Community Health Services in Stony Ridge accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with a sliding-scale fee structure available for everyone else: covering rapid and conventional HIV testing, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines. Appointments are required, and clinical staff deliver care in Spanish.
Spanish-language services at Community Health Services are staffed directly into the clinical team: meaning diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up counseling for STIs, TB, and hepatitis happen in Spanish through the providers and staff themselves, not patched in around the edges of the appointment.
Alongside the core bacterial and HIV tests, Community Health Services runs hepatitis C antibody testing as part of its standard panel: staffed and ordered at the same appointment, so hepatitis C screening is scheduled, drawn, and reviewed within the same clinical workflow as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV.

Mercy Health in Perrysburg covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, rapid and conventional HIV, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, on a sliding-scale fee with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted; appointments required.
A gonorrhea result alone doesn't close the loop, herpes or hepatitis left undetected means returning to square one for another appointment at another facility, potentially weeks later. Mercy Health's panel runs through herpes simplex, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, so those gaps don't become separate follow-up problems.
PrEP at Mercy Health isn't a referral to another provider: the clinic prescribes, monitors adherence, and counsels on the medication directly. That means the HIV testing required before starting, the follow-up labs at 90-day intervals, and the education around missed doses are all handled through the same care relationship.
Many STI clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate sensitive conversations through fragmented arrangements that sit outside the clinical encounter itself. Mercy Health integrates interpretation services directly into the visit, so disclosure, diagnosis, and treatment discussion happen in the language the conversation actually needs to be in.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wood County, the county that includes Luckey, compare with Ohio 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.
#26 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 70% of the state
| Infection | Wood County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 294.8 391 cases ▼ 36% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 80.7 107 cases ▼ 52% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.8 5 cases ▼ 77% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3 4 cases ▼ 67% | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 2.3 3 cases ▼ 86% | 16 | 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 Wood County, chlamydia has fallen from 322.1 to 294.8 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has risen from 58.2 to 80.7 per 100,000 (39%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.5 to 3.8 per 100,000 (16%).

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 Wood County.
Local HIV snapshot
Wood County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Wood County residents living with HIV, 82.8% are in care · 80.6% 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 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 Wood County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Agriculture and small manufacturing anchor Luckey's economy, and the people who work those trades tend to stay: they own homes here, raise families, and build lives that span decades. That kind of stability creates a rhythm to daily life, but it also means health decisions happen quietly, without fanfare. Routine STI screening fits into that rhythm: it's practical care, the kind you arrange on your own terms, when you choose. Young adults in and around Luckey have access to confidential testing through the clinics and providers listed on this page. The screening itself is straightforward and private; results remain between you and the clinic, with no gossip or surprise notifications sent elsewhere.
What matters most is that you can get tested without delay, whether you're between jobs, settled into a relationship, or simply being responsible about your health. The Fairgrounds and the Portage River Trail anchor community life here, but health care happens in quieter spaces. Clinics where staff understand that confidentiality isn't theater, it's a baseline. If you're sexually active or have questions about your status, testing in Luckey is available, accessible, and designed to fit the lives people actually live.

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