Virginia Department of Health in Bristol tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit. Fees run on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid and most insurance, with appointments required. Care is delivered in Spanish.
When STI care isn't available in Spanish, a diagnosis lands in a language where follow-up questions go unasked and treatment decisions get deferred. At Virginia Department of Health in Bristol, Spanish-language care is built into the visit itself: meaning treatment, counseling, and prevention conversations all happen without an extra referral layered on top.
Virginia Department of Health in Bristol prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, which means a patient can leave with a prevention strategy already in place. Rather than carrying a prescription to a separate provider who may need to start the conversation from scratch.
Plenty of testing sites confirm a hepatitis C infection and then send patients elsewhere for care. Virginia Department of Health in Bristol treats hepatitis C on-site, so a positive result doesn't begin a separate search for a specialist willing to take a new patient.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Abingdon, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#113 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 15% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 166.5 90 cases ▼ 65% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 35.2 19 cases ▼ 78% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.6 3 cases ▼ 48% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.6 3 cases ▼ 41% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.6 3 cases ▼ 65% | 15.8 | 29.5 |

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 Washington County, chlamydia has risen from 163.2 to 166.5 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 72.3 to 35.2 per 100,000 (51%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.9 to 5.6 per 100,000 (195%).

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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2021)
Washington County recorded 10.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 78.7% are in care · 78.7% 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Shady Grove and Scott Addition hold a mix of long-settled homeowners and renters whose monthly costs sit well below regional averages, a combination that looks stable on paper but leaves little room for unexpected expenses. With just over half of adults in the labor force and unemployment running notably higher than the national norm, many residents are working irregular hours, juggling part-time jobs, or navigating gaps in employment that make it genuinely hard to schedule anything during conventional clinic hours. The share of households clearing six figures is modest, which means cost is a real consideration even when motivation to get tested is not. That context matters for younger adults in Abingdon, people in their late teens and twenties whose years of forming new relationships overlap with the period when STI transmission runs highest.
Getting screened depends less on intent than on whether an appointment can fit around a shift, a second job, or a day without reliable transportation along US 11 or out toward Cummings Street. The options listed on this page vary in hours, fees, and distance, and that range is the practical point. A resident near the Abingdon Historic District and one on the Morningside Hills side of town face different drives and different schedules, and the spread of listed providers means neither has to default to the single closest name on the map.
Getting there
At 7.93/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Abingdon generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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 Virginia 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 Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Virginia 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.
