PrEP Prescribed and Monitored at Jefferson Health
Jefferson Health staffs the full clinical workflow for PrEP: prescription, baseline testing, and the follow-up labs required every three months to keep the prescription active. PEP is also prescribed on-site, meaning the medication itself, not a referral, comes from this clinic.
Hepatitis C Treatment Lives at This Clinic
Anyone managing hepatitis C without a specialist or a regular provider will find that Jefferson Health carries the treatment through to medication, not just a diagnosis. The clinic handles hepatitis C care on-site, useful for anyone who wants a single practice handling both the test result and the prescription.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Four
For anyone who wants a more complete picture, particularly those without a primary care provider ordering labs, Jefferson Health extends its panel to include herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB in addition to HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. That range means fewer separate appointments to cover what a thorough workup requires.
Newlands Health, a Philadelphia community health center, folds STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) into full primary care, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointments required; every service carries no fee.

Every Visit Costs Nothing at Newlands
Delayed treatment and incomplete follow-up are often downstream of cost, a fee that appears after an appointment, a prescription not filled, a return visit skipped. Newlands Health charges nothing for any service it provides, so the entire care path from first test through treatment stays intact without a single out-of-pocket calculation.
French and Haitian Creole Spoken on Staff
Care delayed by language gaps compounds: a misunderstood diagnosis, a treatment plan not fully grasped, a follow-up appointment not made. Newlands Health provides services directly in French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, with interpretation available for other languages, so nothing in the clinical conversation gets lost or deferred.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
Newlands Health prescribes both PrEP, the daily oral regimen requiring regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and PEP, with ongoing medical management handled at the same clinic. Staying on PrEP long-term demands consistent follow-up labs and prescription renewals; Newlands carries all of that, including access for uninsured patients.

Excel Medical Center

Excel Medical Center in Philadelphia tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, on a fee-based sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, by appointment, with staff serving patients in French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish.
Read full overviewShow less
French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish Staffed On-Site
Excel Medical Center maintains clinical staff fluent in French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish: meaning counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment conversations happen in those languages through the providers themselves, not routed through an outside service. That staffing covers every layer of care, from HIV test counseling to PrEP monitoring.
PrEP and PEP Both Prescribed Here
Many sexual health clinics offer testing without taking on the prescribing side of prevention, leaving patients to locate a separate provider for PrEP or PEP. Excel Medical Center writes both prescriptions in-house, folding ongoing PrEP management and PEP courses into the same practice that handles testing and STI treatment.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Practice
Excel Medical Center carries hepatitis C treatment directly, meaning that a confirmed infection moves into an antiviral regimen managed within the same clinic, with monitoring handled by the same team. Hepatitis B treatment runs through the practice on the same terms.
Covenant House Medical Center in Philadelphia welcomes walk-ins for STI screening, no appointment needed. Federally qualified status anchors its sliding-scale fees to income, keeping syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing within reach. A single visit can cover the full standard panel.
Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania in Philadelphia runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, accepts Medicaid and most insurance, and covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and an HPV vaccine series. Appointments are required.
Read full overviewShow less
Spanish Staffed Directly, Interpretation Also Available
Spanish-language care is staffed directly at this location, meaning clinical conversations (symptom history, medication instructions, follow-up plans) happen in Spanish without a relay. Interpretation services extend that reach to additional languages, handled through the clinic's own infrastructure rather than a detached call.
Title X Guarantees Confidential Care for Minors
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania provides legally confidential family planning and STI services to minors: meaning the visit, results, and any treatment are protected from disclosure to a parent or guardian by federal program requirements, not just policy.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Here Directly
For anyone without a regular prescriber, this clinic holds standing capability for all three prevention medications: PrEP for ongoing HIV protection, PEP, and DoxyPEP for bacterial STI prevention after potential exposure. Each prescribed and managed on-site in Philadelphia without routing to an outside provider.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
Every service at Courage Medicine Health Center is provided at no cost, which means the full scope of care, from STI treatment to HIV management to DoxyPEP, is available without a bill waiting at checkout.
Full Care Delivered in Spanish
Courage Medicine Health Center delivers care in Spanish, so clinical conversations (about dosing, adherence, or prevention) happen in the language that carries the clearest meaning for the patient.
Chasing prevention across multiple providers means gaps, missed PEP timing, stalled PrEP starts, DoxyPEP never filled. Courage Medicine Health Center prescribes all three under one clinical relationship, so prevention doesn't fracture across referrals.

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 Montgomery County tests for syphilis.

Elkins Park carries a particular character within Abington Township: mostly owner-occupied households, a high share of married couples, and families large enough that schedules run on other people's needs as much as your own. When nearly seven in ten residents are in the labor force and a meaningful slice are working full-time professional jobs, the window for a mid-morning clinic appointment can close fast.
That scheduling pressure matters most for people in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates climb steeply and when a single logistical hurdle, an inconvenient hour, a long drive, or an out-of-pocket cost that lands at the wrong moment in the month, can mean a test gets postponed indefinitely. Montgomery County's STI picture makes routine screening genuinely useful rather than precautionary in the abstract, and Abington's mix of working households and modest but real cost-of-living expectations (rent in the area is not trivial on an entry-level paycheck) shapes which options actually get used.

Confidentiality & consent in PennsylvaniaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, 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)
Pennsylvania 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.
