STD Testing in Westerville, OH: Free, Same-Day & Confidential

Direct Care in Eight Languages Beyond English

Heart of Ohio Family Health conducts care directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese: a standing clinical capacity that serves anyone whose primary language isn't English, whether navigating a new diagnosis, discussing PrEP, or working through a treatment plan.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site

Heart of Ohio Family Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means prevention doesn't require a separate specialist visit. The conversation and the prescription happen in the same appointment.

Hepatitis C Treated Here, Diagnosis Included

Plenty of clinics can confirm a hepatitis C infection and stop there; Heart of Ohio Family Health carries treatment through to completion on-site, so a positive result doesn't send you elsewhere to find a specialist willing to manage your care.

Clinical Spanish Reaches Into Ongoing Care

Spanish-language care is available directly at Mount Carmel, which means test results, treatment decisions, and prevention conversations happen without a translation gap. Keeping the clinical relationship intact from screening through follow-up.

PEP Access Where Most Clinics Offer Only PrEP

Many clinics prescribe PrEP and stop there. Mount Carmel carries both PrEP and PEP, so HIV prevention isn't limited to a single window of eligibility. The clinic can meet patients at different points in their exposure timeline.

Spanish Care Staffed Into Every Clinical Layer

Lower Lights Health staffs Spanish-language capacity directly into its clinical team, so testing, diagnosis, treatment counseling, and medication adherence education all move in Spanish without handoffs. A patient managing an STI or a chronic infection like hepatitis B isn't translated at the edges, the clinical relationship itself operates in the language.

When PrEP or PEP goes unprescribed at a testing visit, the gap between exposure and protection widens. Sometimes permanently. Lower Lights Health closes that gap by prescribing and managing both on-site, so prevention doesn't stall while a patient tracks down a separate provider willing to prescribe.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Stay at One Clinic

Lower Lights Health treats hepatitis C on-site rather than stopping at diagnosis, which means a confirmed infection moves directly into a treatment plan without the lag of a separate specialist referral. For a condition where delayed treatment accelerates liver damage, that continuity is the practical difference between care and a pending appointment.

Spanish-Language Care Keeps the Diagnosis Moving

When a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prevention conversation has to pass through a second person to be understood, the result is delayed decisions and gaps in follow-through. At PrimaryOne Health, clinical care in Spanish is delivered directly, no relay, so the conversation between patient and provider stays intact and treatment happens on the same visit it should.

PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Inside This Practice

PrEP at PrimaryOne Health means a provider who prescribes Truvada or Descovy, orders the required baseline HIV and kidney-function labs, and schedules the follow-up visits every three months to recheck labs and renew the prescription. The full clinical cycle managed inside one practice, not handed off.

Hepatitis C Treatment Available Without a Specialist Referral

PrimaryOne Health carries hepatitis C care through to treatment, not just the antibody and RNA confirmatory testing, but the direct-acting antivirals that clear the infection. For someone without a gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist, that standing capability means the path from a confirmed result to a prescription stays inside one Columbus clinic.
