Nationz Foundation in Henrico runs entirely on donated and grant funding, so every test and service carries no fee. Rapid HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis testing is available by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale access to PrEP.
Every service at Nationz Foundation (testing, treatment, prevention) is provided at no charge. That means a patient leaving with a prescription for DoxyPEP or starting PrEP faces no billing step afterward, no co-pay call, no outstanding balance to sort out later.
Many STI testing sites end their scope at the swab, prevention prescriptions get routed elsewhere. Nationz Foundation writes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly, so the full arc of bacterial and viral prevention is handled in the same appointment rather than across multiple providers.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Henrico County, the county that includes Dumbarton, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~37% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#21 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 84% of the state
| Infection | Henrico County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 595.7 1,994 cases ▲ 26% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 231.2 774 cases ▲ 46% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 22.7 76 cases ▲ 112% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14 47 cases ▲ 47% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 18.8 63 cases ▲ 19% | 15.8 | 29.5 |

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 Henrico County, chlamydia has risen from 590.9 to 595.7 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 272.4 to 231.2 per 100,000 (15%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 16.4 to 22.7 per 100,000 (38%).

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 Henrico County.
Local HIV snapshot
Henrico County HIV care continuum (2023)
Henrico County recorded 18.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Henrico County residents living with HIV, 84.9% are in care · 77% 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 Henrico County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Bryan Park sits at the northern edge of Dumbarton, a short walk from apartment complexes where three-quarters of residents rent rather than own. That renter-majority character shapes daily life in ways that reach further than housing: when most households move more frequently, share units with multiple people, and carry a typical monthly rent that leaves limited room for unbudgeted expenses, health decisions tend to get weighed against competing costs. With fewer than a third of adults married and average households running above three people, the community skews toward younger, unpartnered living arrangements, which means STI screening often falls to individuals navigating it without a shared routine or a partner prompting the conversation. Nearly nine in ten working-age residents are in the labor force, and unemployment here runs meaningfully above the national average, which means a significant share of people are job-seeking, working irregular hours, or piecing together income.
For the substantial portion of Dumbarton residents who are in their late teens and twenties, that economic pressure can make a clinic visit feel like a scheduling problem before it even becomes a health decision. Henrico County's STI figures are visible elsewhere on this page, and for anyone living near Libbie Mill or along Hilliard Road, those numbers describe the actual community context, not a distant abstraction. Staying current with screening is what keeps a person's own picture accurate inside that county-level story.
Getting there

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Virginia 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 Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Virginia 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.
