SCH Behavioral Health in Charles Town carries federal community health center certification, which means its STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) is priced on a sliding scale tied to each patient's income, making testing financially within reach across a broad range of household budgets.
Jefferson County Health Department in Kearneysville tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit: all on a sliding-scale fee structure, with an appointment required, and every test and service provided at no cost.

Every Test and Treatment Runs at Zero Cost
Jefferson County Health Department charges nothing for any service it provides, and that zero-dollar baseline means a hepatitis C diagnosis, a TB result, or a same-visit gonorrhea treatment never stalls behind a billing conversation. Care moves forward because cost never enters the equation.
Title X Covers Minors With Full Legal Confidentiality
As a Title X-funded site, Jefferson County Health Department is legally required to keep family planning services (contraception, STI testing, counseling) confidential for minors, entirely separate from any parental insurance or billing record. That protection is a federal statutory requirement, not a policy the department can waive.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Under One Roof
Leaving Kearneysville with only a referral for PrEP or DoxyPEP means another appointment, another wait, and, for the uninsured, another cost barrier before a prescription exists. Jefferson County Health Department prescribes all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP when it's needed, and DoxyPEP to reduce bacterial STI risk, each managed here rather than handed off.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?
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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

US 340, the William L. Wilson Freeway cutting through the river gap: is the road most residents take to reach any clinic listed on this page, and that drive shapes how screening fits into the week. Harpers Ferry is overwhelmingly a homeowning community, with the vast majority of households rooted in places like Blue Ridge Acres and Keyes Ferry Acres rather than cycling through rentals, which means the person putting off a test isn't typically stretched by steep rent. It's more often a scheduling problem than a cost one.
With labor-force participation below what you'd see in a more employment-dense area and unemployment notably elevated, weekday clinic hours don't automatically conflict with a nine-to-five the way they might elsewhere. The younger adults here (people in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates run highest) represent a smaller slice of the population than in most towns, but that doesn't reduce individual risk; it just means there are fewer peers visibly normalizing routine screening. Around three in five adults here are married, and household sizes run larger than the national average. Couples and families make testing decisions together, and a straightforward, low-hassle appointment on US 340 is one both partners can realistically keep.

Confidentiality & consent in West Virginia
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In West 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)
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.
