Virginia Department of Health in Floyd operates within the public health infrastructure, meaning STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis B and C) runs alongside TB screening and family planning, all on a sliding scale, with bacterial infections treated same visit, by appointment.
Free STI, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing isn't a limited program or a grant-cycle offer. It's the standing operating model. Sliding-scale fees cover the rest of the service menu, so cost never determines what care is provided or completed.
Interpretation services are available across the full scope of care at Virginia Department of Health in Floyd, not siloed to intake or limited to written materials. That coverage extends to medication adherence counseling and partner notification, where precision in language directly affects treatment outcomes.
PrEP is standard at many health departments; DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after potential bacterial STI exposure to reduce infection risk, is far less commonly prescribed in public health settings. Virginia Department of Health in Floyd carries all three: PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, giving the full current prevention toolkit from a single provider.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Floyd County, the county that includes Floyd, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#130 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 2% of the state
| Infection | Floyd County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 108.4 17 cases ▼ 77% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 19.1 3 cases ▼ 88% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 6.4 1 cases ▼ 59% | 15.8 | 29.5 |

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 Floyd County, chlamydia has fallen from 252 to 108.4 per 100,000 (57%), gonorrhea has fallen from 58.2 to 19.1 per 100,000 (67%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 12.8 to 12.8 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Floyd County.
Local HIV snapshot
Floyd County HIV care continuum (2023)
Floyd County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Floyd County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 70% 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 Floyd County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Stockers Knob rises quietly above town, and most people who live in its shadow own the land under their feet. A stability that runs deep in Floyd's character. With a labor-force participation rate just above half, many residents are either self-employed, retired, or working arrangements that don't come with paid leave or employer insurance. Making the cost and scheduling of routine screening genuinely consequential, not abstract.
Those realities press hardest on younger adults still building relationships and routines, the population with the steepest rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia nationally, especially when the options listed on this page involve a real drive rather than a walk across town. Average household size here runs notably large, suggesting households where people's schedules interlock and a mid-week appointment affects more than one person's day. For the roughly one in three Floyd residents who rent, with typical monthly costs already tight against other rural expenses, the sliding-scale or free-testing options among the clinics listed here aren't a convenience; for someone without employer coverage, they're often the deciding factor in whether screening happens at all.
Getting there
At 6.4/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Floyd 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 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 Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
