Spanish and Interpretation Services Built Into Every Visit
Elaine Ellis Center of Health carries Spanish-language care and interpretation services for other languages as a standing clinical capability: meaning anyone navigating STI testing, PrEP counseling, or hepatitis treatment without strong English fluency gets the same depth of conversation, not a shortened version of it.
PrEP and PEP Available, Covered for the Uninsured
Elaine Ellis Center of Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, and carries PrEP coverage for uninsured patients, which means the medication itself, not just the prescription, is within reach without a separate pharmacy or assistance program hunt.
Hepatitis C Treatment Stays Inside This Clinic
Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a positive antibody result sends patients into a separate specialist queue. Weeks of delay during which the virus continues to progress. At Elaine Ellis Center of Health in College Park, treatment follows diagnosis within the same clinical team, closing that gap entirely.

Marys Center

Mary's Center in Adelphi tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes on a sliding-scale fee that runs to zero, every service is free for those who qualify, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Read full overviewShow less
Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
All services at Mary's Center are provided at no fee, which means a positive bacterial result doesn't trigger a separate billing conversation before treatment begins. The diagnosis and the prescription land in the same visit.
Spanish-Language Care Is Fully Staffed Here
Spanish-language care at Mary's Center is delivered by staff who conduct intake, counseling, and treatment discussions directly in Spanish: HIV test counseling, medication adherence education, and PrEP management all happen without a language intermediary in the room.
PrEP and PEP Where Most Clinics Only Test
Testing-only sites routinely leave prevention medication to primary care physicians who may not specialize in HIV. Mary's Center prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, so prevention isn't deferred to a separate provider relationship.
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.

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.

CCI Health Services in Greenbelt requires an appointment and covers HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee; bacterial infections are treated same visit, and HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines are available on-site.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at CCI
CCI Health Services carries hepatitis C care through to treatment: clinicians prescribe and monitor direct-acting antiviral therapy on-site, rather than handing results to a patient and leaving the therapeutic course to another provider. Sustained virologic response is tracked through follow-up appointments within the same practice.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Without Sending You Elsewhere
Without on-site PrEP and PEP access, the gap between needing prevention medication and actually starting it can stretch into weeks. A delay that carries real clinical consequence. CCI Health Services in Greenbelt prescribes both directly, and covers PrEP costs for uninsured patients through a dedicated program.
ASL Fluency and Spanish Among CCI's Clinical Languages
CCI Health Services operates in American Sign Language, Spanish, and through interpretation services for additional languages: meaning the clinical conversation itself, including medication counseling and test-result review, runs in the same language a patient uses to make medical decisions. That linguistic reach is staffed, not patched in at the front desk.

AbsoluteCARE of MD2 in Greenbelt meets patients where they are: between providers, paying out of pocket, or working with a tight budget. Federal qualification backs its sliding-scale fee structure, making syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening financially within reach for anyone who walks in.
Special Care in Silver Spring charges a fee on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid and most insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and no appointment required. Staff speak French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish.

Three Languages, Spoken by Staff Directly
French, Haitian Creole, and Spanish are spoken by Special Care's own clinical staff. Three distinct languages covering a wide swath of Silver Spring's population. That direct fluency shapes every part of care, from counseling on medication adherence to PrEP education, without routing through a separate service.
PEP Is Dispensed Here, Not Deferred
Many prevention-focused clinics offer PrEP but stop short of prescribing PEP, sending patients elsewhere for that medication. Special Care manages both, meaning ongoing PrEP initiation and PEP prescribing happen within the same practice in Silver Spring.
Herpes and Three Hepatitis Strains on the Panel
Special Care tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside the standard bacterial and viral panel. That breadth matters because hepatitis C in particular often goes undetected without an explicit order, and herpes testing requires a separate, specific assay that not every clinic runs.

CCI-Ora Glen in Greenbelt earned its federally qualified health center designation partly by committing to sliding-scale fees tied directly to income, meaning anyone who walks in pays only what their finances allow. STI screening covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, and as a Title X grantee it provides legally confidential services for minors.
Prince Georges County Health Department in Cheverly runs STI care through the infrastructure of a public health department: meaning the full panel of HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis tests, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines, all at no fee.

Every Service Here Carries No Balance
When cost becomes the reason someone delays care, an untreated bacterial infection becomes a longer-term problem. Prince Georges County Health Department charges nothing (no fee at checkout, no sliding-scale floor) for testing, treatment, and vaccines, removing the financial stop that turns a single visit into months of postponement.
Spanish Care That Goes Beyond the Test
Spanish-speaking patients frequently leave clinics having received results but not the counseling or follow-up that should accompany them, because staff capable of that conversation simply aren't there. At Prince Georges County Health Department, Spanish is a working clinical language across HIV counseling, treatment navigation, and prevention education.
Ryan White Funds Continuous HIV Medical Care Here
Ryan White funding at Prince Georges County Health Department underwrites an unbroken arc from a rapid or conventional HIV test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment: prescriptions managed, adherence counseled, and care sustained without the patient needing to source a separate provider to continue what the test started.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 1 mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to College Park, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

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.

Baltimore Avenue cuts straight through the heart of College Park, and most of the clinics listed here sit within a fifteen-minute drive along US 1 or a quick turn onto Greenbelt Road. Close enough that a lunch break or a gap between classes can realistically cover the round trip. That proximity matters in a city where the overwhelming majority of residents are in their late teens and twenties, exactly the years when new partnerships are most common and when routine screening tends to get treated as optional rather than essential. The household picture here adds its own texture: with most residents renting at rates around fifteen hundred dollars a month and fewer than one in five adults married, this is a community of people managing tight budgets and flexible, often solo living arrangements.
Larger average household sizes in neighborhoods like Lakeland and Berwyn suggest multi-person rentals and shared living, situations where partners shift and privacy around health decisions isn't always straightforward. With just over half the adult population in the labor force, schedules vary widely: some people have long open mornings, others are piecing together multiple jobs with no predictable free window. The options on this page reflect that range. Whether you're coming from Acredale or walking over from near Riversdale House Museum, there's likely a location and time slot that doesn't require rearranging your week.

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.
