Family Planning Plus in Lewisburg requires an appointment, and that single visit covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, TB, and HIV) plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and PEP, all at no fee on a sliding scale.
Every service at Family Planning Plus (testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, PEP) carries no fee, which means the full scope of what the clinic offers stays on the table regardless of what a visit ends up requiring.
Spanish-language care at Family Planning Plus extends through clinical counseling, including DoxyPEP dosing guidance and PrEP adherence education, so the medication specifics and follow-up expectations land with the same precision as they do in English.
As a Title X clinic, Family Planning Plus is legally bound to keep minors' family planning and STI services confidential, not as a policy choice but as a federal program requirement, which means records from those visits cannot be disclosed to a parent or guardian.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Union County, the county that includes Lewisburg, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~51% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#46 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 31% of the state
| Infection | Union County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 168.9 71 cases ▼ 60% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 11.9 5 cases ▼ 92% | 144.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.5 4 cases ▲ 4% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.4 1 cases ▼ 77% | 10.3 | 16 |

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 Union County, chlamydia has fallen from 180.4 to 168.9 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 23.4 to 11.9 per 100,000 (49%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 9.4 to 9.5 per 100,000 (1%).

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 Union County.
Local HIV snapshot
Union County HIV care continuum (2023)
Union County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Union County residents living with HIV, 38.8% are in care · 28.2% 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 Union County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Along North Derr Drive, where US 15 carries commuters through the quieter edges of Lewisburg, the distance between a paycheck and a monthly shortfall can close faster than most people expect. Especially when that $724 rent lands beside every other fixed cost in a town where renters outnumber owners and anything that feels optional, including a clinic visit, is the first thing to go. Lewisburg's workforce participation rate is notably low, which likely reflects the large student and part-time population that clusters around Market Street and the neighborhoods near Hufnagle Park, and that same group (people in their late teens and twenties, forming relationships and moving frequently) is precisely who benefits most from screening that doesn't require a half-day commitment or an unexpected bill.
With fewer than one in four adults married and average households running close to three people, there's a lot of shared living happening here, which, alongside Union County's STI landscape, makes routine screening a straightforward act of care for yourself and whoever you live with. The good news is that the range of providers on this page includes low-cost and sliding-scale options, so cost pressure doesn't have to be the reason a test gets rescheduled past Green Park and forgotten entirely.
Getting there
At 7.99/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Lewisburg generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
