Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
Sliding-scale clinics typically still leave some patients with a bill at checkout. CCI Health Services charges nothing for any service it provides (not the tests, not the treatments, not the vaccines) full stop.
ASL, Mandarin, French, Haitian Creole on Staff
STI care often hinges on nuance that generic interpretation services flatten. CCI Health Services delivers care directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole (alongside Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) so clinical conversations carry their full weight.
DoxyPEP Joins PrEP and PEP on the Prevention Menu
CCI Health Services maintains all three current bacterial and viral prevention tools simultaneously: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after sexual exposure, to reduce gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis acquisition.

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 Montgomery County residents living with HIV, 93.9% know their status · 65.1% are in care · 60.3% 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 Montgomery County tests for syphilis.

Connecticut Avenue anchors Chevy Chase Section Five's daily rhythm, the tree-lined corridor where Rollingwood and Chevy Chase Manor meet an ownership culture so deep that renters represent a sliver of the population. That stability is real, but it comes with a particular kind of cost pressure: a town where the typical home clears seven figures and the rare rental runs well over three thousand a month is one where discretionary spending gets scrutinized, and healthcare decisions, including routine screening, can get quietly folded into a mental calculus about what feels necessary right now. What makes that worth naming is the household makeup here.
Most adults are married, household sizes trend larger than the national average, and labor-force participation is high: meaning most people are genuinely busy managing careers, families, and homes that demand constant upkeep. Young adults still forming relationships represent a smaller share of this community than in many places, but that's precisely why easy access matters: when the community skews toward established households, the infrastructure for sexual health care rarely gets optimized for younger adults in their twenties who need routine testing and may not have a long-standing relationship with a local provider.

Confidentiality & consent in MarylandMinor 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.
