When STI care and substance-use treatment exist at separate facilities, patients often don't make it to the second appointment, and one condition goes unaddressed. New River Health carries both in-house, so neither treatment depends on a second intake process at a second location.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fayette County, the county that includes Ansted, compare with West Virginia 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.
#12 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 78% of the state
| Infection | Fayette County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 238 93 cases ▼ 4% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 17.9 7 cases ▼ 67% | 54.7 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 2.6 1 cases ▼ 57% | 6.1 | 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 Fayette County, chlamydia has fallen from 333.4 to 238 per 100,000 (29%), gonorrhea has fallen from 76.6 to 17.9 per 100,000 (77%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.5 to 17.9 per 100,000 (616%).

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 Fayette County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fayette County HIV care continuum (2022)
Fayette County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fayette County residents living with HIV, 82.9% are in care · 65.7% 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 Fayette County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 60, the Midland Trail threading past Hawks Nest and out toward Gauley Mountain, is where most of Ansted's daily life runs, and younger adults here are navigating that life while putting down real roots: nearly three-quarters of residents own their homes, households average three people, and just under half of adults are married. That kind of early stability is genuinely good, but it also means people in their late teens and twenties are often already managing a mortgage payment or a shared household on a budget that doesn't leave much room. With a typical home value well below six figures and a rental market that's affordable but tight, an unexpected medical bill from a clinic visit can feel like enough of a deterrent to skip the appointment entirely.
Nearly half the working-age population isn't in the labor force, and unemployment runs high enough that flexible scheduling isn't a given for those who are working. Irregular shifts and stretched household budgets don't combine well with health appointments that require planning. Every screening visit requires a car, a ride, or a plan, and knowing that in advance, rather than discovering it when you're already tired after a shift on US 60, is the thing that actually changes whether it happens.
Getting there
At 4.85/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Ansted generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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