Leaving hepatitis off a testing visit means a separate appointment somewhere else, a gap where an active infection goes unmanaged and costs compound. CAMcare tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV panel, and administers hepatitis A and B vaccines, so nothing about your liver health gets deferred.
When a language gap forces a second visit, or a misunderstood treatment plan goes unfollowed, the clinical outcome suffers before anyone notices. CAMcare delivers care in Spanish directly, which means the conversation about symptoms, results, and next steps happens in full, at the same appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Camden County, the county that includes Gloucester City, compare with New Jersey and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#3 of 21 New Jersey counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Camden County | New Jersey | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 631.6 3,330 cases ▲ 64% | 384.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 228.2 1,203 cases ▲ 109% | 109.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 11.2 59 cases ▲ 38% | 8.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 12.7 67 cases ▲ 22% | 10.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 27.5 145 cases ▲ 72% | 16 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Camden County, chlamydia has risen from 627 to 631.6 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 251.6 to 228.2 per 100,000 (9%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 20.1 to 11.2 per 100,000 (44%).

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 Camden County.
Local HIV snapshot
Camden County HIV care continuum (2023)
Camden County recorded 17.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Camden County residents living with HIV, 74% are in care · 67.7% 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 Camden County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
CR 551, South Broadway, is the spine most Gloucester City residents travel when they need to reach services outside town limits, and a clinic visit typically means driving that corridor or picking up I-76 to reach the options listed on this page. For a city where two-thirds of households own their homes at values well below the regional norm, the financial calculus around healthcare tends to be careful: monthly budgets are stretched across mortgages on modest properties, and the roughly one-in-three households that rent are managing costs that, while not extreme, still compete with every other fixed expense.
That everyday cost pressure matters most for the younger adults living here, the people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically in their highest-risk years for STIs and who are also the least likely to have a standing relationship with a primary-care doctor. Gloucester City's households skew toward family formations, with more than four in ten adults married and an average household running close to three and a half people, meaning a positive test that goes undetected rarely stays a private concern for long.
With unemployment running at a meaningful level, a chunk of the labor force is between jobs and potentially between insurance arrangements, which makes the fee structures listed on the clinic cards here worth a close look before you drive out on Broadway.
Getting there
Gloucester City scores 12.39/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Two things that actually depend on New Jersey 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 New Jersey, a minor can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment at any age, and to HIV testing at age 13 or older; a provider may notify a parent, and must do so where sexual assault is involved.
New Jersey 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.
