Maine Family Planning in Lewiston tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone, with appointments required; bacterial infections are treated the same visit, and PrEP and PEP are available on-site.
Tracking down PrEP or PEP through a separate provider means scheduling delays, duplicated intake, and gaps where coverage lapses. Maine Family Planning holds both prescriptions in-house, so the path from a testing visit to an active prevention regimen doesn't leave the building or the care relationship.
Maine Family Planning runs herpes testing and both conventional and rapid hepatitis C tests alongside the core bacterial and viral panel: the rapid hep C result is read on-site during the same appointment, while hepatitis B serology and herpes antibody testing use the same blood draw, no second visit required.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Androscoggin County, the county that includes Greene, compare with Maine and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 16 Maine counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Androscoggin County | Maine | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 356.9 406 cases ▲ 64% | 217.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 100.2 114 cases ▲ 126% | 44.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.9 9 cases ▲ 49% | 5.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.8 2 cases ▼ 14% | 2.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.3 6 cases ▲ 18% | 4.5 | 29.5 |

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 Androscoggin County, chlamydia has risen from 352.7 to 356.9 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has risen from 82.8 to 100.2 per 100,000 (21%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.6 to 7.9 per 100,000 (119%).

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 Androscoggin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Androscoggin County HIV care continuum (2021)
Androscoggin County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 2.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Androscoggin County residents living with HIV, 78.2% are in care · 73.3% 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 Androscoggin County tests for syphilis.

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).
In Maine, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
