How to read these listings
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.

Lamprey Health Care in Nashua runs by appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid and conventional HIV, and TB testing on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers: bacterial STIs treated same visit, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines available, with care delivered in Portuguese and Spanish.

Substance-Use Treatment Staffed Alongside STI Care
Lamprey Health Care maintains substance-use treatment as a named clinical service, not a separate referral track. A patient managing both an STI and a substance-use condition is seen within the same practice, where providers can coordinate prescribing, monitor treatment progress, and schedule follow-up together rather than across disconnected programs.
Title X Covers Minors With Legally Confidential Appointments
As a Title X-funded site, Lamprey Health Care is legally required to keep family planning services for minors confidential: meaning the visit, testing, and any resulting care are not disclosed to a parent or guardian without the patient's consent. That protection is built into Title X's federal framework and governs how records are handled operationally.
Portuguese and Spanish Are Working Clinical Languages Here
Portuguese and Spanish are staffed languages at Lamprey Health Care in Nashua: used in the exam room, during counseling, and across the care visit itself. That means prescriptions are explained, symptoms are discussed, and follow-up instructions are given directly in the language the provider and patient share.

No Fee Means No Deferred Care
When cost is part of the equation, a fee at any point in care (testing, treatment, counseling) can be the reason something goes untreated. At the Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services, every service, from the initial test through STI treatment and PrEP, carries no charge, so cost never becomes the reason a visit doesn't happen or a prescription goes unfilled.
ASL, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole on Staff
The Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services delivers care directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole: meaning the clinical conversation, not just check-in, happens in a language the patient uses fluently, which matters when the topic is a treatment plan, a prevention medication, or a TB protocol.
PrEP and PEP Both Available On-Site
The Nashua Division of Public Health and Community Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP, which means a patient leaving with a prevention plan leaves with an actual prescription, not a referral to sort out elsewhere, keeping the gap between decision and medication as short as possible.

Zero-Dollar Care Backed by Real Billing Structure
Harbor Care's sliding scale is staffed and structured to absorb the full cost: the clinic carries a no-fee tier built into its fee schedule, so the panel, treatment, vaccines, and PrEP prescriptions are all invoiced at zero when income qualifies. No separate application, no secondary program enrollment.
Spanish and Interpreted Care on Staff
Harbor Care provides services directly in Spanish, with interpretation available for additional languages beyond that: meaning clinical conversations about medication adherence, hepatitis C treatment protocols, and PrEP dosing happen in the language a patient uses naturally, not through a secondary layer.
PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here for the Long Term
For anyone without a regular prescriber, paying cash or navigating gaps in coverage, Harbor Care holds the full PrEP capability in one place: initial evaluation, prescription, and the ongoing medication adherence counseling that keeps the regimen effective over time.

Harbor Homes, Inc. Headquarters in Nashua meets patients where they are (whether uninsured, between providers, or paying cash) through federally qualified status that ties fees to income. Sliding-scale STI screening covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with no appointment needed to get started.

Every Service Here Is Free of Charge
The zero-cost structure at Dartmouth Health isn't a discount tier or income-screened program: it's operationally baked into Ryan White and public-health funding that covers staffing, labs, and medications alike. PrEP prescriptions, hepatitis C treatment, and HIV medical management are all included under that same funding umbrella, with no separate billing pathway.
Spanish Spoken On-Site, Interpretation Beyond That
Spanish is available as a direct-service language at Dartmouth Health in Nashua, meaning clinical conversations (risk counseling, medication adherence education, TB treatment protocols) happen in Spanish without routing through an intermediary. For other languages, interpretation services are operationally in place across the full range of appointments.
Ryan White Carries HIV Care Past the Test
Many testing sites hand off a positive result to a separate HIV care provider, leaving a gap between diagnosis and ongoing management. Dartmouth Health's Ryan White funding closes that gap: rapid and conventional HIV testing, medical treatment, and medication adherence counseling all run continuously within the same clinic.

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.

Hillsborough recorded 4.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 2.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hillsborough residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 72.6% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Hillsborough tests for syphilis.

Central Street through Hudson's Nashville Historic District carries the look of a town that settled in decades ago: high homeownership, households that run large, and a majority of families earning well above state medians. That stability shapes how residents think about healthcare, including sexual health. When more than half of adults are married and most have owned their homes for years, routine screening can feel like something that belongs to a different stage of life, even though Hillsborough's STI rates don't sort themselves by mortgage status. The younger adults living here, people in their late teens and twenties building careers and relationships, are the group where chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis concentrate most sharply.
Hudson's high labor-force participation means that segment of the population keeps full schedules, and with the nearest testing options a drive out along Lowell Road or back toward the Nashua border, fitting an appointment into a compressed week takes actual planning. Rent at Hudson's typical rate is not cheap, so the mix of fees and hours listed for each option on this page matters when someone is weighing whether to go at all. Knowing which one sits closest to your usual route on NH 111 is a reasonable place to start.

What each STD test costsMedicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket
These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Hudson often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee.

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