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.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where Most Clinics Stop

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.

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.

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.

Local context

About Marlow, NH

Marlow Hill and the farmsteads clustered around it tell you a lot about who lives here: a community where the overwhelming majority own their homes, most households are families, and the average kitchen table seats closer to three than two. That stability is genuine, but it comes paired with a workforce reality that shapes nearly everything about daily scheduling: well under two-thirds of residents are actively working, and those who are often keep hours that don't bend easily around mid-week appointments. For people in their late teens and twenties, that weight is sharper still. Routine STI screening rarely feels urgent until it is, and when getting tested requires a deliberate drive down Route 10 rather than a short walk, it tends to get deferred.

With nearly three in ten households here earning above six figures, cost is less often the obstacle than time and distance, which makes appointment flexibility the deciding factor. That's exactly why scanning the full listing matters. Even one option, depending on its hours and telehealth availability, can fit around the rhythms of a household anchored near Mack Hill or Dartmouth College Road in a way a more distant appointment simply wouldn't.

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.
