Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for Martinsburg, WV. The nearest, Berkeley-Morgan County Health Departments, is about 0.8 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Berkeley-Morgan County Health Departments in Martinsburg tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs at the same visit. All on a sliding scale, with every service available at no fee. An appointment is required.
For anyone paying out of pocket and without a regular provider, the full scope here (testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, vaccines, and TB care) carries no fee regardless of income. There's no partial coverage with a bill attached to the parts that matter most.
For a Spanish speaker without an established primary care relationship, Berkeley-Morgan County Health Departments delivers the entire clinical encounter (history, testing, treatment, counseling) in Spanish. That means nothing gets compressed or skipped because of language.
Anyone without a regular provider who wants a genuinely complete picture benefits from a panel that adds herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the bacterial STIs and HIV. For someone managing their own health without routine checkups, that broader reach from a single appointment closes real gaps.

Shenandoah Community Health in Martinsburg tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, treating bacterial infections the same visit, with fees on a sliding scale and Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance accepted. Appointments are required, and care is delivered in Spanish.
Plenty of clinics accommodate Spanish-speaking patients through patched-together solutions that keep the real conversation at arm's length. At Shenandoah Community Health, Spanish is a language of actual care delivery: exams, counseling, and treatment happen in it, not around it.
Most sexual health clinics treat addiction as somebody else's problem, leaving patients to navigate two separate systems on their own. Shenandoah Community Health keeps substance-use treatment on the same care team as STI services, so those needs get addressed together rather than in parallel silos.
The four-infection panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia) is where most clinics stop, leaving herpes entirely off the table. Shenandoah Community Health adds herpes to its testing menu, giving patients a more complete picture in a single appointment.

Berkeley Medical Center, a full-service medical clinic in Martinsburg, integrates STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointment-based care supported by interpretation services.
Berkeley Medical Center provides interpretation services for non-English languages across all its clinical appointments. That coverage applies to STI testing, treatment decisions, medication adherence counseling, and prevention conversations. Meaning every clinical exchange carries the same weight regardless of the language it happens in.
Many testing-only clinics leave HIV prevention prescribing to outside providers. Berkeley Medical Center issues both PrEP and PEP directly, so the decision to start or continue HIV prevention medication doesn't require a separate clinical relationship or a second appointment elsewhere.
Beyond diagnosing hepatitis C, Berkeley Medical Center carries treatment through to completion on-site, alongside hepatitis B treatment. A clinical depth that keeps ongoing antiviral management within the same provider relationship that ordered the initial test.

Jefferson County Health Department in Kearneysville tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit: all on a sliding-scale fee structure, with an appointment required, and every test and service provided at no cost.
Jefferson County Health Department charges nothing for any service it provides, and that zero-dollar baseline means a hepatitis C diagnosis, a TB result, or a same-visit gonorrhea treatment never stalls behind a billing conversation. Care moves forward because cost never enters the equation.
As a Title X-funded site, Jefferson County Health Department is legally required to keep family planning services (contraception, STI testing, counseling) confidential for minors, entirely separate from any parental insurance or billing record. That protection is a federal statutory requirement, not a policy the department can waive.
Leaving Kearneysville with only a referral for PrEP or DoxyPEP means another appointment, another wait, and, for the uninsured, another cost barrier before a prescription exists. Jefferson County Health Department prescribes all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP when it's needed, and DoxyPEP to reduce bacterial STI risk, each managed here rather than handed off.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Berkeley County, the county that includes Martinsburg, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#7 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | Berkeley County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 299 396 cases ▲ 20% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 64.2 85 cases ▲ 17% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.8 5 cases ▼ 65% | 10.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.3 3 cases ▼ 62% | 6.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.3 7 cases ▼ 67% | 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 Berkeley County, chlamydia has fallen from 308.8 to 299 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 71.3 to 64.2 per 100,000 (10%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.9 to 3.8 per 100,000 (22%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Berkeley County.
Local HIV snapshot
Berkeley County HIV care continuum (2023)
Berkeley County recorded 4.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Berkeley County residents living with HIV, 75.3% are in care · 63.3% 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 Berkeley County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Winchester Avenue carries most of the through-traffic in and out of Martinsburg, and for many residents a clinic visit means following it north or south until the city gives way to the next county. That drive matters when unemployment is running at a level that makes an unplanned afternoon off genuinely costly, and when slightly more than half of households here rent rather than own, monthly budgets leave little slack for last-minute expenses, including the kind a health appointment can generate. The rental-majority character of Martinsburg shapes who lives here and how settled they feel.
With fewer than a third of adults currently married and households averaging more than three people, a lot of people in their late teens and twenties are navigating shared houses, shifting roommate arrangements, or early relationships, all circumstances where regular STI screening is practical rather than precautionary. Berkeley County's STI figures reinforce that point: the age group concentrated in those years carries a disproportionate share of local cases, and the options listed on this page exist precisely to make testing reachable before cost or distance becomes the deciding factor. Rosemont and Irish Hill residents alike are largely renters with full households and stretched schedules, and a test that fits a lunch break or a Saturday slot is the one that actually gets booked.
Getting there
At 6.23/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Martinsburg 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.
