Grafton-Taylor County Health Department in Grafton requires an appointment, so visits are scheduled rather than drop-in, but a single visit covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, on a sliding scale, with all services available at no fee.
Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are all accepted, and a sliding scale governs what uninsured patients owe. Calibrated to income rather than set at a flat rate. That structure extends across the full menu: testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling all resolve at zero cost for those who qualify.
As a Title X-funded clinic, Grafton-Taylor County Health Department is legally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors. Meaning those records carry federal confidentiality protections, not just a policy preference. That designation also governs the sliding-scale structure that extends to reproductive health care across every age group.
Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C tests are run on-site and are available at no cost: not ordered as add-ons but integrated into the testing menu alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. A hepatitis B vaccination series is also stocked and administered here, closing the loop between detection and prevention at the same appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Taylor County, the county that includes Flemington, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~14% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#47 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 15% of the state
| Infection | Taylor County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 115.9 19 cases ▼ 53% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 18.3 3 cases ▼ 67% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 6.1 1 cases ▼ 44% | 10.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.1 1 cases ≈ the state average | 6.1 | 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 Taylor County, chlamydia has fallen from 281.4 to 115.9 per 100,000 (59%), gonorrhea has fallen from 71.8 to 18.3 per 100,000 (75%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6 to 6.1 per 100,000 (2%).

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 Taylor County.
Local HIV snapshot
Taylor County HIV care continuum (2020)
Taylor County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Taylor County residents living with HIV, 100% are in care · 92.3% 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 Taylor County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pewee Knob rises quietly above a borough where most households have deep roots: the homeownership rate here is among the highest you'd find anywhere, and the average household runs to more than three people under one roof. That settled character is real, but it sits alongside a labor picture where a meaningful share of working-age adults are outside the workforce entirely, and those who do work are often juggling schedules that leave little room for daytime appointments. Getting tested in and around Flemington means driving, there is no sidewalk route, no bus stop, no option that doesn't require keys in hand. For the younger adults here, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically in the years when STIs circulate most readily, that distance is the actual obstacle.
An appointment has to compete with a shift, a borrowed car, and roads that wind past Copeland Knob before you reach anything clinical. The options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost clinics worth looking at closely for Flemington residents. With typical rents well under six hundred dollars and home values modest even by rural West Virginia standards, out-of-pocket testing fees can feel outsized against a household budget, and the listings here flag which sites accept Medicaid or charge on income, a distinction that matters when nearly one in five households clears six figures and the rest decidedly do not.
Getting there
At 4.72/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Flemington generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on West Virginia 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 West Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
West Virginia 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.
