Hopewell Health Centers in New Lexington screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and herpes on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone, with Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance also accepted; appointments are required, and bacterial STIs are treated the same visit.
Hopewell runs a five-pathogen panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and herpes) rather than stopping at the conventional four. That herpes test runs through the same appointment, the same draw, no separate scheduling required.
Hopewell Health Centers has interpretation services integrated into its scheduling process, so a non-English speaker books an appointment the same way any patient does and arrives knowing language support is arranged. Not improvised on arrival. The clinical conversation, including test counseling, runs through that service rather than around it.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Perry County, the county that includes Crooksville, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#71 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 19% of the state
| Infection | Perry County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 180 64 cases ▼ 61% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 22.5 8 cases ▼ 87% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.8 1 cases ▼ 83% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 9.2 | 16 |

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 Perry County, chlamydia has fallen from 251.4 to 180 per 100,000 (28%), gonorrhea has fallen from 59.3 to 22.5 per 100,000 (62%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.8 to 2.8 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Perry County.
Local HIV snapshot
Perry County HIV care continuum (2023)
Perry County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Perry County residents living with HIV, 82.9% are in care · 74.3% 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.
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 Perry County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Many young adults land in Crooksville drawn by affordable rent and family ties (grandparents, aunts, cousins already rooted here) or the steadiness of work that doesn't demand a college degree. That mix of stability and constraint shapes how people think about health. Testing for sexually transmitted infections happens quietly in Crooksville, without fanfare or the sense that the whole town is watching. The clinics and providers listed on this page understand that confidentiality isn't theater; it's the baseline expectation, especially in a place where people recognize faces at the grocery store and word travels.
Multigenerational households are common here, which can make private medical decisions feel less straightforward. A young adult might share a bathroom with a parent, worry about a bill arriving at a shared address, or simply prefer not to bump into someone from church in a waiting room. Testing in and around Crooksville can happen at locations where that privacy is genuine and where staff don't treat caution as suspicion. Routine screening, particularly for those sexually active, deserves the same matter-of-fact approach as any other preventive care.
Results stay confidential by law; no employer, school, or family member learns the outcome unless you choose to tell them. The point is catching infections early, when they're easiest to treat, and moving forward without shame.
Getting there
At 4.37/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Crooksville 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 Ohio 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 Ohio, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Ohio 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.
