North Star Health in Charlestown tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with walk-ins welcome and same-visit treatment available for bacterial STIs.
A hepatitis C diagnosis without a treatment path attached to it means weeks of follow-up calls, specialist wait lists, and a condition that keeps advancing in the meantime. North Star Health closes that gap, treatment is managed on-site in Charlestown, so the clinical relationship that caught the infection is the same one that treats it.
Most testing sites cover gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and leave herpes and hepatitis off the panel entirely. North Star Health tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and tuberculosis alongside the core four. Infections that carry real consequences when they go undetected simply because no one offered the test.

Planned Parenthood of Northern New England in White River Junction requires an appointment and covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and interpretation services available across languages.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England carries interpretation services for non-English languages as a standing clinical capability, not a separate arrangement to negotiate before you arrive. For anyone navigating STI testing, PrEP counseling, or treatment in a language other than English, that continuity means medical detail moves without loss across every step of the visit.
Without Title X status, a minor seeking STI care can face a chain of redirects. One provider for testing, another for treatment, billing that surfaces on a parent's insurance. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England's Title X designation consolidates that into one appointment, and its legally confidential services for minors mean the visit stays private by law, not just policy.
Planned Parenthood of Northern New England prescribes both PrEP, daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis requiring periodic HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and PEP, the post-exposure course initiated after potential HIV contact. Holding both under one prescribing relationship means follow-up labs and medication continuity stay with the same clinical team.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Sullivan County, the county that includes Newport, compare with New Hampshire and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#7 of 10 New Hampshire counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 30% of the state
| Infection | Sullivan County | New Hampshire | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 141 62 cases ▼ 28% | 196.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 13.6 6 cases ▼ 68% | 41.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.3 1 cases ▼ 41% | 3.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.5 2 cases ▲ 137% | 1.9 | 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 Sullivan County, chlamydia has risen from 127.7 to 141 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has risen from 7 to 13.6 per 100,000 (94%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.3 to 2.3 per 100,000.
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 Sullivan County.
Local HIV snapshot
Sullivan County HIV care continuum (2023)
Sullivan County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 2.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Sullivan County residents living with HIV, 93.8% are in care · 90.6% 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 Sullivan County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Along North Main Street, the particulars of early adult life have a way of arriving all at once: the first lease signed, the coverage gap between a parent's plan and a new employer's, the relationship still figuring out what it is. The majority of residents here own their homes and have settled into longer-term households, but a third rent, and at rents that leave little room for out-of-pocket medical costs. For younger adults navigating that budget reality, a clinic visit that carries even a modest fee can get quietly shelved: especially when labor-force participation is well below national averages, meaning irregular schedules and part-time hours are common enough to complicate a weekday appointment.
The county STI picture makes that planning worth doing: Sullivan County's numbers reflect what happens when screening is inconvenient enough that people skip it. With nearly three in ten Newport households averaging close to three people, sexual health is rarely just a solo concern. Routine screening along the Newport Common end of town or up toward Calls Hill keeps the whole picture cleaner, for you and whoever shares your home.
Getting there
At 5.1/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Newport 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.
