Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 28 reviews
New Hope Family Medicine in Wilmington accepts Medicaid and most insurance for STI care, with fees scaled to income for everyone else.

PrEP Prescribed Here, No Outside Steps
When prevention requires a prescription, PrEP or PEP, gaps in the referral chain can mean days without coverage. New Hope Family Medicine prescribes and manages both directly, so neither a delay in finding a willing provider nor a lapse between visits becomes the reason prevention didn't happen.
Herpes and Hepatitis Added to the Standard Panel
New Hope tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the core bacterial and viral infections. That broader sweep means a single visit can surface something that would otherwise stay hidden until symptoms, or a partner's diagnosis, prompted a separate round of testing.

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 New Castle County residents living with HIV, 83% are in care · 72.6% are virally suppressed.

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.
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 New Castle County tests for syphilis.

Kirkwood Highway cuts through the daily rhythm of Dunlinden Acres in a way that makes it easy to mistake busyness for stability, and for younger adults renting their first place along Newport Gap Pike, that momentum is exactly when routine screening tends to slip off the calendar entirely. The community here skews toward established households: most residents own their homes, nearly half are married, and average household size suggests a lot of two-person and small-family units spread across neighborhoods like Greenville Overlook and Tall Trees. But that settled majority sits alongside a meaningful younger share navigating the life stage when STI rates climb, people in their late teens and twenties forming new partnerships, often while managing rent close to $1,400 a month and the coverage gaps that come with job changes or aging off a parent's plan.
With nearly a quarter of households earning above six figures and unemployment relatively low, the barrier here isn't usually cost in absolute terms. It's time and the mental load of booking an appointment around a full work schedule. With the testing options listed here, the practical question is simply which one fits between a Tuesday meeting and pickup, and the answer, for most Dunlinden Acres addresses, is closer than it first seems.

Confidentiality & consent in DelawareMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Delaware 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 Delaware, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Delaware 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.
