Fees & payment
Compassion Health Care in Eden brings a community health model to STI care, pairing rapid and conventional HIV testing, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, TB, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit bacterial treatment; appointments required, with Spanish and interpretation services on staff.
Spanish is a staffed language at Compassion Health Care, meaning clinical conversations (symptom history, treatment instructions, medication counseling) happen directly without relay. For other languages, live interpretation services are integrated into appointments so that dosing instructions and follow-up plans are communicated with the same precision as any English-language visit.
Compassion Health Care carries standing prescribing authority for PrEP, making it a complete source for anyone who needs ongoing HIV prevention medication but lacks a primary care provider to manage it. The clinic handles both initiation and continuing care (the prescription, the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and the refill cadence) without sending patients elsewhere to complete the regimen.
Compassion Health Care treats hepatitis C on-site, not just flags it. A positive antibody result moves into active management within the same clinic (direct-acting antiviral therapy, liver-function monitoring, and sustained virologic response tracking) rather than exiting to a specialist network the patient must navigate independently.

Rockingham County Health and Human Services in Reidsville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee with insurance and Medicaid accepted; bacterial infections are treated same visit, and appointments are required.
The panel here extends to herpes alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. A fifth test that most county health departments don't run in-house. That addition means a single appointment covers both the most common bacterial infections and a viral one that often goes undiagnosed elsewhere.
Spanish-language care at Rockingham County HHS is staffed, not patched: clinical conversations about symptoms, treatment instructions, and follow-up happen directly between provider and patient without a relay. That means medication directions and any same-visit treatment plan are communicated in Spanish at the point of care.

SOVAH Health in Danville tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C, treating bacterial infections the same visit. Fees are billed to Medicaid or insurance, with a direct fee structure for others. An appointment is required.
Plenty of testing sites hand off prevention prescribing to a separate provider entirely. SOVAH Health in Danville keeps both PrEP and PEP in-house, meaning the clinician who reviews your results is the same one who can write and manage a prevention prescription before you leave.
The panel at SOVAH Health runs eight pathogens: gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, conventional HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C. A single appointment produces results across all eight, so clinicians can review the full picture together rather than piecing together labs ordered at separate visits.

| Gonorrhea | 7 days after exposure | 14 days after exposure |

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Rockingham County, the county that includes Eden, compare with North Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#58 of 100 North Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 42% of the state
| Infection | Rockingham County | North Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 382.6 354 cases ▼ 37% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 160 148 cases ▼ 34% | 243.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 21.6 20 cases ▲ 9% | 19.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.6 7 cases ▼ 52% | 15.8 | 16 |

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 Rockingham County, chlamydia has fallen from 432.5 to 382.6 per 100,000 (12%), gonorrhea has fallen from 202 to 160 per 100,000 (21%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.5 to 21.6 per 100,000 (293%).

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 Rockingham County.
Local HIV snapshot
Rockingham County HIV care continuum (2023)
Rockingham County recorded 11.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Rockingham County residents living with HIV, 82.2% are in care · 78.3% 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 Rockingham County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
North Van Buren Road stretches out as one of Eden's main corridors, and for many residents the nearest clinic listed on this page means loading up the car and committing real time to a round trip. With rent running well under a thousand dollars a month and home values among the more modest in the region, household budgets here tend to be tight, and that cost pressure shapes which health appointments actually get scheduled.
Nearly half of Eden's residents rent rather than own, and a relatively small share of households clear six figures, so an unexpected fee or an inconveniently timed appointment can quietly tip the scale against follow-through. The workforce picture adds another layer: with just over half of adults active in the labor force and unemployment running notably higher than national norms, schedules are not always nine-to-five but they are often unpredictable, making low-cost, flexible testing options the ones that realistically get used.
Those realities land hardest on younger adults, the late teens and twenties crowd who are also statistically the most likely to need STI screening. The options listed here span a range of fees and hours precisely because that range matters in a city shaped like Eden: households averaging nearly three people, close to half of adults married, and a community where the practical math of time and money is part of every health decision someone weighs.
Getting there
At 5.8/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Eden generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
North Carolina 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.
