Fees & payment
Kintegra Health in Asheboro runs by appointment, so every visit is structured around your time: same visit covers the full panel, sliding-scale fees apply to everyone, and gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are treated on the spot. Spanish and interpretation services are available throughout.
Kintegra Health delivers care in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, which means clinical conversations (history, results, treatment options) happen with genuine back-and-forth rather than one-way instruction. That changes what a patient actually walks out understanding.
Prevention prescriptions routinely get handed off to primary care or infectious disease practices, Kintegra Health writes PrEP and PEP in-house, keeping the prevention side of HIV care in the same place as testing, with dedicated coverage for uninsured patients seeking PrEP.
Kintegra Health tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Meaning a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower screen would leave undetected and unaddressed.

MainStreet Family Care in Liberty takes walk-in visits, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB under one sliding-scale fee structure, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP and PEP available for prevention.
Many testing sites hand off prevention medication to a separate prescriber, leaving patients to navigate a second appointment elsewhere. MainStreet Family Care initiates and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, so ongoing HIV prevention doesn't stall between providers.
The panel at MainStreet Family Care extends to herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, infections the basic four-test screen leaves unaddressed. That breadth means a single visit surfaces viral exposures that a narrower panel would miss entirely.

Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Thomasville takes walk-ins, no appointment needed, and handles the full standard panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) plus herpes and hepatitis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections on a sliding-scale fee schedule.
Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Thomasville runs herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside the core bacterial and viral panel: a standing capability that serves anyone without a regular provider who needs a complete picture at one visit, especially when paying out of pocket and ordering tests piecemeal elsewhere adds up fast.
The clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, supporting the adherence monitoring and counseling that ongoing prevention medication requires. Meaning the follow-up lab work and medication education stay with the same clinical team rather than getting scattered across separate appointments.
Without interpretation services at the point of care, a missed nuance in symptom history or treatment instructions can mean an incomplete prescription, a missed diagnosis, or a follow-up that never happens. Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Thomasville has interpretation services on hand so nothing in the clinical conversation gets lost before treatment begins.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Randolph County, the county that includes Asheboro, compare with North Carolina 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.
#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 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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%).
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 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
Near Bicentennial Park, where North Fayetteville Street bends toward the older residential blocks, the everyday rhythm of getting screened for STIs comes down to one simple question: can you fit it around everything else you already have going on? Asheboro is a renter-majority city where monthly housing costs stay modest by most measures, yet with only one in ten households clearing six figures and unemployment running meaningfully above comfortable, the margin for extra costs or missed work is thin. Average households here run closer to three people, and with just under half of adults married, a significant share of residents are navigating relationships and new partnerships at precisely the ages when STI rates tend to run highest.
Young adults still forming those connections, people in their late teens and twenties living in neighborhoods like Franklin Village or Hamlet Lakes, benefit most from options that don't require burning half a day off work or crossing the county just to confirm their status. That workforce reality matters.
Getting there
At 5.82/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Asheboro 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 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.
