See the options below.
Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Lansdale, PA. The nearest, Quest Diagnostics, is about 0.6 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.

Bucks County Health Department, Doylestown's public health department clinic, backs STI care with the county's full infrastructure (rapid and conventional HIV testing, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB, on a sliding scale, by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs) all at no fee.
A cost barrier at a testing clinic doesn't stay abstract, it becomes a skipped follow-up, a deferred treatment, a gap that widens. Bucks County Health Department charges nothing for HIV, STI, or TB testing, and that zero-cost structure holds across the full visit, not just the initial screen.
Many clinics leave Spanish-speaking patients navigating clinical language through improvised workarounds that flatten nuance at exactly the wrong moment. Bucks County Health Department delivers care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about symptoms, history, and treatment happens without that gap in the room.
Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected while treating a bacterial STI means a second appointment, a second system, and a second chance for something to fall through. Bucks County Health Department includes hepatitis B and C testing in the same visit, and provides on-site treatment for hepatitis C, so nothing gets deferred to a separate encounter.

Novus Medical Services in Doylestown tests for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes on a sliding-scale fee, with free testing available, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit. Appointments are required.
Novus Medical Services lists no-fee coverage across its entire service menu: testing, STI treatment, HIV/AIDS medical care, hepatitis C treatment, and PrEP for the uninsured included. That single pricing structure means nothing is carved out as a paid add-on once you're through the door.
Novus Medical Services delivers care directly in Spanish, which means medication adherence counseling, HIV test counseling, and prevention education all happen in the same language the conversation starts in. Without a handoff to a separate service.
Many testing sites stop at the result and point elsewhere for prevention medication. Novus Medical Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, keeping the clinical relationship intact rather than splitting it across providers.

Delaware Valley Community Health in Norristown tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, appointments required, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care delivered in Spanish.
Spanish-language services at Delaware Valley Community Health are woven into clinical workflows: providers and staff conduct consultations, medication adherence counseling, and STI treatment discussions directly in Spanish, so nothing passes through an intermediary before reaching the patient.
Many clinics screen for HIV risk but leave prevention prescribing to outside providers. Delaware Valley Community Health in Norristown writes and manages PrEP and PEP internally, meaning the same clinical relationship that handles your testing also handles the medication that keeps transmission risk low.
Delaware Valley Community Health tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial and viral panel, which means infections that would go undetected at a narrower clinic show up here, and hepatitis B treatment is available on-site to act on those results.

Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services, Norristown's public health department, runs its STI program with the breadth of a government health system behind it: conventional HIV testing, the full bacterial panel, same-visit treatment for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, plus HPV and hepatitis vaccines, all at no charge.
When cost sits between a person and treatment, infections persist and partners go unnotified. Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services charges nothing (not for the test, not for treatment, not for vaccines) so a financial barrier never becomes the reason care didn't happen.
Many clinics handle a language gap with a workaround that keeps the conversation at arm's length. Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services provides care directly in Spanish, so the clinical conversation (exposure history, treatment instructions, prevention counseling) happens in the language a patient actually uses to make decisions.

Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania in Norristown tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV, bacterial infections treated the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid and most insurers. Appointments are required. Spanish and interpretation services are available.
Spanish is spoken directly at this Norristown location, and for other languages, live interpretation is staffed into appointments. Not arranged ad hoc. That means clinical conversations about dosing, side effects, and follow-up happen in the language a patient uses to reason through medical decisions, without a separate scheduling step.
As a Title X site, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania provides legally confidential family planning services to minors. Meaning care and test results are not disclosed to a parent or guardian without the patient's consent. That legal protection is built into how the clinic operates, not granted case by case.
Leaving prevention medication to a separate prescriber means a second appointment, a possible gap in coverage, and out-of-pocket costs stacking up before the first dose. At Planned Parenthood Southeastern PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP are all prescribed and managed on-site, including PrEP access for uninsured patients, so prevention doesn't stall at the referral stage.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Montgomery County, the county that includes Lansdale, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#23 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 66% of the state
| Infection | Montgomery County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 258.6 2,247 cases ▼ 39% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 72.2 627 cases ▼ 50% | 144.7 | 179.5 |

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 Montgomery County, chlamydia has risen from 220.8 to 258.6 per 100,000 (17%), gonorrhea has risen from 67.9 to 72.2 per 100,000 (6%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.3 to 5.6 per 100,000 (143%).

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 Montgomery County.
Local HIV snapshot
Montgomery County HIV care continuum (2023)
Montgomery County recorded 5.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Montgomery County residents living with HIV, 75.4% are in care · 64.7% 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 Montgomery 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.
