Anne Arundel County Department of Health in Glen Burnie takes walk-ins for rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis C, syphilis, and TB. No appointment needed. Gonorrhea and chlamydia treatment can be handled same visit, and every service is free.
An unresolved billing question, a co-pay that doesn't get paid, a follow-up visit that never happens. Gaps in STI care often open at the point of cost. At Anne Arundel County Department of Health, the HIV test, the hepatitis C test, the mpox vaccine, PrEP, and every other service on the list all carry no charge, so the care that starts here doesn't stall over money.
Many clinics handle Spanish through a remote line that sits between the patient and the provider, which works, until the nuance matters. Anne Arundel County Department of Health delivers STI and HIV care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about risk, prevention, and next steps happens between people in the same room.
Tenofovir-based PrEP requires periodic HIV testing and kidney-function monitoring to stay safely on regimen: Anne Arundel County Department of Health manages both, keeping the prescription and the monitoring in the same place. PEP is also available, meaning the department handles the full spectrum of HIV pharmaceutical prevention rather than a single entry point.

Chase Brexton Health Care in Glen Burnie covers its full panel (HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) at no fee, with sliding-scale rates and Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted. Appointments are required; same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs.
Chase Brexton carries no-fee access across its entire service menu: testing, PrEP, DoxyPEP, PEP, and ongoing HIV and hepatitis C treatment included. For anyone managing care without insurance or paying cash, that means PrEP refills and hepatitis C treatment don't sit behind a separate billing conversation.
Chase Brexton delivers services in Spanish directly, not as an accommodation layered onto an English-first visit. For someone whose primary care, prescriptions, and follow-up all happen in Spanish, that continuity matters when navigating PrEP dosing schedules or hepatitis C treatment timelines.
Ryan White program funding means Chase Brexton can carry a patient from a first reactive HIV test into sustained medical treatment under the same roof, no handoff required. The program underwrites ongoing HIV/AIDS medical care, so continuity of treatment isn't contingent on insurance status changing between visits.

For someone navigating STI care without a regular provider and managing costs on a sliding-scale fee, being able to discuss symptoms, test results, and treatment options directly in Spanish, not through a workaround, changes what that appointment actually delivers.

Baltimore Medical System runs on a sliding-scale fee structure open to anyone, with insurance and Medicaid accepted and a separate PrEP track for the uninsured. Appointments are required for testing across hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and rapid or conventional HIV. With care delivered in Spanish.
Many clinics accommodate Spanish speakers at the front desk but revert to English the moment clinical conversation begins. Baltimore Medical System delivers the actual care (counseling, treatment decisions, follow-up) in Spanish, so nothing critical gets compressed into translation.
Baltimore Medical System writes PrEP prescriptions in-house and carries a dedicated coverage track for uninsured patients. PEP is also prescribed directly, with the medication adherence counseling built into the same visit: meaning the regimen, the monitoring schedule, and the clinical guidance come from one provider, not assembled from separate sources.
For someone paying cash or without a specialist relationship, hepatitis C care that stops at diagnosis is only half the answer. Baltimore Medical System treats hepatitis C on-site (the antivirals, the management, the follow-through) so the path from positive test to cleared infection runs entirely within the same practice.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Anne Arundel County, the county that includes Glen Burnie, compare with Maryland and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#13 of 24 Maryland counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 46% of the state
| Infection | Anne Arundel County | Maryland | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 337.4 2,006 cases ▼ 42% | 579.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 102.6 610 cases ▼ 50% | 207.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 11.1 66 cases ▼ 22% | 14.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.4 56 cases ▼ 36% | 14.6 | 16 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Anne Arundel County, chlamydia has fallen from 366.3 to 337.4 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 107.8 to 102.6 per 100,000 (5%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.4 to 11.1 per 100,000 (106%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Anne Arundel County.
Local HIV snapshot
Anne Arundel County HIV care continuum (2023)
Anne Arundel County recorded 8.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 13.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Anne Arundel County residents living with HIV, 78.5% are in care · 69.6% 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). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Anne Arundel County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
In Glenwood, mornings unfold with the hum of family life, as households with multiple generations and married couples with kids create a vibrant neighborhood atmosphere. The area's mix of homeowners and renters, with nearly two-fifths of residents renting their homes, contributes to a dynamic community. With many households earning higher incomes and a strong labor-force participation rate, there's a sense of stability and security.
Residents living in apartments on MD 2 (Ritchie Highway) or families in single-family homes in Glendale Terrace often have busy schedules, balancing work and family responsibilities. The typical household, with an average of three people, means that getting screened for STIs might not be top of mind, especially for young adults still forming relationships. However, with many high-earning households and a strong workforce, there's an opportunity to prioritize health and wellness.
As families head to Bay Brook Park for a weekend outing or stroll through Shannon Square Community Park, taking a moment to prioritize health can be a practical step. For those living in Country Club Estates or Glen Gardens, a quick stop at a local testing site could be a responsible move, especially for young adults who might be more likely to put others' needs before their own. Heading to MD 270 (East Furnace Branch Road) to get tested is a straightforward next step in maintaining one's health, and a responsible choice for those who call Glen Burnie home.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Maryland 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).
In Maryland, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Maryland 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.
