Fees & payment
Virginia Department of Health in Charlotte Court House offers its full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes) along with TB testing, at no charge; Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are also accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections are treated the same visit.
The no-fee structure covers the entire visit (testing, treatment, vaccines, and prevention medications) which means the cost of a follow-up appointment or a PrEP refill stays identical to the first visit: nothing.
For someone without a primary care provider or who pays cash for medications, the clinic holds standing capacity to prescribe PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP, and DoxyPEP for bacterial STI prevention. No separate specialist referral needed to start or maintain any of them.
The clinic runs herpes testing as part of its regular panel alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia: meaning a single appointment draws the specimen, processes it through the department's lab workflow, and returns a result without scheduling a second visit for that infection specifically.

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 Appomattox County, chlamydia has fallen from 496.3 to 338 per 100,000 (32%), gonorrhea has fallen from 217.1 to 88.9 per 100,000 (59%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 11.9 to 11.9 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 Appomattox County.
Local HIV snapshot

Among Appomattox County residents living with HIV, 90.5% are in care · 76.2% 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 Appomattox County tests for syphilis.

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