Empower Medical in Stratham charges a fee for services and accepts standard insurance for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C testing. Appointments required. Bacterial infections are treated same visit, and prevention prescriptions including PrEP and DoxyPEP are available on-site.
PrEP requires regular HIV and kidney-function labs, refills tied to those results, and a prescriber who tracks adherence over time. Empower Medical handles that monitoring directly, and extends the same prescribing relationship to PEP and DoxyPEP, so all three prevention regimens live in one chart, managed by one clinical team.
The default STI panel at most clinics stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Herpes and hepatitis require a separate order that often doesn't get placed. Empower Medical runs herpes serology and hepatitis A, B, and C testing as part of its standard panel, closing that gap without requiring a second appointment elsewhere.

Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Exeter runs on scheduled appointments and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing: with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees accepted by everyone, and interpretation services available.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Exeter provides interpretation services for non-English languages, which means someone navigating sexual health decisions without strong English (no regular provider, paying out of pocket, weighing PrEP) gets the same depth of conversation and clinical detail as any other patient, not a stripped-down version of it.
Many clinics offering STI testing stop at the test itself and leave younger patients to sort out family planning on their own. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Exeter operates under Title X, which legally guarantees confidential family planning services for minors, including counseling and contraception, without parental disclosure.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Exeter prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, so someone who decides to start ongoing HIV prevention leaves with a prescription rather than waiting on a separate provider to get involved.

Joan G Lovering Health Center in Greenland runs on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts Medicaid and private insurance, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and both rapid and conventional HIV testing; bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and appointments are required.
For anyone without a regular prescriber, or paying cash and weighing every step, Joan G Lovering Health Center holds PrEP and PEP on-site, meaning the medication and the clinical relationship managing it live in the same appointment. No separate infectious-disease referral required to start or continue either.
The panel at Joan G Lovering Health Center covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes alongside both rapid and conventional HIV testing. Six distinct tests rather than four. Adding herpes to the panel changes what a single appointment can actually rule out or confirm.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Rockingham County, the county that includes Hampton, compare with New Hampshire and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 10 New Hampshire counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 50% of the state
| Infection | Rockingham County | New Hampshire | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 154 494 cases ▼ 22% | 196.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 31.8 102 cases ▼ 24% | 41.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.4 14 cases ▲ 13% | 3.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 0.6 2 cases ▼ 68% | 1.9 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 3.4 11 cases ▼ 15% | 4 | 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 Rockingham County, chlamydia has fallen from 171.2 to 154 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has risen from 26.7 to 31.8 per 100,000 (19%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.2 to 4.4 per 100,000 (38%).

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 Rockingham County.
Local HIV snapshot
Rockingham County HIV care continuum (2023)
Rockingham County recorded 2.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 2.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Rockingham County residents living with HIV, 81.2% are in care · 74.6% 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 Rockingham County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Hampton Beach draws a sharper contrast than most coastal towns manage: year-round residents in Glen Hill quietly outnumber the seasonal crowd, and the community they've built together is predominantly owner-occupied, married, and working. A profile that doesn't always translate into prioritizing a routine health appointment. That stability matters here because it can create blind spots. When most households are coupled, mortgage-anchored, and drawing solid incomes, with over four in ten earning above six figures, sexual health screening can feel like someone else's concern.
It isn't, and it's especially worth noting for younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who account for a disproportionate share of STI diagnoses countywide. Rockingham County's rates are real, and this age group moves through Hampton's seasonal economy, along US 1 and out to North Hampton Beach, in ways that don't always map to a single clinic or a fixed schedule. The options listed on this page vary by hours, fees, and distance, which means the one that works for a Hampton household depends heavily on which stretch of Lafayette Road or I-95 already fits someone's commute.
Getting there
At 6.95/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Hampton generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on New Hampshire 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 Hampshire, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
New Hampshire 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.
