Inova-GoHealth Urgent Care in Falls Church handles STI testing and treatment as part of urgent-care walk-in medicine, so no appointment is needed for a panel covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. Fees are billed to insurance or Medicaid, with interpretation services available for non-English languages.
Interpretation services are available for non-English languages across the full visit, meaning language support reaches the clinical conversation where test choices and treatment decisions actually get made, not just the check-in desk.
The testing panel at Inova-GoHealth Urgent Care in Falls Church extends to herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia: nine infections in one visit, which keeps hepatitis workup and herpes confirmation from requiring a separate appointment elsewhere.

Condrell Primary Care in Washington handles STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) alongside HPV and hepatitis vaccines, with fees billed to Medicare or insurance; appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.
Plenty of testing sites confirm exposure risk and hand it off from there, PrEP requires a prescribing relationship that most STI-focused clinics aren't built to sustain. Condrell Primary Care carries both PrEP and PEP as active services, meaning ongoing HIV prevention is managed here, not routed elsewhere.
Running herpes serology requires a blood draw timed to exposure history, while hepatitis A, B, and C each call for distinct antigen or antibody assays. These aren't add-ons clinicians order casually. At Condrell Primary Care, all three hepatitis tests and herpes testing are part of the available panel, so a single appointment produces a genuinely complete picture.

NovaSalud in Falls Church delivers rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside the standard bacterial panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and hepatitis A, B, and C screening, all at no charge to anyone who walks in.
NovaSalud charges nothing for any service it offers, testing, counseling, hepatitis screening, HIV self-tests included. That zero-cost floor means the scope of what someone gets tested for isn't quietly shaped by what they can afford to add to a bill.
NovaSalud staffs clinical conversations in French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, with interpretation available for additional languages: meaning counseling, test results, and medication adherence education are delivered in those languages directly, not relayed through a secondary channel mid-appointment.
Ryan White funding lets NovaSalud carry a patient from first HIV test through ongoing treatment and medication adherence support without a gap in coverage: a standing capability that serves anyone without consistent HIV care, whether they're uninsured, between providers, or newly engaged with treatment.

Privia Health in Falls Church tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit on a sliding-scale fee open to all, walk-ins welcome, with full care delivered in Spanish.
Receiving a hepatitis C diagnosis and then being handed off elsewhere for treatment means weeks of scheduling, repeat intake, and a gap where the virus keeps replicating. Privia Health in Falls Church carries both the diagnosis and the treatment, antiviral management happens on-site, not at a separate specialist months down the road.
PrEP at Privia Health in Falls Church includes the full prescribing and ongoing monitoring cycle (HIV testing, renal function checks, and medication management) meaning the clinical relationship that keeps a daily regimen safe and current stays with one practice rather than fragmenting across separate providers.
When care requires a secondary appointment to find a Spanish-speaking provider, the bacterial infection already in progress waits for no one, and same-visit treatment loses its value entirely. At Privia Health in Falls Church, Spanish is a working clinical language across the full visit: testing, treatment, PrEP counseling, and hepatitis management, with no gap in the chain.

Neighborhood Health in Fairfax runs on appointments, so every visit is structured around you: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, vaccines, and sliding-scale fees, all provided at no charge.
Neighborhood Health charges nothing for any service it provides: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, or prevention education. That zero-fee structure applies across the board, not selectively, meaning the full scope of the clinic's care is available without a financial ceiling on what you can access in a single appointment.
Neighborhood Health staffs interpretation services for non-English languages directly within the clinic's care delivery, not as a backup channel but as a built-in operational layer. That means clinical conversations about exposure history, medication adherence counseling, and prevention education proceed in the language the patient uses, without routing through an outside service.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV, Neighborhood Health tests for herpes and for hepatitis A, B, and C individually. Three distinct viral strains that each carry different transmission routes and clinical consequences. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also available on-site, closing the loop between detection and prevention in the same appointment.

Seven Corners Medical Center in Falls Church tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a fee-based sliding scale, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.
Seven Corners carries both PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services: meaning anyone without a primary care provider, or without one who prescribes HIV prevention medications, has a direct path to them here. The clinic handles the initial evaluation, prescribing, and ongoing monitoring without routing that care anywhere else.
When hepatitis C is detected at Seven Corners, treatment, typically a direct-acting antiviral regimen, is prescribed and monitored in-house. Clinicians track viral load response across the treatment course rather than handing the case off to a specialist, keeping the prescribing and follow-up under one medical team.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Seven Corners runs herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing as part of its panel. Each requires specific sample collection or serology (herpes via swab or blood antibody testing, hepatitis via targeted blood draws) so the clinical setup here supports the full workup rather than a narrower screen.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fairfax County, the county that includes McLean, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~17% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#69 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 48% of the state
| Infection | Fairfax County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 309 3,528 cases ▼ 35% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 86.9 992 cases ▼ 45% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.1 58 cases ▼ 52% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.6 75 cases ▼ 31% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.2 116 cases ▼ 35% | 15.8 | 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 Fairfax County, chlamydia has risen from 256.5 to 309 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has risen from 56.2 to 86.9 per 100,000 (55%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4 to 5.1 per 100,000 (27%).

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 Fairfax County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fairfax County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fairfax County recorded 7.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fairfax County residents living with HIV, 64% are in care · 59% 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 Fairfax County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Dolley Madison Boulevard cuts through a McLean where the vast majority of households are owner-occupied and two-thirds of adults are married, a profile that shapes how health decisions get made: they tend to happen in conversation, budgeted alongside mortgage payments and school schedules, folded into the rhythms of a larger family rather than decided alone. Average households here run to more than three people, which means a single adult's choice to get screened can quietly set the standard for how everyone in that home thinks about routine care.
That household stability, combined with the fact that nearly four in five McLean households clear six figures annually, might seem to put every resource within reach, yet the young adults in their late teens and twenties who represent the years most associated with new STI diagnoses are still navigating the usual mix of packed calendars and the social awkwardness of making an appointment in the first place. Fairfax County's STI figures are visible elsewhere on this page, and for someone living near Fort Marcy or along Old Dominion Drive, staying current with screening is simply the clearest way to ensure that those county-level numbers don't find a foothold in a household that otherwise has every condition for good health.
Getting there
McLean scores 14.25/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
