Fees & payment
Paths, in Martinsville, covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB testing on a sliding scale: walk-ins welcome, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and all services provided at no fee.
Paths operates a zero-fee structure across its entire service line: testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling all carry the same price: nothing. Sliding-scale eligibility is calculated for anyone, but the floor is zero, and that floor applies universally.
Paths holds an on-site hepatitis C treatment program, meaning antiviral prescribing and ongoing management stay within the same clinic rather than ending at a diagnosis. That continuity keeps treatment timelines intact and eliminates hand-offs to external providers.
Paths tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the core bacterial and viral STI panel, a combined screen that catches bloodborne infections in the same visit. Because both hepatitis strains are also treated on-site, a positive result moves directly into a management plan.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Martinsville city, the city that includes Martinsville, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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 Martinsville city, chlamydia has risen from 697.1 to 886.4 per 100,000 (27%), gonorrhea has risen from 304 to 392.4 per 100,000 (29%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 14.8 to 7.3 per 100,000 (51%).

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 Martinsville city.

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.

Data & references
Local context
Martinsville carries the quiet markers of a settled place: more than half of households own their homes, many of them along the older corridors off Starling Avenue and through neighborhoods like Hilltop and Jones Creek. But ownership here doesn't soften the underlying math: labor-force participation is notably low, unemployment runs well above national norms, and with fewer than one in eight households reaching six-figure incomes, discretionary spending stays tight. For the roughly four in ten residents who rent, a median monthly payment under $700 sounds manageable until it sits alongside those employment gaps, and suddenly a clinic co-pay or an afternoon off work isn't a small ask. That's the real access story.
Down Memorial Boulevard South, out past East Church Street, wherever the nearest open slot happens to be. For younger adults still building careers and relationships, the people in their late teens and twenties who account for the largest share of STI diagnoses statewide, coordinating transportation around a work schedule that may already be precarious is often what determines whether a test actually happens. The good news is that the options listed here vary enough in hours and fees that most people can find a fit without burning a full workday, something worth knowing before the need becomes urgent.
Getting there

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 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 Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
