A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Interpretation Services Widen Who Gets Accurate Care
Interpretation services are available for non-English languages at this Keene clinic, which means the clinical conversation (symptom history, treatment instructions, follow-up needs) can happen in a language the patient commands rather than one they're approximating.
Title X Guarantees Confidential Care for Minors
As a Title X–funded site, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Keene is bound by federal law to keep minors' family planning and STI services confidential: a named legal protection, not a policy preference, that determines what can and cannot appear on a billing statement or explanation of benefits.
Many STI testing sites hand off prevention prescribing entirely: PrEP and PEP require a provider relationship, ongoing labs, and follow-through that most testing-only operations aren't built for. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in Keene prescribes and manages both, keeping HIV prevention in the same clinical home as testing.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 6 miles away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Marlborough, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

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 Cheshire County tests for syphilis.

Chesham Village District sits quietly off the main corridors, and for residents there, or anywhere along Monadnock Highway, getting to a testing appointment means committing to a real drive, not a short walk. That planning falls on a community with its own particular rhythms. More than three in five households here own their homes, which speaks to a degree of rootedness, but nearly four in ten are renters carrying a monthly payment that leaves limited slack for unexpected out-of-pocket costs, so the fees and sliding-scale options shown in the clinic cards above aren't minor details. Larger household sizes mean schedules get complicated fast, and with a tight local job market where virtually everyone who's looking is already working, carving out a weekday window isn't always straightforward for younger adults.
The late-teens-and-twenties crowd whose age group sees the sharpest uptick in new diagnoses. That's precisely where the listed option's hours matter most. Whether someone is heading north on NH 12 or catching Main Street west, knowing whether a clinic opens early or offers evening slots is the difference between a test that fits a packed household schedule and one that keeps getting rescheduled.

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