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.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Hometown Health Center in Newport is a community health center, meaning STI care sits within a broader clinical infrastructure: appointments required, sliding-scale fees accepted by all, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, alongside HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines. Substance-use treatment is part of what this practice does.

Herpes and Hepatitis C Added to the Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Hometown Health Center tests for herpes and hepatitis C. Conditions that require separate assays not bundled into a standard four-pathogen draw. That means a single appointment covers viral infections that would otherwise need a separate clinical order elsewhere.

Substance-Use Treatment Runs Alongside STI Care

Hometown Health Center carries an active substance-use treatment program within the same practice, not a referral network, but clinical services the center itself delivers. For patients whose substance use intersects with STI risk, both conditions can be addressed under the same provider relationship and care record.

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.

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 Somerset County tests for syphilis.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Detroit often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Maine

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Maine 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 Maine, 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)

Maine 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.
