Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Hardy County Health Department in Moorefield grounds STI care within public health infrastructure, pairing the standard bacterial and HIV panel with hepatitis B and C testing, STI and same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis A vaccines. All on a sliding scale, by appointment, at no fee.
Hardy County Health Department's sliding-scale fee structure bottoms out at nothing: meaning the full range of testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling carries no charge for any patient. That outcome extends across every service line, not just HIV testing.
Title X designation means family planning services for minors are legally confidential, not a departmental policy, but a federal statutory protection. That distinction is operational: staff are bound by Title X rules, and no disclosure to a guardian is triggered by those specific services.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Hardy County Health Department runs hepatitis B and hepatitis C antibody tests through the same visit. Hepatitis B vaccination is also stocked and administered on-site, allowing confirmed susceptibility and initial immunization to be addressed in a single appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hardy County, the county that includes Moorefield, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#15 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 73% of the state
| Infection | Hardy County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 231.6 33 cases ▼ 7% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 7 1 cases ▼ 87% | 54.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 10.9 | 15.8 |

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 Hardy County, chlamydia has fallen from 328.7 to 231.6 per 100,000 (30%), and gonorrhea has fallen from 76.9 to 7 per 100,000 (91%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Hardy County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hardy County HIV care continuum (2023)
Hardy County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hardy County residents living with HIV, 66.7% are in care · 66.7% 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 Hardy County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
North Main Street anchors daily life in Moorefield the way small-town commercial strips do, a short run of storefronts, a gas station, the kind of place where everyone recognizes your truck. Home values here sit well below national norms, and with nearly half of residents renting at rates that leave little cushion, an unexpected out-of-pocket expense can genuinely reshape a month's budget. That financial tightness shapes how people weigh optional appointments, including routine sexual health screening. The workforce picture adds another layer.
Just under two-thirds of residents participate in the labor force, and those who do tend to keep schedules built around shift work, commutes up Corridor H, or the irregular hours that come with smaller employers. Household structure here skews toward couples and families, which means a screening conversation often involves a partner and shared decision-making, not just individual follow-through. The options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost providers worth checking before assuming the visit isn't affordable on a Moorefield budget.
Getting there

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