How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare in Kensington tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, HIV, and TB, accepting insurance for coverage; appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Directly Here
Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, meaning prevention doesn't depend on a separate provider visit. A patient who tests negative and wants to stay that way can leave with a prescription in hand the same appointment.
Herpes and Hepatitis Caught at the Same Visit
Leaving herpes or hepatitis untested means a second appointment elsewhere, possibly weeks later, possibly uncovered. Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare runs herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside the bacterial and HIV panel, so those gaps close here rather than surfacing later.

CCI Health Services in Wheaton tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, with fees on a sliding scale open to everyone, by appointment.

ASL and Spanish Spoken Directly, No Workarounds
CCI Health Services carries ASL capability and Spanish alongside interpretation services for other languages as standing clinical tools: meaning someone who signs, speaks Spanish, or needs another language gets that access woven into the appointment itself, not arranged around it. For anyone whose primary language isn't English, that difference shapes whether they leave with full clarity or partial answers.
CCI Health Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means prevention medication and the clinical relationship to sustain it live at the same address: no separate prescriber to track down, and PrEP coverage extends to uninsured patients specifically.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at CCI
Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a positive antibody result can set off a chain of specialist referrals and scheduling gaps that let the infection run unmanaged for months. CCI Health Services in Wheaton closes that gap, diagnosis and treatment both happen within the same practice, so a confirmed result moves straight to a care plan.

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.

Montgomery County recorded 10.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 13.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. 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.
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.
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 threads through Chevy Chase View carrying commuters toward the Beltway, but the character of the place is shaped less by through-traffic than by what sits behind the hedgerows: a community where nearly two-thirds of adults are married, households run larger than most of suburban Maryland, and the overwhelming majority of residents own the homes they live in. That stability changes how health decisions get made: preventive care tends to happen when it fits a shared household calendar, coordinated around work schedules and family logistics rather than a spontaneous walk-in errand. Those household rhythms matter because younger adults living here, people in their late teens and twenties building relationships and starting families, are precisely the group for whom routine STI screening carries the most practical weight, even in a community where settled domestic life can make sexual health feel like someone else's concern.
Montgomery County's STI figures reflect the same patterns seen in peer jurisdictions, rates that accumulate quietly among people who feel fine and skip routine screening. For anyone living near Brookside Gardens or along the Kensington Estates side streets, staying current simply means the county's numbers don't include you.

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.
