Parkersburg Infectious Disease in Vienna accepts Medicaid and most insurance for a panel spanning HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and appointments required to be seen.
Parkersburg Infectious Disease carries both PrEP and PEP prescriptions in-house, managed by infectious disease specialists rather than routed through a separate provider. That means the same clinical team handling your panel initiates and monitors ongoing PrEP, including the regular HIV and kidney-function labs the regimen requires.
Many practices stop at the hepatitis C antibody result and send patients elsewhere for a specialist referral. Parkersburg Infectious Disease in Vienna treats hepatitis C on-site (the antiviral course, the follow-up viral-load monitoring, the cure) without requiring patients to restart the intake process at another clinic.
A standard four-pathogen panel leaves herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C unscreened. Infections that require separate appointments at facilities equipped to test for them. Parkersburg Infectious Disease in Vienna folds all of those into a single panel alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so a missed hepatitis B or herpes diagnosis doesn't trail behind an otherwise complete workup.

Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in Vienna pairs STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid or conventional HIV) with family planning on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and interpretation services available for non-English languages.
Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which means HIV test counseling and PrEP discussions can unfold with the full clinical detail they require. Not compressed by a language gap at the moment it matters most.
Title X designation is the operative fact here: the federal program's confidentiality protections for minors are legally binding, meaning a young person can access STI testing, family planning, and related services without parental notification as a matter of law, not clinic discretion.
Prevention-only clinics often handle testing but send patients elsewhere to actually obtain PrEP or PEP prescriptions: Planned Parenthood South Atlantic writes both on-site, keeping the step between a prevention conversation and an active prescription inside a single appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Belpre, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#55 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 38% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 215.1 126 cases ▼ 53% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 49.5 29 cases ▼ 71% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.4 2 cases ▼ 79% | 16.3 | 15.8 |

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 Washington County, chlamydia has fallen from 217.5 to 215.1 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 75.3 to 49.5 per 100,000 (34%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.3 to 3.4 per 100,000 (3%).

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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2023)
Washington County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 79.6% are in care · 74.1% 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Testing for STDs in Belpre means planning ahead. The town sits along the Ohio River in a part of the state where clinics aren't clustered on every corner, so reaching care often requires a short drive or advance scheduling. That practical reality (distance, limited hours, the need to book ahead) shapes how residents approach screening. For those who grew up here and stayed, or younger adults just starting out, confidentiality during testing carries weight precisely because Belpre is the kind of place where people recognize faces and remember names.
Routine screening matters most in your twenties and thirties, when sexual health decisions are active and ongoing, yet the geography can make even a straightforward visit feel like something to coordinate. The clinics and providers listed on this page serve Belpre and the surrounding area. Many residents balance affordability with access: the cost of living stays modest, which can make health care feel within reach, though travel time or scheduling gaps may still require flexibility. Some facilities offer same-day or rapid results; others require a follow-up visit.
The confidentiality you receive is real and protected by law, not a courtesy extended at someone's discretion. Your choice of where to test often depends on what fits your schedule and which provider you trust. That decision is yours alone to make.
Getting there
At 9.26/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Belpre generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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