Every Test and Treatment Carries No Charge

All services at Moore County Health Department are provided at no fee: meaning treatment for a bacterial STI, a hepatitis vaccine, or a follow-up visit don't generate a bill regardless of insurance status or income.

Spanish-Language Care Available Directly

Spanish is a working language of care here, so clinical conversations (risk history, treatment instructions, follow-up plans) happen directly between patient and provider without a mediated step in between.

Herpes Testing Included Alongside the Core Four

Moore County Health Department tests for herpes in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. A five-infection panel that gives clinicians a fuller picture when bacterial results alone wouldn't explain a patient's presentation.

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.

About Foxfire, NC

Foxfire took its name from the bioluminescent fungus that once glowed in the forests of Moore County, a natural phenomenon that drew settlers seeking something rare and worth protecting. That same impulse toward careful stewardship shapes how health care works here today. STD testing in and around Foxfire reflects a community where people tend to stay, build lives, and value privacy as much as they value the land itself. Testing sites listed on this page offer the confidentiality that matters when you're establishing patterns of sexual health in a place where you plan to remain. The town's mix of established families and younger adults, many in their twenties and thirties, means that routine screening happens quietly and without fanfare.

Whether you're newly partnered, between relationships, or simply maintaining regular health habits, the clinics serving Foxfire treat testing as straightforward medical care, not an occasion for judgment or gossip. Access to testing doesn't require explaining yourself to anyone you know. Results belong to you alone, and the process moves efficiently from appointment to follow-up, with providers who understand that confidentiality isn't a courtesy. It's the foundation of care that people will actually seek.

Confidentiality & consent in North Carolina

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In North Carolina, 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)

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.
