Main Line Health in Bryn Mawr requires an appointment, and that single scheduled visit covers testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB: with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines on-site.
Prevention prescribing gets dropped from many STI clinic rosters: the testing happens, but PrEP and PEP require a separate provider visit somewhere else. Main Line Health writes both, keeping HIV prevention fully in-house alongside the testing and treatment that surrounds it.
Hepatitis C treatment is delivered on-site at Main Line Health, which means a reactive antibody result doesn't stall out at the diagnostic stage. The clinical relationship that confirmed the infection is the same one that manages the cure.
The testing menu at Main Line Health runs to nine pathogens (HIV by rapid and conventional method, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB) which means a single appointment can surface infections that a four-pathogen panel would leave undetected.

Bryn Mawr Medical Specialist Associates tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB on a fee-based, insurance- and Medicare-accepted model; appointments are required, and bacterial STIs can be treated the same visit.
Bryn Mawr Medical Specialist Associates prescribes PrEP, including tenofovir-based regimens, and manages PEP entirely within the practice. Ongoing PrEP monitoring, including the required HIV and kidney-function labs, happens at the same site as the prescription, keeping the clinical relationship intact rather than split across providers.
For anyone without a specialist on file, whether paying out of pocket or working through insurance, the practice's standing capacity to treat hepatitis C on-site is the practical difference between a diagnosis that moves forward and one that stalls. Bryn Mawr Medical Specialist Associates carries care from the hepatitis C test through active treatment without transferring patients to another provider.
Gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV cover the core, but hepatitis B and C frequently go untested at clinics that stop there. Bryn Mawr Medical Specialist Associates runs both hepatitis tests alongside the standard panel, so a single visit surfaces infections that a narrower screen would miss entirely.

Delaware Valley ID Associates in Wynnewood runs by appointment and brings infectious disease specialization to bear on every visit: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with bacterial infections treated same-visit and fees billed to insurance or set on a sliding scale.
Clinics built around the core four (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV) leave herpes and hepatitis C invisible until symptoms force the question. Delaware Valley ID Associates tests for both, alongside hepatitis B and TB, so infections that typically wait for a specialist referral get caught in the same appointment.
A positive hepatitis C result that sends you to a separate gastroenterologist or liver specialist means weeks of scheduling, repeated intake, and a treatment clock that keeps running. At Delaware Valley ID Associates, the prescribing, monitoring, and antiviral management happen within the same infectious disease practice that ran the initial test.
Both PrEP and PEP are prescribed and followed by infectious disease physicians at Delaware Valley ID Associates, the same specialists who manage HIV treatment, meaning the dosing schedule, required HIV and kidney-function labs, and any follow-up adjustments are handled within a single clinical relationship rather than split across providers.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Delaware County, the county that includes Haverford College, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~88% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#4 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 94% of the state
| Infection | Delaware County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 556.4 3,209 cases ▲ 32% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 188 1,084 cases ▲ 30% | 144.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 10.9 63 cases ▲ 20% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16 92 cases ▲ 55% | 10.3 | 16 |

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 Delaware County, chlamydia has risen from 481.6 to 556.4 per 100,000 (16%), gonorrhea has fallen from 214.4 to 188 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.4 to 10.9 per 100,000 (102%).

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 Delaware County.
Local HIV snapshot
Delaware County HIV care continuum (2023)
Delaware County recorded 9.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Delaware County residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 64.9% 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 Delaware County tests for syphilis.

Two things that actually depend on Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Pennsylvania 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.
