Randolph-Elkins Health Department, a public health department in Elkins, roots STI care in county public health infrastructure: meaning gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis B and C testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis A vaccines, all at no fee, by appointment.
Every service at Randolph-Elkins carries no fee, testing, treatment, vaccines included. That means the decision to get a full panel, follow through on treatment, or start a vaccine series never has a price attached to it.
Randolph-Elkins operates under Title X, the federal family planning program that extends legally confidential services to minors. Under that designation, a minor's test results and care records are protected independently of a parent's insurance or household.
The clinic tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so a single visit captures liver-affecting infections that often go undetected in a narrower screen.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Randolph County, the county that includes Beverly, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#29 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 47% of the state
| Infection | Randolph County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 190.1 52 cases ▼ 24% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 21.9 6 cases ▼ 60% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 10.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.3 2 cases ▲ 20% | 6.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 16.3 | 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 Randolph County, chlamydia has fallen from 358 to 190.1 per 100,000 (47%), gonorrhea has fallen from 68 to 21.9 per 100,000 (68%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.6 to 7.2 per 100,000 (100%).

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 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Randolph County residents living with HIV, 75.7% are in care · 70.3% 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.
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
The Beverly Historic District anchors daily life in a town where roughly half of residents rent, often at some of the lowest monthly costs you'll find anywhere in the Appalachian highlands. That affordability keeps households here, but it also signals how tight the margins run: with fewer than one in twenty households clearing six figures and unemployment running notably high, an unexpected medical bill or a half-day away from work can quietly cancel plans that seemed settled the morning before.
Those pressures land hardest on younger adults still building out their lives, the people in their late teens and twenties for whom routine screening tends to get postponed not from indifference but from cost and calendar math. Beverly's labor-force participation is nearly split down the middle, meaning a significant share of residents operate outside standard nine-to-five rhythms, whether through caregiving, informal work, or job gaps. Checking the hours and fees on the options listed in and around Beverly before committing to a trip along Beverly Pike or out toward CR 24 is worth doing, because the drive itself is a real consideration when transportation isn't always a given.
Average household size here is above the national norm, with just over a third of adults married, which means many residents share space across multiple relationship configurations. Testing is straightforwardly practical in that context. Start with the clinic cards on this page, note the sliding-scale fees, and map the route from Main Street before the appointment.
Getting there
At 5.48/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Beverly 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
West Virginia 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.
