PrEP Prescribed and Monitored at This Clinic

Health Partners prescribes and monitors PrEP: meaning the lab work, follow-up visits, and prescription renewals happen here, not across multiple providers. PEP is also available, handled by the same clinical staff who manage the rest of your prevention plan.

Hepatitis C Treatment Happens Here, Start to Finish

For someone without a specialist or a primary care relationship, having hepatitis C treatment, not just the antibody test, available at Health Partners of Western Ohio closes a gap that sends most people chasing separate appointments. The clinic carries the full arc from diagnosis through antiviral treatment on-site.

Substance-Use Care and STI Treatment at One Practice

People managing active substance use face compounding health risks that rarely fit neatly into a single-specialty clinic. Health Partners addresses both directly, substance-use treatment runs alongside STI testing and care, so those needs don't have to compete for separate appointments at separate facilities.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Hardin County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About McGuffey, OH

West Lima Street runs quietly through a town where most residents have put down roots: nearly eight in ten households own their homes, and average families here run close to three people. That settled quality shapes daily life in McGuffey, but it doesn't make getting tested for STIs automatic or easy. The workforce picture adds another layer. With unemployment running notably high, a meaningful share of residents are navigating tight schedules without the predictability of steady employment, which can make it harder, not easier, to carve out time for a clinic visit.

The options listed on this page span a range of formats and distances, so finding one that fits around an irregular week is worth a deliberate look rather than a last-minute search. Cost is where McGuffey's profile gets specific. With fewer than one in twelve households clearing six figures and typical rents sitting well under the state average, sliding-scale and no-cost testing options among those listed here can meaningfully change whether screening actually happens. Especially for a renter whose $638 monthly payment already accounts for a large slice of take-home pay.

Confidentiality & consent in Ohio

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

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

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
