Mobile Medical Care in Rockville tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on a sliding scale open to all payers; appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis Caught Here, Not Later

Leaving herpes or hepatitis A, B, or C undetected means a second appointment somewhere else, a separate lab order, and a gap during which neither condition is managed. Mobile Medical Care runs the full extended panel in-house, so nothing requires a follow-up referral to a different facility before treatment or monitoring can begin.

PrEP Covered Even Without Insurance

Mobile Medical Care carries PrEP for patients without insurance, a dedicated pathway that keeps Truvada or Descovy accessible beyond the standard insured population, and also provides PEP for post-exposure situations, making the clinic a standing resource for both ends of HIV prevention.

Clinical Services Reach Non-English Speakers Directly

Someone managing medication adherence counseling or navigating PrEP dosing in a second language carries real risk when instructions get filtered or compressed. Mobile Medical Care in Rockville provides interpretation services for non-English languages, so those clinical conversations (dosing schedules, follow-up timing, treatment instructions) land clearly the first time.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 106 reviews

DocDX in Rockville requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB in a single visit, with fees billed to Medicare or insurance on a sliding scale.

Read full overview

Beyond the Basic Four: Herpes and Hepatitis Included

A standard STI panel stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Leaving herpes and hepatitis to a separate appointment somewhere else. DocDX tests for herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core panel, so one visit closes gaps that a narrower clinic would leave open.

Substance-Use Treatment Runs Alongside STI Care

DocDX carries substance-use treatment as a standing service next to STI care, which matters acutely when someone managing active dependency needs STI treatment but has no separate provider coordinating both. Handling it in one place means nothing gets deferred while the two sides of care wait on each other.

Spanish and Interpretation Remove a Second Appointment

When a language barrier forces a patient to return with a bilingual companion or reschedule with an interpreter arranged elsewhere, STI follow-up stretches across two visits and risks going unfinished. DocDX provides Spanish-language care and interpretation services directly, so treatment decisions and counseling happen at the appointment that was already scheduled.

CCI Health Services

CCI Health Services in Wheaton tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, with fees on a sliding scale open to everyone, by appointment.

Read full overview

ASL and Spanish Spoken Directly, No Workarounds

CCI Health Services carries ASL capability and Spanish alongside interpretation services for other languages as standing clinical tools: meaning someone who signs, speaks Spanish, or needs another language gets that access woven into the appointment itself, not arranged around it. For anyone whose primary language isn't English, that difference shapes whether they leave with full clarity or partial answers.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, Ongoing

CCI Health Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means prevention medication and the clinical relationship to sustain it live at the same address: no separate prescriber to track down, and PrEP coverage extends to uninsured patients specifically.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at CCI

Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a positive antibody result can set off a chain of specialist referrals and scheduling gaps that let the infection run unmanaged for months. CCI Health Services in Wheaton closes that gap, diagnosis and treatment both happen within the same practice, so a confirmed result moves straight to a care plan.

Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare in Kensington tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, HIV, and TB, accepting insurance for coverage; appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.

Read full overview

Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, meaning prevention doesn't depend on a separate provider visit. A patient who tests negative and wants to stay that way can leave with a prescription in hand the same appointment.

Leaving herpes or hepatitis untested means a second appointment elsewhere, possibly weeks later, possibly uncovered. Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare runs herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside the bacterial and HIV panel, so those gaps close here rather than surfacing later.

Every Service Here Carries Zero Cost

HIV tests, STI treatment, PrEP, mpox and HPV vaccines, TB screening and treatment. Every line item at Montgomery County DHHS in Silver Spring runs without a fee. That holds regardless of insurance status: sliding-scale fees bottom out at zero, and free STI and HIV testing is built into the core program.

French and Spanish, Straight Into Your Visit

Montgomery County DHHS conducts care directly in French and Spanish, which means clinical conversations (risk counseling, PrEP initiation, medication adherence education) happen in full without compression or delay.

Ryan White Closes the Gap Between Diagnosis and Treatment

Without Ryan White funding, a positive HIV result often means weeks navigating separate providers and coverage gaps before treatment starts. At Montgomery County DHHS in Silver Spring, Ryan White support sustains HIV medical treatment and medication adherence counseling within the same program where testing happens.

Marys Center

Rated 2.7 out of 5 from 172 reviews

Mary's Center in Silver Spring runs on scheduled appointments, so a single visit can cover HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C testing alongside same-visit bacterial treatment, all on a sliding-scale fee, with Spanish and French spoken on staff.

Read full overview

Spanish and French Spoken at Every Stage

When a diagnosis lands in a language you're still translating in your head, the details that shape your treatment (timing, side effects, follow-up) can blur or drop entirely. At Mary's Center in Silver Spring, Spanish and French aren't routed through a separate channel; clinical staff conduct the conversation directly, so nothing critical is lost between the question and the answer.

Family Planning Extends to Confidential Minor Services

Most STI clinics that offer family planning do so without any framework protecting a younger patient's privacy from a parent or guardian. Mary's Center operates under Title X, which means minors can access family planning services, including STI testing and contraception, with the confidentiality protections that designation legally requires.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Mary's Center in Silver Spring prescribes and manages all three prevention medications: PrEP (daily oral HIV prophylaxis requiring regular viral-load and kidney monitoring), PEP (the post-exposure HIV regimen), and DoxyPEP (doxycycline taken after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STI risk). Each involves an ongoing clinical relationship (lab work, dosing review, refills) handled within the same practice.

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.

Montgomery County recorded 10.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 13.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Montgomery County residents living with HIV, 93.9% know their status · 65.1% are in care · 60.3% 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.

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.

Confidentiality & consent in Maryland Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Maryland 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 Maryland, 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)

Maryland 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.
