Fees & payment
Loudoun Free Clinic in Leesburg runs on a no-fee model, every test, every treatment, every vaccine costs nothing, with donations accepted for those who choose to give. Appointments are required; gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis can be treated the same visit they're diagnosed.
When cost sits between a person and a diagnosis, infections go untreated and follow-up care gets skipped. At Loudoun Free Clinic, no service carries a charge: not the rapid HIV test, not the hepatitis panel, not the HPV or hepatitis A and B vaccines. Donations are welcome, but nothing is contingent on them.
Many STI clinics screen for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, then stop. Loudoun Free Clinic extends that panel to include hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing, infections that share transmission routes with other STIs but routinely get left off the checklist elsewhere.

Inovain Leesburg runs on scheduled appointments and covers the full bacterial and viral panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees for everyone, and all services provided at no fee.
Inovacarries no charge for any service it provides, testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, PEP. For anyone paying cash, between insurance plans, or without a regular provider, that means walking out with care completed rather than a bill to figure out.
Inovaprescribes both PrEP and PEP as part of its standard prevention services, which means patients leave with an active prevention strategy rather than a future errand.
Inovatreats hepatitis C on-site: a meaningful advantage for anyone without a specialist relationship or a system to navigate on their own, since diagnosis and the treatment plan live at the same address.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Loudoun County, the county that includes Lovettsville, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#101 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 24% of the state
| Infection | Loudoun County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 206.3 900 cases ▼ 56% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 43.8 191 cases ▼ 72% | 158.3 | 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 Loudoun County, chlamydia has fallen from 210.2 to 206.3 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has risen from 24.9 to 43.8 per 100,000 (76%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.6 to 3 per 100,000 (15%).

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 Loudoun County.
Local HIV snapshot
Loudoun County HIV care continuum (2023)
Loudoun County recorded 4.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Loudoun County residents living with HIV, 73.6% are in care · 66.9% 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 Loudoun County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Lovettsville turns on the rhythms of land and family, vineyards and horse farms, weekend farmers markets, the kind of place where people build lives that span decades. Many households here include multiple generations under one roof, and young adults often stay close to where they grew up. That rootedness brings stability, but it also means privacy around health matters takes on weight in a town where faces and stories overlap. STI testing in and around Lovettsville serves that reality: confidential screening available through the clinics listed on this page, where what you discuss stays between you and the provider, no exceptions and no record shared with neighbors or employers. For young adults navigating early relationships or simply establishing baseline health habits, routine testing fits into the same practical category as any other preventive care.
Something to handle straightforwardly, without the weight of assumption. Lovettsville's testing sites offer the same range of rapid and standard tests found elsewhere, with results typically ready within days, and the ability to choose how and when you learn them. The terrain around Short Hill Mountain and White Rock, and the community's ties to Nell Boone Park, anchor a town where people plan to stay. That permanence makes confidential, accessible health screening not a luxury but a straightforward part of living here.

Two things that actually depend on 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 Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
