Cabell-Huntington Health Department in Huntington runs all STI visits by appointment, and a single scheduled visit can cover testing, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines. With Spanish-language care available.
The testing panel at Cabell-Huntington Health Department covers seven pathogens: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Hepatitis C and herpes testing are included directly, so chronic or often-overlooked infections surface in the same appointment as the standard four.
As a Title X-funded site, Cabell-Huntington Health Department provides family planning services to minors with legally protected confidentiality. Meaning those services cannot be disclosed without the minor's consent, a concrete privacy protection that Title X mandates by law.
Spanish is an active service language at Cabell-Huntington Health Department in Huntington, not a supplementary accommodation. That means clinical conversations (exposure history, test results, treatment instructions) are conducted in Spanish, preserving accuracy at every step of the visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Cabell County, the county that includes Huntington, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~35% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#2 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Cabell County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 405.1 373 cases ▲ 63% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 130.3 120 cases ▲ 138% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.5 17 cases ▲ 70% | 10.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 17.4 16 cases ▲ 185% | 6.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 34.8 32 cases ▲ 113% | 16.3 | 29.5 |

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 Cabell County, chlamydia has fallen from 549 to 405.1 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has fallen from 299.9 to 130.3 per 100,000 (57%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 17 to 18.5 per 100,000 (9%).

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 Cabell County.
Local HIV snapshot
Cabell County HIV care continuum (2023)
Cabell County recorded 31.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Cabell County residents living with HIV, 72.3% are in care · 34.6% 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 Cabell County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Ritter Park anchors a city where households lean toward owner-occupied homes by the narrowest of margins, and where the majority of adults are unmarried, often navigating health decisions without a built-in second opinion or a partner who notices when something gets ignored. Average household size here runs above three people, which means those decisions ripple outward, touching children, roommates, and extended family under the same roof.
With fewer than one in eight households bringing in six figures and a labor-force participation rate that reflects how many Huntington residents are outside traditional nine-to-five employment, the cost and scheduling side of routine screening lands differently here. A $712 monthly rent leaves less cushion than in higher-income metros, so low-cost and sliding-scale options among those listed on this page carry real weight for the Southside and Chancellor Hills residents who would otherwise weigh the appointment against a bill coming due. Several of those options require a drive along Hal Greer Boulevard or 8th Avenue to reach a clinic outside Huntington proper, which is the practical reality of care access in this part of Cabell County.
That geography matters because Huntington skews young, with a large share of residents in the late-teen and twenty-something years when chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis rates run at their peak. Cabell County's STI figures reflect that concentration plainly, and staying current with screening is simply what keeping pace with those numbers looks like for someone living here.
Getting there
At 10.41/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Huntington generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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).
In West Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
