Guilford County Health Department in High Point tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit, with sliding-scale fees applying to everyone and all services ultimately provided at no fee.
Plenty of clinics post a sliding scale and still leave patients with a balance after insurance adjustments or administrative fees. At Guilford County Health Department, sliding-scale fees bottom out completely. Every service, from testing through treatment, is provided at no fee.
When a clinic can't serve someone in Spanish, the practical cost is a second appointment somewhere else, and conditions that go unaddressed in the gap. Guilford County Health Department delivers care in Spanish directly, keeping testing, counseling, and treatment in one conversation at one visit.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis off a panel means a separate appointment, a separate cost, and infections that quietly persist in the meantime. Guilford County Health Department tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial and viral panel, closing that gap in a single visit.

Kintegra Health in Thomasville covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis, and HIV) treats bacterial infections the same visit, and runs on a sliding-scale fee structure with Medicaid and private insurance accepted, by appointment.
Kintegra Health staffs Spanish-language services directly, which means someone managing an ongoing PrEP prescription or navigating hepatitis treatment can discuss dosing schedules, side effects, and follow-up in Spanish without a relay. For anyone whose primary language shapes how they process medical decisions, that directness is the care.
Kintegra Health manages both PrEP and PEP in-house: that means the initial prescription, the required HIV and kidney-function labs before starting, and the ongoing every-three-month monitoring visits that keep a PrEP prescription active. The clinic also carries PrEP coverage for uninsured patients, so cost isn't the barrier that interrupts adherence.
Skip herpes or hepatitis from a panel and the gap surfaces later, a second appointment, a second copay, weeks of waiting on a referral lab. Kintegra Health tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial four and HIV, so nothing gets deferred to a separate visit or a separate provider.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Randolph County, the county that includes Archdale, compare with North Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#63 of 100 North Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 37% of the state
| Infection | Randolph County | North Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 351.3 518 cases ▼ 42% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 109.2 161 cases ▼ 55% | 243.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 10.2 15 cases ▼ 49% | 19.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.2 15 cases ▼ 35% | 15.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 14.2 21 cases ▼ 41% | 24 | 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 Randolph County, chlamydia has fallen from 404.4 to 351.3 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 158.8 to 109.2 per 100,000 (31%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.4 to 10.2 per 100,000 (629%).

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 Randolph County.
Local HIV snapshot
Randolph County HIV care continuum (2023)
Randolph County recorded 6.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Randolph County residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 74.4% 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 Randolph County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
North Main Street cuts through a town where most households own their homes and a fair share are raising families under one roof, which shapes how health decisions get together here. Nearly half of adults in Archdale are married, and with households averaging just over three people, a conversation about STI screening is rarely just a personal one. That family structure can make routine testing feel either normalized within a household or quietly deferred, depending on who brings it up first. The Randolph County STI figures give that context some weight.
Young adults, people building new relationships through their twenties and into their early thirties, account for a real slice of Archdale's population, and those years carry outsized risk for common infections that often produce no symptoms. With about a third of residents renting, many in and around neighborhoods like Ravenwood and Robins Nest, and typical rents that leave limited room for unexpected costs, the fee structure at the options listed on this page matters as much as their hours. Randolph County's reported rates reflect what happens when screening stays irregular. For someone living here, keeping current means fewer gaps in a county where the numbers are already worth watching.

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