A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Confidential Minor Care Is the Standard Here

Family planning clinics without Title X designation often leave younger patients navigating parental-consent questions with no clear answer. Coos County Family Health Services holds Title X status, which means confidential family planning services for minors are legally protected. Not a case-by-case accommodation, but a structural guarantee.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated in Berlin

Many clinics screen for hepatitis C and then hand the work off to a specialist elsewhere. At Coos County Family Health Services, hepatitis C treatment happens on-site. The same setting that ran the test can carry the care forward, alongside hepatitis B treatment as well.

The Panel Runs Past the Basic Four

Plenty of STI clinics test for the standard bacterial quartet and stop there. Coos County Family Health Services extends the panel to include hepatitis B and hepatitis C, infections that share transmission routes with common STIs but often go undetected when the testing menu is narrow.

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

It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Coos County tests for syphilis.

About Dummer, NH

Holt Hill anchors a township where nearly nine in ten households own their land: a settled, generational kind of place where families put down roots and stay. For younger adults still forming relationships, that kind of distance can quietly turn a straightforward appointment into something that keeps getting rescheduled. The household picture here (predominantly married, with families averaging nearly three people) means many residents have a partner whose health is tied to their own, and routine screening is as much about that shared household as it is about any individual.

At the same time, with unemployment running higher than state averages and labor-force participation below typical benchmarks, a meaningful share of residents are working around irregular schedules or stretched budgets, which shapes when and whether a trip up NH 16 actually happens. That cost question matters more than it might elsewhere. With typical rent low by regional standards and home values modest, many residents are managing carefully, and the difference in out-of-pocket fees between clinic options listed here can be the practical factor that determines whether someone books the visit at all.

Confidentiality & consent in New Hampshire

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

Two things that actually depend on New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire, 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)

New Hampshire 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.
