Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in Roanoke tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B, and herpes, treating bacterial infections the same visit; sliding-scale fees apply to everyone, Medicaid and insurance accepted, and no appointment is needed. Spanish and interpretation services are on hand.
When navigating symptoms, timing, or a treatment plan, precision in language is clinical, not incidental. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in Roanoke carries Spanish-speaking staff capacity and interpretation services so that someone who reasons and worries in a language other than English gets the same specificity of care (exposure history, medication instructions, follow-up) that anyone else does.
Plenty of sexual health providers require parental involvement or redirect younger patients elsewhere. As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in Roanoke is legally required to offer confidential family planning services to minors: meaning testing, contraception, and STI treatment without a guardian in the loop.
PrEP requires baseline HIV and kidney-function testing, an initial prescription, and regular follow-up labs. All of which Planned Parenthood South Atlantic in Roanoke handles directly. PEP is similarly initiated and managed in-clinic, so both medications stay tied to a provider who tracks the labs and adjusts care rather than handing the prescription off without a monitoring plan.

Virginia Department of Health in Roanoke tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, TB, and HIV, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit. Sliding-scale fees apply, and appointments are required. Every service is provided at no charge.
Sliding-scale STI clinics still send some patients home with a bill. At Virginia Department of Health in Roanoke, the fee schedule bottoms out at zero for everyone: testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, and counseling included. Nothing here generates a balance.
Many clinics document language needs and move on, leaving patients to navigate clinical detail through gaps. Virginia Department of Health in Roanoke arranges interpretation services for non-English languages directly within the appointment, so clinical conversations happen fully, not around the edges.
Virginia Department of Health in Roanoke prescribes and monitors all three biomedical prevention tools: PrEP (daily oral medication that blocks HIV acquisition), PEP (the post-exposure course), and DoxyPEP (doxycycline taken after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STI risk). Medication adherence counseling is built into ongoing care.

Monroe Health Center in New Castle covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, TB, and HIV, treating bacterial infections the same visit and billing on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. An appointment is required.
Monroe Health Center tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: meaning liver-affecting infections are identified at the same visit, so follow-up care and vaccination decisions can start without a separate appointment elsewhere.
Spanish is a complete clinical language at Monroe Health Center, not a supplemental accommodation, so counseling, exposure history, and treatment decisions are conducted directly in Spanish, without a layered communication step between clinician and patient.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Roanoke County, the county that includes Hollins, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#76 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 43% of the state
| Infection | Roanoke County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 279.3 271 cases ▼ 41% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 62.9 61 cases ▼ 60% | 158.3 | 179.5 |

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Roanoke County, chlamydia has fallen from 338.4 to 279.3 per 100,000 (17%), gonorrhea has fallen from 107.3 to 62.9 per 100,000 (41%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 5.2 to 5.2 per 100,000.

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 Roanoke County.
Local HIV snapshot
Roanoke County HIV care continuum (2020)
Roanoke County recorded 6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Roanoke County residents living with HIV, 88.7% are in care · 77.4% 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 Roanoke County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Sunnybrook and the streets feeding off Williamson Road Northeast are home to a mix of young adults sharing rentals, recently paired couples, and longer-term residents who bought modest homes when prices still favored first-time buyers. For people in their late teens and twenties navigating new relationships, new jobs, or new living situations, routine STI screening is one of those practical tasks that feels easy to defer when a month's rent already claims a significant slice of take-home pay. Hollins skews toward ownership, which means most households here have some financial stability, but a quarter of households earn six figures and a fair portion do not, so cost-conscious options matter.
The labor-force participation rate here is relatively modest, which reflects a community that includes retirees and caregivers alongside working adults, and clinic hours that extend into evenings or weekends serve everyone in that mix more realistically than a midday Tuesday slot ever could. With about half of adults married and average households running close to three people, health decisions often affect more than one person under the same roof, making timely screening a shared concern rather than a solo one. That means the barrier is rarely the road itself; it is knowing the options exist before the next appointment on your calendar crowds them out.
Getting there
At 8.92/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Hollins 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 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).
In Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
