Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Daydream Sunshine Initiative in Bowie tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and HIV, rapid and conventional, on a sliding scale, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required; all services are provided at no fee.

Read full overview

At Daydream Sunshine Initiative, the no-fee model is operational across the entire care menu: PrEP prescriptions, HIV medical treatment, hepatitis B and C treatment, TB treatment, vaccines, and testing are all staffed and dispensed without a cost tier attached to any of them.

Daydream Sunshine Initiative schedules interpretation services directly into clinical appointments, meaning counseling, medication adherence education, and treatment conversations are conducted with language support present in the room. Not patched in after the fact.

Many clinics offer an HIV test and little else beyond it: Daydream Sunshine Initiative, backed by Ryan White funding, carries patients from initial testing through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, all within the same practice.

Happy Family Care and Clinic

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 163 reviews

Happy Family Care and Clinic in Glenarden pairs STI testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, folding sexual health into a full family practice. Appointments are required; fees run on a sliding scale and Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are all accepted.

Read full overview

PrEP Prescriptions Managed Alongside Ongoing Monitoring

Daily oral PrEP, the antiretroviral regimen anchored by tenofovir, is prescribed and managed at Happy Family Care and Clinic, which means the HIV screening, kidney-function checks, and STI surveillance that the regimen requires happen at the same practice. PEP is also available for prevention. Continuity of that monitoring, not a one-time script, is what the service actually provides.

Substance-Use Treatment Isn't a Separate Referral Path

Clinics focused solely on sexual health typically have no mechanism for addressing the substance-use patterns that can intersect with STI risk, they document and move on. Happy Family Care and Clinic carries substance-abuse treatment as a named service, so both conditions can be addressed within the same care relationship rather than siloed across different providers.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV form the floor at most sexual-health clinics: herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C rarely make the standard menu. Happy Family Care and Clinic tests for all three, and because hepatitis B vaccine is offered on-site, a reactive hepatitis B result doesn't send patients elsewhere to start the immunization series.

Us Helping Us

No ratings yet

Us Helping Us in Landover tests for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, all at no fee, on a walk-in basis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale support built into every service the clinic provides.

Read full overview

Zero Fees Across the Full Visit

Every service at Us Helping Us carries no charge. That means testing, treatment, counseling, and ongoing HIV care all land at zero, so the scope of what you address in a single visit is never trimmed by cost.

Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care Through Treatment

Ryan White funding lets Us Helping Us carry a patient from a first HIV test through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence support, all in one place. For someone without a regular HIV provider or paying cash for antiretrovirals, that continuous care structure is the practical answer.

Prevention Prescriptions Issued On-Site

Plenty of testing-only sites leave PrEP and PEP to a separate prescriber, adding steps and time to prevention. Us Helping Us issues both, so the conversation about which option fits, and the prescription itself, happens in the same appointment as testing.

Heart to Hand

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 34 reviews

Heart to Hand in Largo tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes: all at no fee, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Appointments are required, bacterial infections treated same visit, and the full panel includes PrEP and ongoing HIV care.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price Tag

Sliding-scale fees still leave a balance for many people, and free testing that stops at the result still leaves treatment costs open. Heart to Hand charges nothing: not for the panel, not for treatment, not for PrEP or HIV care. Every service the clinic offers lands at no cost.

French and Spanish Spoken Throughout Your Care

When clinical Spanish or French isn't available at a clinic, a patient often leaves with instructions they can't fully act on, and Heart to Hand in Largo removes that specific gap. Staff deliver care directly in both languages, so nothing from the test result to the treatment plan gets lost in the middle.

Heart to Hand holds Ryan White funding, which means HIV care, from the initial rapid test through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, runs through a single, unbroken program. That continuity keeps patients in care rather than navigating separate providers for each stage.

STDs & HIV in Prince George's County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Prince George's County, the county that includes Fairwood, compare with Maryland and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

Prince George's County recorded 24.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 13.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Prince George's County residents living with HIV, 88.4% know their status · 73.4% are in care · 66.5% 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.

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 Prince George's County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Fairwood, MD

Fairwood's households skew decisively toward married couples raising children together, the kind of setup where health decisions often happen as a pair, quietly deferred until someone puts them on the shared calendar. With most adults here in committed partnerships and household sizes running larger than the regional norm, an STI conversation can feel like it carries more weight than a solo appointment ever would. That social reality doesn't make testing less important; it makes the low-key, practical option more valuable.

The community's high homeownership rate and strong income profile can create a subtle illusion of insulation from health risks that apply across income lines, and the younger adults here in Collington or over near High Bridge Estates, people still in the relationship-forming years most associated with new STI exposure, aren't exempt from Prince George's County's elevated transmission picture. The economic stability that defines Fairwood doesn't track with STI risk the way many assume. With three-quarters of adults in the workforce and very low unemployment, appointment-based care still competes with full schedules; an evening or weekend slot along Annapolis Road is often the option that actually gets used.

Confidentiality & consent in Maryland Minor 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.
