Substance-Use Treatment Lives in the Same Building

Sexual health and substance use intersect in ways that most STI clinics simply aren't equipped to address, the testing happens, but the broader picture doesn't. Sadler Health Center carries substance-use treatment as a standing service alongside STI care, so both conversations can happen with the same clinical team without routing anyone elsewhere.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Core Panel

For anyone without a regular primary-care provider (paying on a sliding scale, managing multiple health concerns at once) having hepatitis B and C testing available at the same appointment as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia means fewer gaps to fill. Sadler Health Center covers that extended panel directly, with hepatitis B vaccination on-site as well.

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

Confidentiality & consent in Pennsylvania

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

Two things that actually depend on Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, 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)

Pennsylvania 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.
