A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Gilmer County Health Department in Glenville requires an appointment and uses that structure to deliver testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: alongside same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, vaccines, and sliding-scale fees, with services available in Spanish.
Care at Gilmer County Health Department is available in Spanish, which means clinical details (symptoms, treatment instructions, follow-up guidance) are communicated directly rather than filtered, and documented accurately from the start.
As a Title X clinic, Gilmer County Health Department provides family planning services to minors with legal confidentiality: federal Title X statute, not clinic policy, is what shields those records from disclosure to parents or guardians.
Gilmer County Health Department tests for hepatitis A, B, and C in addition to the standard bacterial and HIV panel: a combination that matters because hepatitis B and C share transmission routes with other STIs, and catching them here means treatment coordination stays in the same building.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Gilmer County, the county that includes Glenville, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~39% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#34 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 38% of the state
| Infection | Gilmer County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 165.4 12 cases ▼ 34% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 82.7 6 cases ▲ 51% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 13.8 1 cases ▲ 27% | 10.9 | 15.8 |

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 Gilmer County, chlamydia has fallen from 216 to 165.4 per 100,000 (23%), gonorrhea has risen from 81 to 82.7 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 13.7 to 13.8 per 100,000 (1%).

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 Gilmer County.
Local HIV snapshot
Gilmer County HIV care continuum (2023)
Gilmer County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Gilmer County residents living with HIV, 47.1% are in care · 41.2% 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 Gilmer County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Ruddell General Store still anchors the old commercial stretch the way it always has, but the everyday logistics of living in Glenville run harder than the town's quiet appearance suggests. With seven in ten households renting at rents that stay low by almost any measure, and fewer than one in twenty bringing in six figures, disposable income is genuinely tight. Meaning a testing visit that requires burning half a tank on WV 5 toward Spencer or Weston arrives with a real dollar cost attached, not just an inconvenience. That pressure matters most for the large share of residents in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates run highest and when people are least likely to have an established care relationship to lean on.
Glenville's workforce participation is well below the national norm, and unemployment runs high, so flexible clinic hours (evenings, walk-ins, sliding-scale fees) aren't a convenience preference; they're what determines whether someone actually goes. The options listed on this page span varying fee structures, and several serve patients regardless of insurance status, which counts for a lot in a county where stable employer coverage is far from universal. For a renter in Pine Manor or Camden Flats without a car, the nearest listed site likely means arranging a ride down North Lewis Street and out onto the Little Kanawha Parkway. A trip where fee transparency and low out-of-pocket cost can be the deciding factor.
Getting there
At 6.76/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Glenville 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 West 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 West Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
West 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.
