Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 241 reviews

Fish River Rural Health in Madawaska covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV testing, treating bacterial infections the same day on a sliding-scale fee that adjusts to income: appointments are required, and interpretation services extend the same visit to non-English speakers.

Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested Here

Fish River Rural Health tests for hepatitis A, B, and C, including a rapid hepatitis C option, alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel. That breadth means a single appointment can surface liver-affecting infections that a narrower screen would leave undetected.

Interpretation Services Woven Into Every Appointment

Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at Fish River Rural Health, so the clinical conversation (symptoms, results, next steps) carries full meaning regardless of the language spoken. That access keeps nothing lost between provider and patient when it counts.

Maine Family Planning

No ratings yet

Maine Family Planning in Fort Kent runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and rapid HIV testing, treating bacterial infections the same visit on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone. With PrEP available for those without insurance coverage.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Outside Referral

Leaving Fort Kent with a referral slip for PrEP or PEP means days of delay, a second intake, and another out-of-pocket cost. Gaps where prevention lapses. Maine Family Planning carries both medications directly, and covers PrEP costs for uninsured patients, so the prescription and the plan start at the same appointment.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Maine Family Planning tests for herpes simplex and both hepatitis B and hepatitis C, with a rapid hepatitis C option, in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. Hepatitis C caught on a rapid test gets a result before you leave, moving toward treatment rather than waiting on a lab 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.

Confidentiality & consent in Maine

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

Two things that actually depend on Maine 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 Maine, 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)

Maine 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.
