Saint Louis County Department of Public Health in Pine Lawn sees patients without an appointment for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs: all on a sliding scale, with HIV and hepatitis B and C tests free.
The department staffs testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, PEP, and HIV medical management without charging a fee at the point of care. Not a reduced rate, not a copay tier. Medicaid and insurance are accepted, but neither is required to walk out having received full service.
For anyone paying cash, uninsured, or without a regular prescriber, the department holds standing capacity to initiate and monitor both PrEP and PEP on-site, including a dedicated PrEP program for uninsured patients, so neither medication requires routing through a separate clinic or specialist.
The department treats hepatitis C on-site, meaning a positive antibody result leads directly to a treatment plan managed by the same clinical team. Shortening the gap between diagnosis and a completed cure.

Williams and Associates in Saint Louis requires an appointment, so scheduling is the first step: then a single visit covers rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with STI treatment and counseling included, all at no fee.
When cost is part of the calculation (copays, lab fees, follow-up charges) gaps open up between testing and treatment. Williams and Associates closes that gap entirely: every test on the panel, every counseling session, and every treatment visit runs at no charge, leaving nothing unpaid on the back end.
Williams and Associates screens for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C as part of its standing panel, no separate order, no separate appointment. For anyone without a regular provider to coordinate additional labs, having viral hepatitis covered in the same visit means fewer moving parts and no testing left incomplete.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in St. Louis County, the county that includes Beverly Hills, compare with Missouri and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~32% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 115 Missouri counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 96% of the state
| Infection | St. Louis County | Missouri | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 635.3 6,271 cases ▲ 27% | 498.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 294.7 2,909 cases ▲ 46% | 201.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16 158 cases ▼ 26% | 21.5 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10 99 cases ▼ 19% | 12.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 30 296 cases ▼ 11% | 33.8 | 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 St. Louis County, chlamydia has risen from 603.8 to 635.3 per 100,000 (5%), gonorrhea has fallen from 339.5 to 294.7 per 100,000 (13%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 15.5 to 16 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 St. Louis County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Missouri is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
St. Louis County HIV care continuum (2023)
St. Louis County recorded 14.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among St. Louis County residents living with HIV, 75.9% are in care · 65.4% 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 St. Louis County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Natural Bridge Road cuts through a Beverly Hills where most households carry the weight of decisions together: average household sizes above two people, but with only a small share of adults married, those conversations about health and scheduling often happen between partners, roommates, or extended family rather than spouses. That communal texture shapes how people here actually follow through on routine care. The economic picture adds specificity to what "routine" means. With unemployment running notably above the national average and fewer than one in fourteen households clearing a six-figure income, a $904 median rent absorbs a real portion of what most people bring home.
St. Louis County's STI figures are not abstract for Beverly Hills. A substantial share of residents fall within the years when chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis circulate most actively, and for people managing variable work schedules and real cost pressures, staying current on screening is the practical thing that keeps those county-level numbers from becoming personal ones.

Two things that actually depend on Missouri 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 Missouri, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Missouri 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.
