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.

Spanish Spoken On-Site, Not Routed Around
When a language barrier meets a diagnosis, delayed understanding can mean incomplete treatment or a missed follow-up. At Planned Parenthood of Gaithersburg, Spanish is spoken directly in the exam room, and interpretation is available for other languages, so nothing about a diagnosis, treatment plan, or next step gets lost between the appointment and the door.
Title X Makes Minor Confidentiality a Legal Guarantee
As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood of Gaithersburg provides legally confidential family planning services to minors. Meaning care is protected without requiring a parent's involvement or insurance. For a teenager without a regular provider or paying out of pocket, that standing legal structure is the difference between seeking care and going without it.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
Planned Parenthood of Gaithersburg prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, not as a referral endpoint, but as an ongoing clinical service. PrEP requires regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring to stay safe and effective; having that follow-up built into the same practice means the prescription doesn't outlive the oversight.

Communication Gaps Leave STIs Untreated Longer
When a clinic can't communicate in your language, a diagnosis gets delayed, a prescription goes misunderstood, and follow-up falls apart. Each gap adding time to an untreated infection. CCI Health Services in Gaithersburg staffs care in Spanish, American Sign Language, and interpretation services for other languages, so every step from test to treatment happens in the same visit without a communication breakdown.
CCI Health Services in Gaithersburg prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing HIV prevention is managed by the same clinical team handling your STI care. No separate specialist, no separate pharmacy relationship to establish from scratch.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at the Same Clinic
Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a positive antibody result typically hands a patient a referral and weeks of waiting while the virus continues its slow damage to the liver. CCI Health Services in Gaithersburg closes that gap: diagnosis and treatment both happen here, keeping the care continuous and the timeline short.

Herpes and Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested Here
The panel at Mobile Medical Care extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C (infections whose status shapes long-term management decisions, from antiviral prescribing to vaccination eligibility) alongside the core four bacterial and HIV tests.
PrEP Prescribed On-Site, Including for the Uninsured

Staffed Interpretation Runs Through Every Clinical Step
Mobile Medical Care operationalizes language access through staffed interpretation services: meaning exposure histories, medication counseling, and treatment discussions are conducted directly in the patient's language rather than relayed through an intermediary layer that can flatten clinical nuance.

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.

Among Montgomery County residents living with HIV, 93.9% know their status · 65.1% are in care · 60.3% are virally suppressed.

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 Montgomery County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in MarylandMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Maryland 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 Maryland, 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)
Maryland 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.
