Rated 4.1 out of 5 from 179 reviews

Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Cornelius tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis, treating bacterial infections the same visit on a sliding-scale fee open to all. Walk-ins welcome, with interpretation services available for non-English speakers.

Read full overview

Interpretation Services Extend Beyond English at Every Step

Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Cornelius has interpretation services available for non-English languages, meaning the clinical conversation (exposure history, diagnosis, treatment instructions, medication adherence counseling) can happen in the language a patient actually uses to understand medical decisions.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, Not Tracked Down Elsewhere

Without PrEP and PEP available at the same clinic, a patient leaves with a prescription to chase and a window that keeps closing. Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Cornelius carries both, so ongoing HIV prevention and post-exposure management don't depend on a separate provider's schedule.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Sits Alongside the Core Panel

The panel at Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Cornelius extends to herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard four, which means infections that often go undetected in a narrower screen are caught in the same visit and can move directly to treatment or management.

Novant Health

No ratings yet

Novant Health in Huntersville pairs testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. All on a sliding-scale fee structure that accepts Medicaid and most insurance. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Language Access Built Into Every Appointment

Novant Health in Huntersville has interpretation services in place for non-English languages, meaning a patient managing hepatitis C treatment, navigating a PrEP regimen, or working through medication adherence education gets that guidance in their own language. Without a separate coordination step between them and their provider.

PrEP and PEP Available, With Ongoing HIV Management

Novant Health in Huntersville prescribes both PrEP and PEP, and carries that into full HIV/AIDS medical treatment, so a person who starts on prevention here can continue into long-term care at the same clinic rather than rebuilding a relationship with a new provider.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated Here

A hepatitis C diagnosis that goes unmanaged, because the treating specialist is months out or across town, extends the window of liver damage. Novant Health in Huntersville closes that gap by handling hepatitis C treatment on-site, so the path from diagnosis to active care runs through the same clinical team.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 55 reviews

Rosedale Health and Wellness in Huntersville runs by appointment, so every visit is structured, and a single one can cover HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, and vaccines, all on a sliding-scale fee and at no cost.

Read full overview

One Fee Structure Applies to Everything Here

Rosedale operates under a no-fee model that extends to the full scope of services: not just testing, but STI treatment, HIV/AIDS medical care, mpox vaccine, HPV vaccine, hepatitis A and adult hepatitis B vaccines, and medication adherence counseling. That single policy means no service gets priced differently from another.

Ryan White Funding Anchors HIV Care From Test to Treatment

Ryan White Program funding positions Rosedale as a clinic with the infrastructure to carry someone from an initial HIV test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence education, all within the same practice. For anyone without a regular HIV provider, that continuity is the whole point.

The Panel Includes Hepatitis B and C, Not Just the Four

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Rosedale tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, which means a single appointment surfaces infections that share transmission routes with the standard panel but are often screened separately, keeping results consolidated rather than scattered.

Spanish Is a Working Clinical Language Here

Clinical staff at Cabarrus Health Alliance conduct care in Spanish, so counseling about test results, treatment instructions, and prevention education land with the same precision as in English. Nothing gets compressed or skipped because of language.

Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality

As a Title X–funded site, Cabarrus Health Alliance provides family planning services to minors that are legally confidential. Not just policy-level private, but federally protected. That designation means a minor's records and services cannot be disclosed without their consent.

Charlotte Community Health Clinic in Charlotte requires an appointment, and that single visit covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections on a sliding-scale fee.

Spanish and Interpreted Care, Clearer Results

Charlotte Community Health Clinic conducts visits in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, which means test results, treatment instructions, and medication counseling land with the precision those conversations require.

Chasing down a separate prescriber for PrEP or PEP means extra appointments, extra cost, and days lost. Gaps Charlotte Community Health Clinic closes by issuing both prevention prescriptions on-site, keeping the path from risk assessment to medication direct.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis Leads Straight to Treatment

Charlotte Community Health Clinic treats hepatitis C on-site rather than stopping at diagnosis, so a confirmed antibody result moves directly into a managed treatment course without dispatching patients to find a specialist on their own.

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.

Among Mecklenburg County residents living with HIV, 87.1% know their status · 79.7% are in care · 70.8% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Mecklenburg County tests for syphilis.

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.
