Planned Parenthood of Maryland in Annapolis requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV testing on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid and insurance, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care delivered in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care, Continuous Through Treatment
Clinical staff here provide care in Spanish, which means testing, results, and treatment decisions all happen in the same language without a handoff. That continuity keeps the conversation complete at every step, from the initial visit through any follow-up treatment.
Title X Status Extends Confidentiality to Minors
As a Title X-funded clinic, Planned Parenthood of Maryland in Annapolis provides legally confidential family planning services to minors, meaning those services are protected from disclosure independent of a parent's insurance or consent. That legal standing is built into the funding structure, not a policy the clinic can waive.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site, No Outside Provider Needed
For someone paying out of pocket or without a primary care provider to write the prescription, this clinic's standing ability to prescribe both PrEP and PEP in-house closes that gap directly. Both medications are managed here, sliding-scale fees apply, and Medicaid is accepted.
Womens Clinics in Annapolis tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, and HIV. The full panel, all at no fee. Appointments are required, bacterial infections are treated same visit, and sliding-scale fees apply across all services.

No Bill Waiting After Your Visit
When a diagnosis goes untreated, the gap is often financial. A follow-up visit unfunded, a treatment course unpaid. Womens Clinics in Annapolis charges nothing for any service it provides, so the cost of a return visit or a treatment plan never becomes the reason care stops.
Herpes and Hepatitis B Included in the Panel
Many clinics test for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV and stop there. Herpes and hepatitis B require a separate referral or a separate visit. Womens Clinics in Annapolis folds both into the same appointment, so the picture of what's present is complete before you leave.
Bay Community Health, a community health center in Shady Side, runs a panel that extends beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis to include herpes and hepatitis C alongside conventional HIV testing. Bacterial infections treated same visit. Fees follow a sliding scale accepted across Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; appointments required.
Daydream Sunshine Initiative in Bowie tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and HIV, rapid and conventional, on a sliding scale, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required; all services are provided at no fee.

Every Service Runs on Zero-Dollar Billing
At Daydream Sunshine Initiative, the no-fee model is operational across the entire care menu: PrEP prescriptions, HIV medical treatment, hepatitis B and C treatment, TB treatment, vaccines, and testing are all staffed and dispensed without a cost tier attached to any of them.
Non-English Care Is Staffed Into the Visit
Daydream Sunshine Initiative schedules interpretation services directly into clinical appointments, meaning counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment conversations are conducted with language support present in the room. Not patched in after the fact.
HIV Care That Doesn't Stop at the Test Result
Many clinics offer an HIV test and little else beyond it: Daydream Sunshine Initiative, backed by Ryan White funding, carries patients from initial testing through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, all within the same practice.

Women's Clinics Maryland in Bowie schedules appointments for STI screening that covers syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV testing in a single visit. Federal community health center status ties fees to income, so the cost a patient pays reflects what they can actually afford.
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.

Zero Cost Across Every Service Offered
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.
Spanish-Language Care for the Whole Visit
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 Funding Anchors HIV Care Here
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.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested On the Spot
Leaving a clinic without a herpes or hepatitis result means booking a second appointment somewhere else, paying again, and waiting longer to know the full picture. Total Health Care tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C at the same visit as the standard bacterial and HIV panel, closing that gap before you walk out.
Spanish-Speaking Care From the First Question
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. Total Health Care in Odenton carries Spanish-language care as a standing clinical capability.

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 Anne Arundel County tests for syphilis.

Truxton Heights draws a steady share of younger Annapolis adults, many of them renting in a market where typical monthly costs run high enough to crowd out optional health spending. For people in their late teens and twenties, a lease that already stretches the budget makes a fee-based appointment feel like one more thing to weigh, even when the county STI picture argues for routine screening. The city's tenure split sits nearly even between owners and renters, and with close to half of households paying market rents, the population skews toward people at a life stage where relationships are shifting and partners are changing. Add a strong labor-force participation rate alongside a real unemployment share, and a meaningful portion of residents are either juggling irregular hours or navigating gaps in employer-sponsored coverage.
Those two pressures, cost and schedule, are where a lot of well-intentioned screenings quietly stall. Several sit within a short drive along MD 450 through Westgate Circle or out West Street, routes that many Annapolis residents already travel for groceries or work. For someone in Bay View Heights without easy transit, knowing a clinic is reachable in minutes along a familiar corridor, rather than a cross-county trip, is what converts "I should do that" into an actual appointment booked and kept.

Confidentiality & consent in MarylandMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Maryland, 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)
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.
