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

Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

When cost becomes the reason someone skips a follow-up dose or delays a second appointment, an untreated infection continues. At Central Virginia Health Services, every service (testing, treatment, counseling, vaccines) is provided at no fee, so that gap never opens.

Spanish Care Without a Separate Appointment

When language requires a workaround (a callback, a rescheduled visit, a family member pressed into translating) the clinical conversation shrinks and detail gets lost. Central Virginia Health Services delivers care directly in Spanish and through interpretation services, keeping the full conversation intact at the first appointment.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site in Farmville

Central Virginia Health Services prescribes and manages PrEP (including the required HIV, kidney function, and STI monitoring) and also provides PEP when indicated, all within the same practice. Ongoing prevention doesn't require a separate prescriber or a specialist referral.

Virginia Department of Health in Farmville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, treating confirmed bacterial infections the same visit: all on a sliding-scale fee, with appointments required, and every service provided at no charge.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost

The sliding scale at Virginia Department of Health Farmville bottoms out at zero: not just for HIV testing, but across the full range of STI care, TB services, and prevention. That applies to PrEP prescriptions, DoxyPEP, vaccines, and partner notification equally, with no service category carved out.

DoxyPEP Sits Alongside PrEP and PEP

Plenty of clinics prescribe PrEP; far fewer have integrated DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline protocol for bacterial STI prevention, into their standing formulary. Virginia Department of Health Farmville carries all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP, and DoxyPEP, making it one of the few public health sites where all three prevention tracks are available at the same address.

Herpes Testing Expands the Standard Panel

The testing panel at Virginia Department of Health Farmville extends to herpes: a diagnosis requiring its own laboratory detection method, distinct from the blood draws and swabs used for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Adding herpes serology means a single visit can return a more complete picture of STI exposure without sending patients elsewhere for that one test.

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.

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 Edward County tests for syphilis.

About Hampden-Sydney, VA

Blake Village sits at the center of a community where nearly two-thirds of residents own their homes yet fewer than one in ten adults are married: a profile shaped almost entirely by Hampden-Sydney College's student body, where most people are young adults still forming relationships and partnerships. That demographic reality makes routine STI screening genuinely important here, yet the town's character works against easy access: with only a fraction of residents counted as active in the workforce, the rhythms of academic life don't map neatly onto clinic hours built for nine-to-five schedules. US 15, Farmville Road, is essentially the artery out of town, and whether someone is heading north from The Birthplace neighborhood or leaving the Hampden Sydney College Historic District, reaching a testing site requires planning a trip, not just stopping in.

For people in their late teens and twenties, who represent the overwhelming majority of residents, that kind of logistical lift can quietly stretch the gap between "I should do this" and actually doing it. That's precisely why the range of options listed on this page matters: varying by cost, appointment type, and distance along the Farmville Road corridor, they give residents real choices rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it answer from Blake Village's doorstep.

Confidentiality & consent in Virginia

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

Two things that actually depend on 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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Virginia, 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)

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.
