Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Honey Grove, PA. The nearest, Sadler Health Center, is about 11.5 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Sadler Health Center in Loysville runs STI care as part of a broader community health practice: appointments cover the standard bacterial and viral panel, sliding-scale fees apply to everyone, and gonorrhea and chlamydia can be treated the same visit they're found.
Sexual health and substance use intersect in ways that most STI clinics simply aren't equipped to address, the testing happens, but the broader picture doesn't. Sadler Health Center carries substance-use treatment as a standing service alongside STI care, so both conversations can happen with the same clinical team without routing anyone elsewhere.
For anyone without a regular primary-care provider (paying on a sliding scale, managing multiple health concerns at once) having hepatitis B and C testing available at the same appointment as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia means fewer gaps to fill. Sadler Health Center covers that extended panel directly, with hepatitis B vaccination on-site as well.

#39 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 42% of the state

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 Juniata County, chlamydia has risen from 153.1 to 193.6 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has fallen from 29.8 to 4.3 per 100,000 (86%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.3 to 8.6 per 100,000 (100%).

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 Juniata County.
Local HIV snapshot
Juniata County HIV care continuum (2023)
Juniata County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Juniata County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 55% 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 Juniata County tests for syphilis.

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 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.
