Virginia Department of Health in Annandale tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB on a sliding-scale fee, with every service ultimately provided at no charge: appointments required, and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Every service at this clinic carries no charge, which means that when a patient leaves with a PrEP prescription or a TB treatment plan, the financial barrier to following through on that care simply isn't there. The lab work, the counseling, the vaccines. None of it generates a bill.
Spanish-language services run through the full scope of the clinic: STI treatment, PrEP initiation, DoxyPEP counseling, and vaccine administration all happen in Spanish. That breadth means every clinical decision, from dosing to follow-up intervals, is communicated directly without a gap.
For anyone without a regular provider who needs PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP, Virginia Department of Health in Annandale prescribes and manages all three from within the same clinic. No separate infectious disease referral required. Having all three prevention medications available in a sliding-scale public health setting is the practical advantage.

Infectious Diseases Physicians in Annandale tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB on a fee-based, insurance- and Medicare-accepted basis. Appointments are required; bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and sliding-scale fees apply.
Infectious Diseases Physicians prescribes both PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention and PEP when post-exposure medication is needed. Having both options at a single infectious-disease practice means the right protocol is already within reach, without coordinating across separate providers.
For anyone without a regular specialist, Infectious Diseases Physicians handles hepatitis C treatment directly. No separate referral to a gastroenterologist or liver specialist required. The practice carries both the diagnostic and treatment capability, so a confirmed case moves toward medication at the same location.
Anyone wanting a fuller picture of their infectious-disease status will find that Infectious Diseases Physicians tests beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV to include hepatitis C and TB. Infections that a basic STI panel routinely omits but that a specialist practice is equipped to catch and manage.

Neighborhood Health in Fairfax runs on appointments, so every visit is structured around you: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, vaccines, and sliding-scale fees, all provided at no charge.
Neighborhood Health charges nothing for any service it provides: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, or prevention education. That zero-fee structure applies across the board, not selectively, meaning the full scope of the clinic's care is available without a financial ceiling on what you can access in a single appointment.
Neighborhood Health staffs interpretation services for non-English languages directly within the clinic's care delivery, not as a backup channel but as a built-in operational layer. That means clinical conversations about exposure history, medication adherence counseling, and prevention education proceed in the language the patient uses, without routing through an outside service.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV, Neighborhood Health tests for herpes and for hepatitis A, B, and C individually. Three distinct viral strains that each carry different transmission routes and clinical consequences. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also available on-site, closing the loop between detection and prevention in the same appointment.

Privia Health in Falls Church tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit on a sliding-scale fee open to all, walk-ins welcome, with full care delivered in Spanish.
Receiving a hepatitis C diagnosis and then being handed off elsewhere for treatment means weeks of scheduling, repeat intake, and a gap where the virus keeps replicating. Privia Health in Falls Church carries both the diagnosis and the treatment, antiviral management happens on-site, not at a separate specialist months down the road.
PrEP at Privia Health in Falls Church includes the full prescribing and ongoing monitoring cycle (HIV testing, renal function checks, and medication management) meaning the clinical relationship that keeps a daily regimen safe and current stays with one practice rather than fragmenting across separate providers.
When care requires a secondary appointment to find a Spanish-speaking provider, the bacterial infection already in progress waits for no one, and same-visit treatment loses its value entirely. At Privia Health in Falls Church, Spanish is a working clinical language across the full visit: testing, treatment, PrEP counseling, and hepatitis management, with no gap in the chain.

NovaSalud in Falls Church delivers rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside the standard bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and hepatitis A, B, and C screening, all at no charge to anyone who walks in.
NovaSalud charges nothing for any service it offers, testing, counseling, hepatitis screening, HIV self-tests included. That zero-cost floor means the scope of what someone gets tested for isn't quietly shaped by what they can afford to add to a bill.
NovaSalud staffs clinical conversations in French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, with interpretation available for additional languages: meaning counseling, test results, and medication adherence education are delivered in those languages directly, not relayed through a secondary channel mid-appointment.
Ryan White funding lets NovaSalud carry a patient from first HIV test through ongoing treatment and medication adherence support without a gap in coverage: a standing capability that serves anyone without consistent HIV care, whether they're uninsured, between providers, or newly engaged with treatment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fairfax County, the county that includes Annandale, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#69 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 48% of the state
| Infection | Fairfax County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 309 3,528 cases ▼ 35% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 86.9 992 cases ▼ 45% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.1 58 cases ▼ 52% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.6 75 cases ▼ 31% | 9.5 | 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 Fairfax County, chlamydia has risen from 256.5 to 309 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has risen from 56.2 to 86.9 per 100,000 (55%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4 to 5.1 per 100,000 (27%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Fairfax County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fairfax County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fairfax County recorded 7.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fairfax County residents living with HIV, 64% are in care · 59% 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 Fairfax County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Little River Turnpike cuts through the middle of Annandale, and the households lining it reflect a community where most adults own their homes and nearly half are married, with families averaging well above three people per address. That household structure shapes how health decisions get made: many residents weigh schedules, childcare, and shared routines, so a medical appointment that requires several trips or long waits tends to get deferred rather than rescheduled. Nearly half of all households here clear six figures annually, yet typical rent still runs close to seventeen hundred dollars a month, meaning the renters who make up a meaningful share of the community face real cost pressure alongside the same crowded work weeks as everyone else.
With nearly three in four adults in the labor force, the people most likely to benefit from STI screening, those in their late teens and twenties building new relationships, are often the ones least able to absorb a midday clinic visit during business hours. Fairfax County's STI figures carry weight in that context. 55 people faces less undetected transmission across the relationships and routines that hold it together.
Getting there
Annandale scores 12.62/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
