Central Virginia Health Services in Louisa runs on a sliding-scale fee structure open to everyone: Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance accepted, with HIV and hepatitis C testing free outright.

Every service carries no fee barrier.

Free Services, No Unpaid Gap Left Behind

When a clinic charges even a modest co-pay, some people weigh whether to return for follow-up, and that gap is where an untreated infection lingers. At Central Virginia Health Services, every service is provided at no fee, so a second visit for treatment, counseling, or lab review costs exactly what the first one did.

Spanish-Language Care Delivered, Not Patched Together

Many clinics handle Spanish-speaking patients through workarounds that leave critical clinical detail to chance. Central Virginia Health Services delivers care directly in Spanish, so conversations about diagnosis, treatment, and prevention happen in full, without anything lost in the relay.

PrEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

Central Virginia Health Services prescribes and monitors both PrEP, the daily oral regimen that suppresses HIV acquisition, and PEP, tracking adherence and running the labs required to keep those medications safe and effective over time. That clinical oversight happens within the same practice, not handed off elsewhere.

Every Service Here Carries No Charge

Plenty of public health clinics layer fees onto services beyond the basic panel, a charge for treatment here, a co-pay for counseling there. At Virginia Department of Health in Louisa, the entire scope of care, from testing through treatment to prevention counseling, carries no charge to the patient.

Interpretation Services Keep Care from Stalling

Without on-site interpretation, a patient who doesn't speak English fluently leaves Virginia Department of Health in Louisa with instructions they can't act on. Prescriptions misunderstood, follow-up skipped, infections that persist. Interpretation services are available here so that diagnosis and treatment land with full clarity the first time.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Virginia Department of Health in Louisa prescribes and monitors all three prevention regimens: daily oral PrEP for sustained HIV protection, PEP for post-exposure HIV prevention, and DoxyPEP, taken after sex, for bacterial STI prevention. Each requires clinical follow-up and lab monitoring that the clinic manages directly, not through an outside provider.

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, 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.

Confidentiality & consent in Virginia

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

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Virginia, 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)

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.
