Novant Health in Jacksonville brings hospital-system infrastructure to STI care: conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A/B/C testing on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. Interpretation services extend that access to non-English speakers.
Novant Health carries hepatitis C care through both diagnosis and active treatment, meaning the clinical relationship that begins with an antibody test continues into the antiviral management phase without a handoff to another provider. That continuity shortens the gap between a confirmed result and a treatment start date.
For anyone without a regular prescribing provider, or paying out of pocket with access to Novant's sliding-scale fees, both PrEP and PEP are available through this practice, covering ongoing HIV prevention and post-exposure response under one clinical relationship rather than splitting those needs across separate systems.
Interpretation services at Novant Health in Jacksonville are available for non-English languages and are integrated into the appointment model, so the structured, provider-led visit that makes STI care here more thorough is the same format through which language access is delivered, preserving the clinical exchange rather than abbreviating it.

Star Medical Clinic in Jacksonville tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, by appointment, with care delivered in Spanish.
Plenty of STI clinics cap their panel at four infections and leave everything else to be sorted separately. Star Medical Clinic tests for herpes, and for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV workup. Meaning a fuller picture from a single appointment.
Star Medical Clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside referral needed to access either prevention medication. Having both under the same clinical roof means ongoing PrEP monitoring and any time-sensitive PEP course are handled by providers already familiar with a patient's history.
For a Spanish-speaking patient without a regular provider (navigating medication adherence, HIV medical treatment, or a hepatitis B diagnosis) clinical accuracy in their primary language isn't a courtesy, it's essential. Star Medical Clinic delivers that care directly in Spanish, across counseling, treatment, and education.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jones County, the county that includes Maysville, compare with North Carolina 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.
#43 of 100 North Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 57% of the state
| Infection | Jones County | North Carolina | United States |

| Chlamydia | 510.6 48 cases ▼ 16% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 180.8 17 cases ▼ 26% | 243.2 | 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 Jones County, chlamydia has risen from 457.9 to 510.6 per 100,000 (12%), gonorrhea has risen from 98.1 to 180.8 per 100,000 (84%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 21.6 to 10.6 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 Jones County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jones County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jones County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jones County residents living with HIV, 75% are in care · 65% 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 Jones County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Maysville's economy runs on agriculture and timber work, trades that keep people outdoors and moving through the county. That rhythm of seasonal labor and long hours means routine health checkups often slip down the list, even when they shouldn't. STI testing in and around Maysville is available through clinics and providers listed on this page, accessible without the fanfare that can make screening feel like a public event in a place where people tend to know one another. Larger family households are common here, with multiple generations under one roof.
Young adults living within those homes, people in their late teens through their thirties, may find that confidential testing carries real weight. Knowing results stay private, without automatic notification to household members or employers, matters when your home and your workplace are often the same people and place. Getting tested doesn't require a long drive or a trip to a distant city clinic. The providers available in and around Maysville can handle screening quickly and discreetly, fitting into the same practical mindset that governs the rest of life here: show up, get it done, move forward.
Getting there

Two things that actually depend on North Carolina 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 North Carolina, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
North Carolina 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.
