Beckley-Raleigh County Health Department, Beckley's public health department clinic, requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and herpes testing alongside STI treatment, HPV and hepatitis A/B vaccines, and family planning on a sliding-scale fee through Title X.
Without Title X standing, a minor seeking family planning faces a billing trail or a conversation they didn't choose to have. At Beckley-Raleigh County Health Department, Title X designation makes those services legally confidential: the care happens, and it stays between the patient and the clinic.
Herpes screening disappears from the menu at plenty of STI clinics, it simply isn't part of the default panel. Beckley-Raleigh County Health Department runs it alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so a single appointment covers viral infections that would otherwise require a separate visit somewhere else.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Raleigh County, the county that includes Mabscott, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#4 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 93% of the state
| Infection | Raleigh County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 352.4 255 cases ▲ 42% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 59.4 43 cases ▲ 9% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 27.6 20 cases ▲ 153% | 10.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.7 7 cases ▲ 59% | 6.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 15.2 11 cases ▼ 7% | 16.3 | 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 Raleigh County, chlamydia has fallen from 352.6 to 352.4 per 100,000 (0%), gonorrhea has fallen from 84.5 to 59.4 per 100,000 (30%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.3 to 27.6 per 100,000 (2023%).

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 Raleigh County.
Local HIV snapshot
Raleigh County HIV care continuum (2021)
Raleigh County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Raleigh County residents living with HIV, 78.8% are in care · 66.4% 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 Raleigh County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Beckley's older neighborhoods spill right into Mabscott's edge, and the daily rhythm here. Longer drives out Robert C. Byrd Drive, households that have mostly put down roots, a community where more than half of adults are married and homes turn over slowly. Shapes how health decisions actually get made.
When nearly three-quarters of residents own their homes and household sizes run above three, healthcare choices tend to involve coordinating around partners, kids, and shared schedules rather than just personal availability. That coordination becomes especially relevant for young adults in their late teens and twenties, who represent a meaningful slice of the population. STI rates nationally concentrate hardest in exactly these years, and in a place where labor-force participation is modest and unemployment is real, the cost and clock both matter. At roughly $688 a month in rent, a bill that seems minor elsewhere can genuinely crowd out a clinic visit, which is one reason the range of options listed on this page, including lower-cost and sliding-scale sites reachable from the West Virginia Turnpike, is worth scanning carefully before assuming nothing nearby fits a tight budget.
Starting from the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine area, it's worth checking which listed option has the earliest or latest hours. That single detail often determines whether a visit actually lands on the calendar.
Getting there
At 7.86/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Mabscott generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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