Eight Languages Spoken Directly by Staff
Family First Health carries direct clinical capacity in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole: meaning the person explaining your results, your medication, and your prevention options is speaking your language, not relaying through a service. For anyone whose primary language sits outside English, that directness changes how much of a visit actually lands.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
Family First Health prescribes and manages all three prevention medications: daily oral PrEP (with the regular HIV and kidney monitoring the regimen requires), PEP for post-exposure situations, and DoxyPEP. The doxycycline protocol taken after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STI risk. Each requires its own follow-up cadence, and the clinic handles that ongoing oversight directly.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing for Anyone Without a Regular Provider
Without a primary care physician ordering labs, getting tested for herpes or hepatitis often means piecing together separate appointments elsewhere. Family First Health's panel covers herpes alongside hepatitis A, B, and C, on the same sliding-scale fee structure, making it a practical single stop for anyone managing their own sexual health without a standing provider relationship.

Substance-Use Treatment Stays in the Same Building
When substance-use issues go unaddressed after an STI diagnosis, the cycle tends to continue. A second appointment at a separate facility that often never gets made. Sadler Health Center holds both programs internally, so the treatment conversation happens at the same visit, with the same care team, closing that gap before it opens.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Built Into the Panel
Sadler Health Center's standing panel includes hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. A meaningful capability for anyone without a regular primary-care provider who needs a single appointment to cover the full picture. Both hepatitis tests are on-site, not sourced elsewhere.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 10 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Franklintown, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among York County residents living with HIV, 76.9% are in care · 71.4% are virally suppressed.

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 York County tests for syphilis.

Franklintown's rhythm follows the trades and the seasons: construction crews, farm work, shifts that start early and demand focus. When health matters arise, they compete with the pace of real life, and STI screening often slips down the list until something shifts: a new relationship, a routine physical, a moment of clarity about what matters. Testing services available in and around Franklintown are listed on this page, accessible without the friction of distance or delay. Young adults in Franklintown (those in their late teens through thirties building trades, starting families, or moving between jobs) face particular weight in screening decisions. Confidentiality isn't guaranteed everywhere; a clinic where results stay confidential, where no one from town happens to work the front desk, becomes part of the calculation.
That choice matters here. The clinics and providers serving Franklintown understand the terrain: they know that getting tested means taking time away from work, that privacy concerns are real, and that showing up is the hardest step. Screening is straightforward, results come back quickly, and treatment, when needed, moves forward without ceremony. What happens in the clinic stays there.

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