Cooper Care Alliance in Collingswood brings full-spectrum STI care through a community health setting, testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointments required.
Interpretation services are woven into clinical care at Cooper Care Alliance: not reserved for intake paperwork, but available across the full visit, including counseling, treatment discussions, and medication education. That reach matters when precision in a DoxyPEP or PrEP conversation is as important as the prescription itself.
Cooper Care Alliance holds prescribing authority for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP under one practice: useful for anyone without a regular provider managing ongoing HIV or bacterial STI prevention, or for patients who want all three options evaluated and issued without splitting care across multiple offices.
Beyond the core bacterial and HIV panel, Cooper Care Alliance tests for hepatitis A, B, and C, and pairs those results with hepatitis A and B vaccination on-site. The same appointment that surfaces a hepatitis status can initiate or advance a vaccine series, closing the gap between detection and protection in a single visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Camden County, the county that includes Mount Ephraim, compare with New Jersey and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#3 of 21 New Jersey counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Camden County | New Jersey | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 631.6 3,330 cases ▲ 64% | 384.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 228.2 1,203 cases ▲ 109% | 109.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 11.2 59 cases ▲ 38% | 8.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 12.7 67 cases ▲ 22% | 10.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 27.5 145 cases ▲ 72% | 16 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Camden County, chlamydia has risen from 627 to 631.6 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 251.6 to 228.2 per 100,000 (9%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 20.1 to 11.2 per 100,000 (44%).

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 Camden County.
Local HIV snapshot
Camden County HIV care continuum (2023)
Camden County recorded 17.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Camden County residents living with HIV, 74% are in care · 67.7% 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 Camden County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Bellmawr-adjacent and built largely around homeowners who have planted deep roots here, Mount Ephraim still sends the majority of its working-age adults into jobs every day. Though an unemployment rate that runs meaningfully above state norms means a real share of households are weighing every discretionary expense. Rent that hovers just under a thousand dollars a month sounds modest until it's stacked against a tight month, which shapes whether someone follows through on a health appointment or lets it slide.
Those pressures land unevenly on young adults in their late teens and twenties, the stretch of life when relationship networks are widest and STI exposure is statistically highest, who may be juggling part-time hours, irregular schedules, or a first apartment off the Black Horse Pike without much cushion for time or co-pays. Households with higher incomes have real flexibility; those stretched thinner can lean toward the lower-cost or sliding-scale options in the mix. That range matters most for someone living near the Haddon Township border who can reach a clinic along CR 551 on a lunch break rather than a day off.
Getting there
Mount Ephraim scores 12.39/20 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey, a minor can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment at any age, and to HIV testing at age 13 or older; a provider may notify a parent, and must do so where sexual assault is involved.
New Jersey 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.
