Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Conway, NH. The nearest, White Mountain Community Health Center, is about 2.4 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
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.

White Mountain Community Health Center in Conway tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: all on a sliding-scale fee with Medicaid and private insurance accepted, and every service available at no cost to those who qualify. Appointments are required, and bacterial STIs are treated same visit.
White Mountain Community Health Center charges nothing to patients who qualify, and that zero-dollar floor applies across the full scope of care: testing, treatment, and vaccines alike. The practical effect: a herpes test and an HPV vaccine on the same visit carry the same cost as the visit itself.
Spanish-language services at White Mountain Community Health Center are delivered directly by staff: meaning clinical conversations about symptoms, treatment plans, and follow-up happen in Spanish within the appointment itself, not brokered through a separate channel after the fact.
White Mountain Community Health Center carries substance-use treatment as a standing clinical service alongside STI care, so a patient managing both conditions has their treatment monitored and adjusted within a single integrated record. No separate enrollment, no divided care team.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Carroll County, the county that includes Conway, compare with New Hampshire and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#10 of 10 New Hampshire counties for chlamydia, among the lowest in the state
| Infection | Carroll County | New Hampshire | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 76.3 40 cases ▼ 61% | 196.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 9.5 5 cases ▼ 77% | 41.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 1.9 1 cases ▼ 51% | 3.9 | 15.8 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Carroll County, chlamydia has fallen from 137.7 to 76.3 per 100,000 (45%), gonorrhea has fallen from 12 to 9.5 per 100,000 (21%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 3.9 to 1.9 per 100,000 (51%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Carroll County.
Local HIV snapshot
Carroll County HIV care continuum (2022)
Carroll County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 2.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Carroll County residents living with HIV, 69.2% are in care · 64.1% 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.
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 Carroll County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pine Hill sits at the quieter end of Conway's residential spread, where owner-occupied houses outnumber rentals by a considerable margin and most households include a partner or family members under the same roof. That shared-household texture matters for sexual health in a way the ownership figures alone don't convey: when two or three adults share a home, a positive result has ripple effects, and routine screening becomes a practical kindness to everyone in the house, not just a personal errand. Conway's labor force is nearly fully engaged, with unemployment barely registering, which means most working-age adults are holding down jobs, often seasonally demanding ones in the hills around Rattlesnake Mountain. Scheduling anything mid-week during daylight hours is genuinely hard for that crowd.
For the share of residents in their late teens and twenties, for whom chlamydia and gonorrhea rates are highest, a test that fits between a morning shift and an afternoon one is far more likely to actually happen than one requiring a full day's reorganization. The roughly one-in-five households here earning above six figures coexists with a much larger share managing on modest incomes, making low-cost options among the listed clinics genuinely consequential. Check the fee column on a clinic card before heading out on Eastman Road.
Getting there
At 6.6/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Conway generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on New Hampshire 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).
In New Hampshire, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
New Hampshire 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.
