clinic built around prevention and access
Northern Nevada HOPES combines testing, treatment, and prevention in one visit. You can walk in for a free rapid HIV test or hepatitis C screening, get same-day treatment for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis if needed, and leave with condoms and education. If you're interested in PrEP, the clinic offers it to uninsured patients—a major advantage if you're paying out of pocket.
Testing and care that covers the full picture
The clinic screens for HIV, hepatitis B and C, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Bacterial STIs are treated on-site the same visit. HIV and hepatitis care is managed through the clinic's partnerships, so you're not sent elsewhere. Beyond testing, HOPES also offers harm reduction, family planning, and PEP for post-exposure situations.
Cost that doesn't shut you out
HIV and hepatitis C testing are free. Everything else—STI tests, treatment, PrEP, and other services—runs on a sliding scale based on income. Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance plans are accepted. If you're uninsured and want PrEP, the clinic covers it.
You'll need an appointment, and Spanish interpretation is available
Plan ahead: HOPES requires an appointment rather than walk-ins. Interpretation services are available for non-English speakers, and Spanish-language support is built in. Call ahead to book and ask about language needs.

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

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 Washoe County tests for syphilis.

Two quick references for getting tested in Washoe County: the CDC's screening schedule (who should test, and how often) and the detection "window" for each infection (the earliest a test can reliably detect it). Select any infection to open its in-depth testing guide — every clinic and lab listed above for Reno screens for them.

When to test: STD detection windows
Testing too early can return a false negative — confirm timing with a Reno-area provider.
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the
community health centers serving Reno 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.

Prevention & treatment
PrEP, prevention & online treatment
Testing is one step. For residents of Reno, telehealth covers the rest of the picture — HIV-prevention
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)
Daily or on-demand medication that prevents HIV — and DoxyPEP, which lowers the risk of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.

substitute for emergency care.
Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in Nevada
The questions Reno 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.
