Welcome to Red Door Services 
Red Door Services (formerly known as the Red Door Clinic) are part of the new Hennepin County Public Health Clinic, located on the 4th Floor of the Hennepin County Health Services Building. Our mission is to provide access to sexual health care and to decrease the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in Minnesota through screening, treatment, prevention programming and health education.
Since 1970, the staff at our clinic have been providing confidential, non-judgmental and professional care to our community. We are the largest HIV and STD testing site in Minnesota, providing testing, treatment and health education around STDs, as well as pregnancy prevention and targeted programming through the CAPS Program, HIM Program and SIS Program.

SEXUAL HEALTH SERVICES
Many of our services are available on a walk-in basis and are provided regardless of a person's ability to pay. We accept most insurance and are able to provide sliding fee scales for low-income as well as uninsured individuals. You will need an appointment for pregnancy prevention services and Ryan White Early Intervention services.
- Rapid HIV testing (same-day results) is available confidentially or anonymously.
- Testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and vaginal infections.
- Testing for genital warts (HPV) and herpes if there are symptoms present.
- Dermatology treatment for genital warts or molluscum contagiosum.
- Vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and HPV for people at risk.
- Safer sex and pregnancy prevention materials.
Because we are a walk-in public health clinic, arrival as early as possible before closing provides a greater chance of being seen. The clinic will close occasionally for staff training and county holidays. Please call 612.543.555 for the current week's schedule or for more information.

NEW! ONLINE PARTNER NOTIFICATION TOOL
The Internet has increasingly become a place for people to meet sex partners in Minnesota. Internet hookups have also facilitated a number of new STD infections in the state. As a result, the HIM Program has partnered with an online software company to offer a new way for people to notify partners of possible exposures to HIV and other STDs.
This online partner notification service is called InSPOT, and is an online service available to the entire state of Minnesota. InSPOT can be used to send an E-card to your sex partners notifying them that they may have been exposed to a particular STD and forwards them on to the InSPOT website for more information on the STD in question and clinics in their area to get tested and treated.
E-cards can be sent anonymously or with your e-mail included. The service is completely anonymous and your identifying information is not collected - only zip codes and very basic demographics are collected for funding purposes.
For more information about InSPOT partner notification services, contact the HIM Program at 612.348.9100 orsend the HIM Program an email.
CLINICAL STAFF
The Red Door staff primarily consists of certified Nurse Practitioners. Some services are provided by Registered Nurses. Our medical director for HIV and STD services is an Infectious Disease Doctor. 
Pregnancy prevention services are provided in consultation with a gynecologist. Prevention program staff are Community Health Specialists trained and certified to do HIV and Syphilis testing and sexual health counseling.
LOCATION
The Hennepin County Public Health Clinic is located on the fourth floor of the Health Services Building at 525 Portland Ave in downtown Minneapolis (near the metrodome, on the corner of 6th Street and Portland Ave).

To set an appointment for a visit requiring an ASL interpreter, please call the clinic at 612.348.4729 TTY one week prior to the date that you would like to be seen.
