Health Partners of Western Ohio in Kenton tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C, treating bacterial infections the same visit. Fees run on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurers. An appointment is required.
Health Partners prescribes and monitors PrEP: meaning the lab work, follow-up visits, and prescription renewals happen here, not across multiple providers. PEP is also available, handled by the same clinical staff who manage the rest of your prevention plan.
For someone without a specialist or a primary care relationship, having hepatitis C treatment, not just the antibody test, available at Health Partners of Western Ohio closes a gap that sends most people chasing separate appointments. The clinic carries the full arc from diagnosis through antiviral treatment on-site.
People managing active substance use face compounding health risks that rarely fit neatly into a single-specialty clinic. Health Partners addresses both directly, substance-use treatment runs alongside STI testing and care, so those needs don't have to compete for separate appointments at separate facilities.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wyandot County, the county that includes Marseilles, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~40% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#70 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 20% of the state
| Infection | Wyandot County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 181.8 39 cases ▼ 61% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 41.9 9 cases ▼ 75% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.3 2 cases ▼ 43% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.7 1 cases ▼ 49% | 9.2 | 16 |

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 Wyandot County, chlamydia has fallen from 232.9 to 181.8 per 100,000 (22%), gonorrhea has fallen from 59.4 to 41.9 per 100,000 (29%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.6 to 9.3 per 100,000 (102%).

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 Wyandot County.
Local HIV snapshot
Wyandot County HIV care continuum (2023)
Wyandot County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Wyandot County residents living with HIV, 100% are in care · 80% 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 Wyandot County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Marseilles sits far enough from the nearest clinic that getting tested means clearing a chunk of your schedule, not just a lunch break, and for younger adults navigating new relationships or early household arrangements, that distance is often what tips a planned appointment into a postponed one. With nearly three-quarters of the local workforce employed and a low unemployment picture, most people here are working full schedules, which makes the logistics of an out-of-town drive feel heavier than the decision itself. The town's strong homeownership culture and modest home values paint a picture of a rooted, cost-conscious community. One where discretionary spending gets scrutinized. For the roughly one-in-four residents who rent, and for younger adults still building financial footing, an unexpected copay or the fuel cost of a county-road drive can genuinely reshape whether screening happens this month or gets quietly deferred. That practical calculus is exactly why the mix of options matters, not just that options exist.
listings on this page span a range of fees, hours, and distances from Marseilles, which means some combination of cost structure and appointment availability is likely workable. Someone based near the highway out of town has different math than a household deeper into Wyandot County's rural spread, and that spread of listed choices is what makes finding the right fit possible rather than just theoretical.
Getting there
At 6.77/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Marseilles generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
