Family Planning Plus in Lewisburg requires an appointment, and that single visit covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, TB, and HIV) plus same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, PrEP, DoxyPEP, and PEP, all at no fee on a sliding scale.
Every service at Family Planning Plus (testing, treatment, PrEP, DoxyPEP, PEP) carries no fee, which means the full scope of what the clinic offers stays on the table regardless of what a visit ends up requiring.
Spanish-language care at Family Planning Plus extends through clinical counseling, including DoxyPEP dosing guidance and PrEP adherence education, so the medication specifics and follow-up expectations land with the same precision as they do in English.
As a Title X clinic, Family Planning Plus is legally bound to keep minors' family planning and STI services confidential, not as a policy choice but as a federal program requirement, which means records from those visits cannot be disclosed to a parent or guardian.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Northumberland County, the county that includes McEwensville, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#25 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 63% of the state
| Infection | Northumberland County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 248.6 224 cases ▼ 41% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 34.4 31 cases ▼ 76% | 144.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8.9 8 cases ▼ 2% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 1.1 1 cases ▼ 89% | 10.3 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.5 5 cases ▼ 52% | 11.4 | 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 Northumberland County, chlamydia has fallen from 249.9 to 248.6 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 48 to 34.4 per 100,000 (28%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.1 to 8.9 per 100,000 (709%).

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 Northumberland County.
Local HIV snapshot
Northumberland County HIV care continuum (2023)
Northumberland County recorded 7.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Northumberland County residents living with HIV, 86.4% are in care · 60.6% 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 Northumberland County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
A steady stream of young adults moves through McEwensville drawn by work at the area's mills and manufacturing plants, by housing that costs less than what they'd pay elsewhere, or by family roots that keep them anchored here. That practical calculus (affordability, steady work, proximity to relatives) brings people into their twenties and thirties at a life stage when confidential STI screening becomes straightforward preventive care. Testing clinics and health providers listed on this page operate throughout the surrounding area, offering the kind of discrete, judgment-free assessment that fits into a working person's schedule without fanfare or fuss. What sets testing in and around McEwensville apart is the genuine quiet that surrounds it.
A screening at a clinic here carries none of the social weight it might in a place where faces blur together less easily. Confidentiality functions as more than policy; it reflects how a smaller community actually behaves, as a place where people respect boundaries and where your health records stay exactly where they belong. The recreation areas and parks that anchor daily life in McEwensville (the William (Jack) Marshall Recreation Area, McEwensville Community Park) remind residents that this is a town built for living well, not just passing through. That same spirit applies to health care: straightforward, accessible, and designed around the real rhythms of people who are building their lives here.

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