JeffCare West Jefferson, in Marrero, earned its federal community health center designation by committing to income-based fees for everyone who walks in. No appointment needed to access sliding-scale syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening. Cost adjusts to what patients can actually pay.
Priority Health Care in Marrero tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee with free HIV and STI testing available, no appointment required, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. All services at no fee.
Read full overviewShow less
When cost sits between a diagnosis and its treatment, infections go unmanaged and prevention goes unused. Priority Health Care eliminates that gap entirely: testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, and hepatitis C care each carry no fee, so nothing at this clinic stalls because a bill got in the way.
Many clinics hand off non-English conversations to a remote service that neither examines nor treats. Priority Health Care in Marrero delivers care directly in Spanish and through on-site interpretation for other languages, keeping clinical conversation, and the judgment calls that follow, in the same room as the clinician.
Priority Health Care prescribes both daily oral PrEP and post-exposure PEP directly: the prescribing clinician, the monitoring, and the follow-up labs are all held at the same Marrero location, meaning neither regimen depends on a separate provider to continue.
InclusivCare in Marrero accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with sliding-scale fees available for those who need them. Appointments are required for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and conventional HIV testing, with treatment and hepatitis B vaccination on-site.

Spanish-Language Care Without the Extra Step
Seeking STI care across a language gap means delays, a detail missed, a follow-up skipped, a prescription misunderstood before it's even filled. At InclusivCare, clinical care, counseling, and treatment are delivered in Spanish directly, so nothing essential gets dropped between the visit and the outcome.

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 is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Jefferson Parish tests for syphilis.

Marrero households tend to be bigger than the national norm and anchored by ownership, most families here have put down roots, which shapes how health decisions get made. When one partner notices a gap in routine care, or when a parent realizes a young adult in the house hasn't been screened recently, those conversations happen at the kitchen table rather than a clinic waiting room. That dynamic matters, because the younger adults living in these households, people in their late teens and twenties still forming relationships, are the ones most likely to benefit from regular STI screening, and least likely to prioritize it unless access is genuinely easy. Easy is a relative word in Marrero. Getting anywhere off Lapalco Boulevard or the Westbank Expressway means a car trip, and with unemployment running notably higher than average and a meaningful share of households juggling tight budgets on rent that still clears $900 a month, spending a weekday morning on a clinic errand competes with real constraints.
For households where fewer than six in ten adults are in the workforce, scheduling flexibility isn't a given. It's something families actively negotiate. The options listed on this page range across fee structures and hours precisely to accommodate that reality. Jefferson Parish's STI numbers give people in Marrero every reason to keep testing in regular rotation, not as a response to symptoms but as something woven into the same practical rhythm as refilling a prescription along Barataria Boulevard.

Confidentiality & consent in LouisianaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Louisiana law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Louisiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Louisiana permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
