Union Community Care, a community health center in New Holland, brings STI care into a primary-care setting where ongoing management is built into the practice. The standard panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV) is offered on a sliding-scale fee with appointments required, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and care delivered in Spanish.
Many clinics handle language access as an afterthought, something arranged around the visit rather than woven into it. At Union Community Care, Spanish is a language of care itself, meaning history-taking, counseling, and follow-up conversations happen directly, without an intermediary shaping what gets said.
Union Community Care prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means the relationship that starts with a prescription continues through monitoring labs and medication refills. No separate specialist, no broken chain of care.

Spanish American Civic Association in Lancaster runs entirely without fees, every test, every visit, every service costs nothing. By appointment, the clinic delivers rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP on-site.
Sliding-scale clinics still hand you a bill, reduced, but real. Spanish American Civic Association in Lancaster charges nothing: not for testing, not for treatment, not for counseling. Every line item on their menu carries the same price.
When care happens in a second language, details slip. Dosing instructions misread, symptoms miscommunicated, follow-up skipped. At Spanish American Civic Association in Lancaster, services are delivered in Spanish, so nothing critical depends on a patient piecing together meaning across a language gap.
PrEP at Spanish American Civic Association in Lancaster isn't a recommendation to take elsewhere: clinicians prescribe and monitor the medication directly, which means required HIV tests and adherence counseling happen within the same appointment structure that started the prescription.

Penn Medicine in Lancaster tests for HIV, hepatitis B and C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. All at no charge, with sliding-scale fees across the broader service menu. Bacterial STIs are treated the same visit; PrEP and PEP are on hand. An appointment is required.
Plenty of clinics post a sliding scale and leave patients doing arithmetic in the waiting room. At Penn Medicine Lancaster, the full service menu (testing, treatment, vaccines, HIV care) is provided at no charge, so the cost question is settled before anyone walks through the door.
Penn Medicine Lancaster maintains Spanish-language services and broader interpretation access as a standing clinical capability, not an add-on arranged visit to visit. For patients whose primary language isn't English, that means medical history, treatment instructions, and follow-up conversations happen in full, without a gap in comprehension along the way.
Penn Medicine Lancaster prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP internally: meaning the initial evaluation, the prescription itself, and the follow-up labs required to stay on PrEP safely are all handled by the same clinical team, without routing any piece of that process to an outside provider.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Lancaster County, the county that includes New Holland, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#33 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 51% of the state
| Infection | Lancaster County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 226.5 1,265 cases ▼ 46% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 59.4 332 cases ▼ 59% | 144.7 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 6.1 34 cases ▼ 41% | 10.3 | 16 |

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 Lancaster County, chlamydia has fallen from 255.3 to 226.5 per 100,000 (11%), gonorrhea has fallen from 70.3 to 59.4 per 100,000 (16%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 7.8 to 4.3 per 100,000 (45%).

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 Lancaster County.
Local HIV snapshot
Lancaster County HIV care continuum (2023)
Lancaster County recorded 5.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Lancaster County residents living with HIV, 82.3% are in care · 75.4% 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 Lancaster County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
New Holland's rhythms turn on machinery and soil: the Machine Company has anchored this place for generations, and the farms that ring it demand steady hands across seasons. That same reliability shapes how residents approach health. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties here often build lives rooted in the community, and many are starting families or settling into homes they plan to keep. For this population, knowing their STI status is practical self-care, not drama, and the clinics and providers listed on this page offer that screening without ceremony or judgment.
What matters in a town where people stay is that testing happens quietly. The results are yours alone, no notification sent home, no conversation that travels. Providers in and around New Holland understand this. Whether you're stopping by after work or scheduling an appointment that fits between other responsibilities, the testing available here treats your privacy as non-negotiable, not as an afterthought.
A few minutes from Town Clock Memorial Park or along Division Highway, the care you need is within reach. Many residents already know their regular doctor or clinic well enough to ask directly; others prefer to start fresh with a provider they've never met before. Either way, the confidentiality that matters most in a place where roots run deep is built into how these services work.

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