Every Service Here Carries No Balance
When cost becomes the reason someone delays care, an untreated bacterial infection becomes a longer-term problem. Prince Georges County Health Department charges nothing (no fee at checkout, no sliding-scale floor) for testing, treatment, and vaccines, removing the financial stop that turns a single visit into months of postponement.
Spanish Care That Goes Beyond the Test
Spanish-speaking patients frequently leave clinics having received results but not the counseling or follow-up that should accompany them, because staff capable of that conversation simply aren't there. At Prince Georges County Health Department, Spanish is a working clinical language across HIV counseling, treatment navigation, and prevention education.
Ryan White Funds Continuous HIV Medical Care Here
Ryan White funding at Prince Georges County Health Department underwrites an unbroken arc from a rapid or conventional HIV test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment: prescriptions managed, adherence counseled, and care sustained without the patient needing to source a separate provider to continue what the test started.
La Clinica del Pueblo in Hyattsville tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections when results call for it, on a sliding scale, with all services available at no fee and an appointment required.

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost
For anyone managing STI care without insurance, without a regular provider, or simply paying out of pocket, La Clinica del Pueblo's standing policy covers every service (testing, treatment, counseling) without a balance owed at any point in care.
Spanish Is the Working Language of Care
For a patient whose primary language is Spanish, La Clinica del Pueblo conducts the full visit (clinical intake, test counseling, treatment discussion) in Spanish natively, not as an accommodation layered onto an English-first system.
Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care End to End
La Clinica del Pueblo's HIV/AIDS medical treatment is structured under Ryan White Program funding, which means the continuum from a rapid HIV test through ongoing HIV medical management operates within a single, federally supported program rather than fragmenting across separate funding streams.

Spanish Spoken Directly, Changing What Gets Said
Elaine Ellis Center of Health carries Spanish-language services and broader interpretation for non-English speakers, which means a patient's full symptom picture, medication questions, and follow-up instructions travel accurately. Nothing compressed or left approximate because of a language gap.
Prevention Prescriptions Go Beyond the Standard Panel
Plenty of testing sites hand off prevention prescribing to outside providers, leaving patients to navigate a separate appointment for PrEP or PEP. Elaine Ellis Center of Health prescribes both on-site, keeping HIV prevention continuous and clinician-managed in the same place the testing happens.
Hepatitis C Treatment Completes Here
Elaine Ellis Center of Health treats hepatitis C on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed treatment course. No handoff to a separate gastroenterology or infectious disease practice before antiviral therapy can begin.

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.

Along Kenilworth Avenue, the rhythm of Edmonston reflects a community where multiple generations often share a home and work schedules run tight. That closeness, the comfort of family nearby, can make the question of where to get tested feel delicate. STD testing in and around Edmonston serves people who need straightforward access without disruption to their day, and clinics listed on this page understand that discretion matters when you live in a neighborhood where privacy requires intention. Young adults in their twenties and thirties make up a significant part of Edmonston's population, a group for whom routine screening fits naturally into health maintenance. Testing itself is quick; the real barrier is often just walking through the door.
Providers in the area keep visits confidential by default, your results don't surface in casual conversation, don't reach your employer, don't appear on a bill your family might see. Edmonston's households tend toward stability and higher income, which means many residents have insurance and the flexibility to seek care. For those without coverage, clinics and community health centers in Prince George's County offer sliding-scale fees. The testing sites available locally reflect a working population's needs: extended hours, minimal wait, and straightforward follow-up if results require it.

Confidentiality & consent in MarylandMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Maryland 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 Maryland, 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)
Maryland 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.
