Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 25 reviews

La Clinica del Pueblo in Hyattsville tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections when results call for it, on a sliding scale, with all services available at no fee and an appointment required.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost

For anyone managing STI care without insurance, without a regular provider, or simply paying out of pocket, La Clinica del Pueblo's standing policy covers every service (testing, treatment, counseling) without a balance owed at any point in care.

Spanish Is the Working Language of Care

For a patient whose primary language is Spanish, La Clinica del Pueblo conducts the full visit (clinical intake, test counseling, treatment discussion) in Spanish natively, not as an accommodation layered onto an English-first system.

Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care End to End

La Clinica del Pueblo's HIV/AIDS medical treatment is structured under Ryan White Program funding, which means the continuum from a rapid HIV test through ongoing HIV medical management operates within a single, federally supported program rather than fragmenting across separate funding streams.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 76 reviews

Community of Hope in Washington tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee, with free HIV and STI testing available, plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; appointments are required.

Read full overview

Community of Hope's standing policy covers every service at no charge: testing, treatment, PrEP, hepatitis care, vaccines, and HIV medical management alike. For anyone without insurance, between coverage gaps, or simply paying out of pocket, there's no tier of services that becomes inaccessible because of cost.

French and Haitian Creole Are Clinic Languages Here

Community of Hope staffs care in Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, with interpretation available for other languages: making it the right fit for Washington residents whose primary language isn't English and who need to discuss medication, treatment plans, or prevention options with genuine fluency rather than workarounds.

PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

Community of Hope prescribes and monitors both PrEP and PEP directly: meaning the same clinical team handles the baseline labs, the prescription, and the follow-up testing at intervals required to keep PrEP safely on track, rather than splitting those steps across separate providers.

Washington Health Institute

Rated 3.6 out of 5 from 36 reviews

Washington Health Institute in Washington tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit; fees follow a sliding scale accepted by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurers. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Without on-site language support, a patient leaves Washington Health Institute with instructions they cannot act on. A prescription unfilled, a follow-up missed, a treatment course abandoned. Washington Health Institute staffs Spanish and interpretation services directly, so the clinical conversation that drives adherence and treatment completion happens at the appointment itself.

Ryan White Program funding at Washington Health Institute means antiretroviral therapy, viral-load monitoring, and ongoing HIV medical management are financially supported for eligible clients. Not just the initial diagnosis visit. The infrastructure keeps prescriptions active and lab work continuous rather than dependent on coverage gaps or out-of-pocket cycles.

Washington Health Institute prescribes PrEP, including Truvada and Descovy, and PEP on-site, with the follow-up HIV and renal monitoring those regimens require built into ongoing care. Keeping prescribing and monitoring at one clinic eliminates the handoff that interrupts adherence mid-course.

STDs & HIV in Prince George's County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Prince George's County, the county that includes Brentwood, compare with Maryland and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Among Prince George's County residents living with HIV, 88.4% know their status · 73.4% are in care · 66.5% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

Pregnant or planning to be? 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 Prince George's County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Brentwood, MD

Rhode Island Avenue threads through Brentwood as a daily commuter corridor, and that kind of built-in mobility shapes what getting screened actually looks like here. What gives Brentwood its particular texture, though, is the household profile. With average households running well above the national norm in size, and more than half of residents renting rather than owning, this is a community built around shared space, frequent contact, and the financial calculations that come with month-to-month budgets around $1,400 in rent. Nearly four in ten households still clear six figures, but cost awareness is real across the board, which means fee structures and sliding-scale options at the listed clinics carry genuine weight for how often people follow through.

Younger adults (people in their twenties and early thirties navigating new relationships, roommate situations, and evolving social lives) are well represented here, and routine STI screening fits most naturally when it doesn't require a half-day errand. With nearly four in five residents in the workforce, evening and weekend appointment windows aren't a perk; they're the deciding factor. Several of the options listed here offer exactly that, making a regular screening calendar something a Brentwood resident can realistically keep.

What each STD test costs Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Brentwood often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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

Two things that actually depend on Maryland 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 Maryland, 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)

Maryland 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.
