Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Third Street carries PrEP, daily oral medication that blocks HIV acquisition, alongside PEP for post-exposure prevention, both prescribed and managed on-site. Having both options at a single practice means ongoing PrEP monitoring and time-sensitive PEP access don't require separate providers.

STI Care Paired With Substance-Use Treatment

Third Street Family Health Services runs substance-use treatment within the same practice as its STI program: a standing capability that serves anyone whose substance use and sexual health are intertwined and who'd otherwise need to coordinate across separate clinics, insurances, and schedules.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Many clinics cap their STI panels at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, leaving herpes and hepatitis to a separate referral. Third Street tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB alongside the core panel, and manages hepatitis treatment on-site rather than offloading it.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Kno Ho Co Ashland Community Action Commission in Ashland runs on a sliding-scale fee structure open to everyone, with Medicaid accepted, and tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV. Bacterial infections treated same visit, appointments required.

Prevention Prescriptions Written at This Clinic

Plenty of testing sites hand off prevention prescribing to a separate provider entirely. Kno Ho Co Ashland Community Action Commission writes PrEP and PEP prescriptions in-house, so ongoing HIV prevention, whether daily or post-exposure, stays with the same clinical team doing the testing.

Herpes Testing Included in the Standard Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV, Kno Ho Co Ashland Community Action Commission also tests for herpes, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would simply leave unaddressed.

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.

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 Ashland County tests for syphilis.

About Bailey Lakes, OH

Main Street in Bailey Lakes carries the quiet arithmetic of a place where most households own their homes and most adults are working, yet a meaningful share rent at rates well below state norms, and paychecks still stretch carefully when high earners are relatively few. That economic texture shapes everyday decisions, including health ones: when a copay or lab fee feels like a real trade-off against rent, a routine STI screening can wait longer than it should. That delay lands hardest on younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are forming relationships and navigating new partners, because Ashland County's STI picture reflects the same pattern seen everywhere: those years carry disproportionate risk, and late detection is what turns a manageable infection into a longer-term problem.

A household running on one income, or a working adult whose schedule is already full (labor-force participation here is high), needs options that don't require half a day off. The good news is that the clinic listed here includes hours and fee details worth reading before assuming cost or timing rules it out, the actual numbers are often better than the assumption.

Confidentiality & consent in Ohio

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

Two things that actually depend on Ohio 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 Ohio, 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)

Ohio 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.
