Reported cases of chlamydia in Arizona increased by nearly 26% percent between 2014 and 2018. In 2018, Maricopa County ranked 4th in the nation for chlamydia prevalence, accounting for 26,464 of the state’s 40,807 reported cases.

The county’s Public Health Department operates a walk-in clinic that provides affordable STD testing and treatment. For one low fee, clients receive testing for syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV, and no one is turned away due to the inability to pay. The clinic doesn’t accept appointments, and wait times vary widely depending on the number of clients. Faster testing services are available for clients without symptoms and who are at a lower risk for STDs. After their visit, clients are provided with a phone number to call for their test results. All information is kept confidential, and the clinic doesn’t place outgoing phone calls pertaining to test results without a client’s expressed permission.
