Read full overviewShow less
Walk-in testing and treatment in one visit
Henderson Wellness Clinic lets you drop in whenever you need to—no appointment, no waiting weeks. You can get tested for HIV (rapid or conventional), chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, and TB, and if you test positive for a bacterial STI, you can start treatment the same day. That speed matters when you want answers fast.
Prevention built into the same visit
Beyond testing, the clinic stocks doxy-PEP (an antibiotic you take after condomless sex to prevent STIs), PrEP for HIV prevention, and vaccines for mpox, HPV, and hepatitis A and B. You'll also get counseling on HIV prevention, STI prevention, hepatitis, and TB, plus condoms to take with you. If you're on PrEP, staff help you stay on track with medication counseling.
Free HIV test; sliding scale for everything else
HIV testing is free. The mpox vaccine is free. For all other services—STI treatment, hepatitis testing and treatment, PrEP, doxy-PEP, other vaccines—the clinic charges on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid and insurance. If you're uninsured, PrEP is available to you at that sliding scale.
Best for people who need fast, no-fuss care
If you're paying out of pocket or uninsured, the sliding scale and free HIV test make this a real option. If you can't book ahead or need to fit testing into a busy day, walk-in access is the draw. If you're thinking about PrEP or doxy-PEP, you can explore both in one stop.

Local context
About Whitney, NV
Whitney sits in Clark, Nevada — a larger, urban community, where many households speak limited English, making bilingual care valuable, and it's a short drive from East Las Vegas. It anchors the surrounding area. Clinics are nearby but often busy, so at-home kits and telehealth offer a faster, more private route.

Here's how reported STI rates in Clark County — the county that includes Whitney — 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.

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).

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.

Privacy
Confidentiality & consent in Nevada
The questions Whitney 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.
