Amoskeag Health in Manchester is a community health center where STI care (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C) runs on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; appointments are required, and Title X covers confidential services for minors.
Amoskeag Health holds Title X designation, which means family planning services for minors are legally confidential (not dependent on clinic policy, but on federal statute) so a young person can seek testing or contraception without a parent's involvement triggering any disclosure.
When a hepatitis C antibody test comes back reactive and a confirmatory RNA test establishes active infection, Amoskeag Health's clinical staff prescribe direct-acting antivirals and monitor viral-load response through the full treatment course: the prescribing, follow-up labs, and clearance confirmation all happen within the same practice.
Substance-use treatment is available at Amoskeag Health alongside STI care, which means a provider can address both concerns in a coordinated way during the same relationship with the clinic rather than issuing a separate referral chain.

Catholic Medical Center in Manchester requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead is the move, but that single visit covers the full standard panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, and sliding-scale fees apply across the board. HPV and hepatitis vaccines are on-site.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis A, B, or C undetected means carrying an untreated infection while waiting on a separate appointment elsewhere, and paying twice for the privilege. Catholic Medical Center runs all of those tests in the same visit as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, closing that gap in one scheduled appointment.
Catholic Medical Center prescribes both PrEP, the daily oral regimen that keeps HIV from taking hold, and PEP for post-exposure use, managing both in-house rather than sending patients elsewhere for HIV prevention. Ongoing medication adherence counseling is built into the care, supporting the consistent dosing that makes either regimen effective.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hillsborough, the county that includes New Boston, compare with New Hampshire and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 10 New Hampshire counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Hillsborough | New Hampshire | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 277.5 1,186 cases ▲ 41% | 196.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 71.8 307 cases ▲ 71% | 41.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.2 18 cases ▲ 8% | 3.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.7 16 cases ▲ 95% | 1.9 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 6.3 27 cases ▲ 57% | 4 | 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 Hillsborough, chlamydia has risen from 267.7 to 277.5 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 57.7 to 71.8 per 100,000 (24%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.7 to 4.2 per 100,000 (11%).
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 Hillsborough.
Local HIV snapshot
Hillsborough HIV care continuum (2023)
Hillsborough recorded 4.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 2.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hillsborough residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 72.6% 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 Hillsborough tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pinball Hill Road on a winter evening gives you a clear sense of how New Boston is built, spread out, residential, unhurried, the kind of town where nearly everyone has put down roots rather than passing through. That deep ownership culture says something real about who lives here: established households, many of them families with children, most adults partnered and settled into a routine shaped around work and home rather than transit or town-center convenience. That stability is a quiet asset, but it also means the younger adults moving through their late teens and twenties, the years when STI exposure is statistically highest, are somewhat outnumbered and sometimes overlooked in how local health access gets shaped. With nearly three in five households clearing six figures and unemployment extraordinarily low, financial pressure isn't the dominant story here; it's schedule and distance.
The clinics listed on this page exist precisely to compress that distance problem. Some offer hours outside the standard workday, which matters in a place where most people are working, not waiting. For younger residents still building their lives near Meetinghouse Hill, knowing which option requires the shortest drive is the most useful thing this page can offer.
Getting there
At 7.3/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in New Boston generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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