Fees & payment
New Life Clinic in Wilmington runs entirely on a no-fee model, requiring an appointment for testing that covers rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs included at that same zero cost.
New Life Clinic carries no fee structure at all, not sliding-scale, not waived under certain conditions, simply no charge for any service offered. That means the hepatitis C test, the rapid HIV result, and bacterial STI treatment each land at the same figure: nothing owed.
Alongside the core four bacterial and viral STIs, New Life Clinic tests for hepatitis C at the same appointment. For patients whose exposure history includes shared equipment or other hepatitis C risk, that result arrives without scheduling a separate visit elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clinton County, the county that includes Martinsville, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#45 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 49% of the state
| Infection | Clinton County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 233.7 98 cases ▼ 49% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 73.9 31 cases ▼ 56% | 168 | 179.5 |

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 Clinton County, chlamydia has fallen from 276.1 to 233.7 per 100,000 (15%), gonorrhea has fallen from 85.7 to 73.9 per 100,000 (14%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.4 to 2.4 per 100,000.
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 Clinton County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clinton County HIV care continuum (2022)
Clinton County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clinton County residents living with HIV, 87.9% are in care · 72.7% 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 Clinton County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
SR 28 cuts straight through the heart of Martinsville, East Main to West Main, and along its stretch live households that skew toward shared roofs and extended families, averaging well over three people per home. That kind of close-knit living means young adults in their late teens and twenties are often navigating relationship milestones, new partners, and shifting health routines all under the same roof as parents or siblings, in a community where nearly half of adults are married and a solid majority own their homes. The roughly four in ten who rent tend to be in earlier life stages, stretching an $839 monthly payment in a town where high-earning households are relatively rare, which makes the cost and convenience of any health appointment genuinely matter.
For that under-35 crowd, keeping up with STI screening often comes down to whether the logistics are manageable on a busy week. Clinton County's STI picture makes routine testing a practical priority rather than an afterthought, and the options listed on this page serve residents across the area. But knowing that ahead of time lets you plan around it, the same way you'd schedule any errand out on SR 28, and the Martinsville Road Covered Bridge isn't on the way to anywhere by accident either.

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.
