STD Testing in District Heights, MD: Free, Same-Day & Confidential

Spanish and Multilingual Care Staffed Into Every Visit

Greater Baden Medical Services has Spanish-speaking staff integrated into clinical operations, not routed through an external service, so conversations about symptoms, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions happen directly between clinician and patient. Interpretation for other languages is also available on-site.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here

Without an integrated prevention program, a conversation about PrEP or PEP too often ends at a recommendation and a follow-up appointment somewhere else: meaning the prescription, the baseline labs, and the monitoring all belong to a different calendar. Greater Baden Medical Services writes and manages both PrEP and PEP internally, keeping that chain unbroken.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through the Same Clinic

Greater Baden Medical Services treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan without sending patients to a specialist practice. Keeping medication initiation and viral-load monitoring inside the same care relationship.

Spanish Spoken by Staff, Interpretation Beyond That

Spanish is a working clinical language here, not a supplemental accommodation: staff conduct intake, counseling, and treatment conversations directly in Spanish. For other languages, the clinic coordinates interpretation services that function within the appointment itself, so nothing about the visit depends on a patient translating their own care.

Title X Confidentiality Extends to Minors' Records

As a Title X site, Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington DC provides legally confidential family planning services to minors, meaning those records are protected independently of a parent's insurance or account. That status makes it possible for a younger patient to seek STI testing, contraception, or counseling without that visit appearing on a family plan's explanation of benefits.

The clinic carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services: prescribing, monitoring, and managing them directly rather than routing patients elsewhere. For someone without a primary care provider or paying out of pocket, having both prevention medications available under sliding-scale fees at the same site where testing happens removes the need to maintain two separate clinical relationships.

Spanish Is a Full Clinical Language Here

Spanish is a full service language at Family and Medical Counseling Service, not a supplemental accommodation, meaning history-taking, STI counseling, treatment decisions, and follow-up are all conducted directly in Spanish by the care team, without mediation.

Hepatitis C Treatment Stays in This Building

Family and Medical Counseling Service treats hepatitis C on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed treatment plan within the same practice. The clinical relationship that caught the infection is the one that resolves it.

Substance-Use Treatment Is Part of the Clinical Picture

Substance-use treatment is available alongside STI care at Family and Medical Counseling Service, which means conditions that frequently intersect can be addressed by the same practice rather than handed off, keeping the care plan coherent across both.
