Us Helping Us

Us Helping Us in Landover tests for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, all at no fee, on a walk-in basis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and sliding-scale support built into every service the clinic provides.

Zero Fees Across the Full Visit
Every service at Us Helping Us carries no charge. That means testing, treatment, counseling, and ongoing HIV care all land at zero, so the scope of what you address in a single visit is never trimmed by cost.
Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care Through Treatment
Ryan White funding lets Us Helping Us carry a patient from a first HIV test through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence support, all in one place. For someone without a regular HIV provider or paying cash for antiretrovirals, that continuous care structure is the practical answer.
Prevention Prescriptions Issued On-Site
Plenty of testing-only sites leave PrEP and PEP to a separate prescriber, adding steps and time to prevention. Us Helping Us issues both, so the conversation about which option fits, and the prescription itself, happens in the same appointment as testing.

Heart to Hand in Largo tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes: all at no fee, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Appointments are required, bacterial infections treated same visit, and the full panel includes PrEP and ongoing HIV care.

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price Tag
Sliding-scale fees still leave a balance for many people, and free testing that stops at the result still leaves treatment costs open. Heart to Hand charges nothing: not for the panel, not for treatment, not for PrEP or HIV care. Every service the clinic offers lands at no cost.
French and Spanish Spoken Throughout Your Care
When clinical Spanish or French isn't available at a clinic, a patient often leaves with instructions they can't fully act on, and Heart to Hand in Largo removes that specific gap. Staff deliver care directly in both languages, so nothing from the test result to the treatment plan gets lost in the middle.
Heart to Hand holds Ryan White funding, which means HIV care, from the initial rapid test through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, runs through a single, unbroken program. That continuity keeps patients in care rather than navigating separate providers for each stage.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 163 reviews
Happy Family Care and Clinic in Glenarden pairs STI testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, folding sexual health into a full family practice. Appointments are required; fees run on a sliding scale and Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are all accepted.
Daily oral PrEP, the antiretroviral regimen anchored by tenofovir, is prescribed and managed at Happy Family Care and Clinic, which means the HIV screening, kidney-function checks, and STI surveillance that the regimen requires happen at the same practice. PEP is also available for prevention. Continuity of that monitoring, not a one-time script, is what the service actually provides.
Substance-Use Treatment Isn't a Separate Referral Path
Clinics focused solely on sexual health typically have no mechanism for addressing the substance-use patterns that can intersect with STI risk, they document and move on. Happy Family Care and Clinic carries substance-abuse treatment as a named service, so both conditions can be addressed within the same care relationship rather than siloed across different providers.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV form the floor at most sexual-health clinics: herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C rarely make the standard menu. Happy Family Care and Clinic tests for all three, and because hepatitis B vaccine is offered on-site, a reactive hepatitis B result doesn't send patients elsewhere to start the immunization series.

Prince Georges County Health Department in Cheverly runs STI care through the infrastructure of a public health department: meaning the full panel of HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis tests, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines, all at no fee.

Every Service Here Carries No Balance
When cost becomes the reason someone delays care, an untreated bacterial infection becomes a longer-term problem. Prince Georges County Health Department charges nothing (no fee at checkout, no sliding-scale floor) for testing, treatment, and vaccines, removing the financial stop that turns a single visit into months of postponement.
Spanish Care That Goes Beyond the Test
Spanish-speaking patients frequently leave clinics having received results but not the counseling or follow-up that should accompany them, because staff capable of that conversation simply aren't there. At Prince Georges County Health Department, Spanish is a working clinical language across HIV counseling, treatment navigation, and prevention education.
Ryan White Funds Continuous HIV Medical Care Here
Ryan White funding at Prince Georges County Health Department underwrites an unbroken arc from a rapid or conventional HIV test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment: prescriptions managed, adherence counseled, and care sustained without the patient needing to source a separate provider to continue what the test started.
Family and Medical Counseling Service, a community counseling and medical practice in Seat Pleasant, pairs STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and rapid or conventional HIV) with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointments conducted in Spanish.

Spanish Is a Full Clinical Language Here
Spanish is a full service language at Family and Medical Counseling Service, not a supplemental accommodation, meaning history-taking, STI counseling, treatment decisions, and follow-up are all conducted directly in Spanish by the care team, without mediation.
Hepatitis C Treatment Stays in This Building
Family and Medical Counseling Service treats hepatitis C on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed treatment plan within the same practice. The clinical relationship that caught the infection is the one that resolves it.
Substance-Use Treatment Is Part of the Clinical Picture
Substance-use treatment is available alongside STI care at Family and Medical Counseling Service, which means conditions that frequently intersect can be addressed by the same practice rather than handed off, keeping the care plan coherent across both.

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.

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 Prince George's County tests for syphilis.

Along Martin Luther King Jr. Highway, where Glenarden's modest commercial strip gives way to neighborhoods where most households own their homes, the renters who do put down $1,316 a month are carrying one of the heavier cost loads relative to income, and for younger adults still building financial footing, a clinic visit can feel like one more line item to weigh. That calculation is worth naming, because people in their late teens and twenties are exactly the group where untreated infections tend to cluster and where the gap between knowing you should get tested and actually going is widest.
Glenarden's larger household sizes tell a quiet story too: multi-person homes in neighborhoods like Royale Gardens and Glenarden Woods mean schedules are rarely your own. With nearly seven in ten residents in the labor force and unemployment running higher than regional norms, finding a weekday window for a clinic appointment, especially one that requires driving out to MD 704 or hooking onto US 50, competes with real obligations. What that means practically: knowing which nearby clinic matches your hours and accepts your coverage (or offers sliding-scale fees) before you need to go removes the friction of a last-minute search on a busy Tuesday near Barlowe Road Park.

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