A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Every Service Runs Without a Bill
Every test, treatment, and prevention visit at Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center carries no charge. That means hepatitis C treatment, HIV medical management, and PrEP prescriptions all move forward on the same financial footing as a routine STI screening. Nothing is priced out of reach before it starts.
ASL, Haitian Creole, Chinese, French. Staffed for Real
Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center in Creswell maintains direct language capacity in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole (plus Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese) meaning clinical conversations about medication adherence, test results, and treatment plans happen in the language the provider is actually working in, not routed through an add-on service.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
For someone without a regular prescriber, Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center holds the full PrEP and PEP pipeline in-house (initiation, follow-up labs, and ongoing prescription management) and covers PrEP for uninsured patients, so the medication itself doesn't become the obstacle after the clinical decision is already made.

Rated 2.8 out of 5 from 5 reviews
Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health in Columbia tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C, treating bacterial infections the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee that extends to zero, with appointments required.
Read full overviewShow less
Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health carries a sliding-scale structure that bottoms out at no charge, for the full panel, vaccinations, and treatment alike. That single policy means nothing on the visit menu is selectively waived; the zero-cost tier covers the entire scope of services offered.
Spanish-Language Care Is Staffed, Not Improvised
Spanish-language capacity at Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health is embedded in how services are delivered, not assembled on request. Counseling, prevention education, and STI care run directly in Spanish, so clinical conversations carry the same depth as any other appointment.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Testing Alongside the Core Panel
The panel at Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health adds hepatitis A, B, and C testing to the gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV screen, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would simply leave undetected.
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 less than a mile away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Creswell, 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 (opens in a new tab) 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Creswell's Meadowbrook side of town runs quiet on weekday mornings: driveways empty early, households larger than the state average, and more than half of residents carrying a mortgage or lease that leaves little cushion for unexpected costs. That financial reality shapes health decisions in practical ways: when the share of households clearing six figures is vanishingly small, an out-of-pocket lab bill can genuinely delay care, which is why the sliding-scale and low-cost options listed on this page carry real weight here. Half of Creswell's adults are married, and household sizes trend toward families rather than solo renters. A dynamic that quietly shifts who thinks routine screening applies to them.
But younger adults, particularly people in their late teens and twenties still building relationships and navigating new partnerships, remain the group where STIs circulate most actively, and Washington County's rate data on this page reflects that pattern. Getting tested shouldn't require arguing with a schedule: with labor-force participation around half the adult population, many residents work hours that make a weekday clinic visit genuinely complicated. Bookmark the clinic options listed here before you need them, then the next time you're already heading out past Washington County Veterans Field, the nearest site is already in your route.

Confidentiality & consent in North Carolina
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on North Carolina 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 North Carolina, 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)
North Carolina 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.
