Grand View Infectious Diseases Associates

No ratings yet

Grand View Infectious Diseases Associates in Sellersville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and TB, treating bacterial STIs at the same visit when results warrant. Fees are charged on a sliding scale; Medicaid and private insurance are accepted. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

PrEP Prescribing Anchored in Infectious Disease Expertise

Grand View prescribes Truvada- and Descovy-class PrEP alongside PEP, monitoring both within the same infectious disease practice that manages HIV treatment. That continuity means lab work, prescription renewals, and dose adjustments stay with clinicians who track resistant strains and drug interactions as their primary discipline.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Full Antiviral Treatment Here

For anyone without a regular provider who needs more than a positive antibody result, Grand View carries hepatitis C care through to direct-acting antiviral treatment. No separate specialist required. The infectious disease setting means the clinicians ordering the RNA confirmatory test are the same ones writing the cure-course prescription.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Four

Anyone piecing together a complete picture of their sexual health, particularly those managing multiple partners or navigating a new relationship, benefits from a panel that adds herpes simplex, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C to the gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV baseline. Grand View's panel covers all seven in a single appointment.

Novus Medical Services in Doylestown tests for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes on a sliding-scale fee, with free testing available, and treats bacterial STIs the same visit. Appointments are required.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price

Novus Medical Services lists no-fee coverage across its entire service menu: testing, STI treatment, HIV/AIDS medical care, hepatitis C treatment, and PrEP for the uninsured included. That single pricing structure means nothing is carved out as a paid add-on once you're through the door.

Spanish-Language Care Shapes the Clinical Conversation

Novus Medical Services delivers care directly in Spanish, which means medication adherence counseling, HIV test counseling, and prevention education all happen in the same language the conversation starts in. Without a handoff to a separate service.

Prevention Prescribing Goes Beyond the Test

Many testing sites stop at the result and point elsewhere for prevention medication. Novus Medical Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, keeping the clinical relationship intact rather than splitting it across providers.

Rated 2.9 out of 5 from 10 reviews

Bucks County Health Department, Doylestown's public health department clinic, backs STI care with the county's full infrastructure (rapid and conventional HIV testing, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C, and TB, on a sliding scale, by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs) all at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Test, Every Visit, Zero Cost

A cost barrier at a testing clinic doesn't stay abstract, it becomes a skipped follow-up, a deferred treatment, a gap that widens. Bucks County Health Department charges nothing for HIV, STI, or TB testing, and that zero-cost structure holds across the full visit, not just the initial screen.

Spanish Care Delivered Directly, Not Patched Together

Many clinics leave Spanish-speaking patients navigating clinical language through improvised workarounds that flatten nuance at exactly the wrong moment. Bucks County Health Department delivers care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about symptoms, history, and treatment happens without that gap in the room.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Leaving hepatitis B or C undetected while treating a bacterial STI means a second appointment, a second system, and a second chance for something to fall through. Bucks County Health Department includes hepatitis B and C testing in the same visit, and provides on-site treatment for hepatitis C, so nothing gets deferred to a separate encounter.

Eastern Pennsylvania Infectious Disease Associates

Eastern Pennsylvania Infectious Disease Associates in Royersford accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with fees charged on a standard basis. The clinic runs a full STI panel (HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB) by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Read full overview

PrEP and PEP Managed Where the Specialists Are

Eastern Pennsylvania Infectious Disease Associates prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP for HIV prevention, which means ongoing monitoring, lab work, and medication adjustments stay with the same clinical team rather than bouncing between providers. Continuity like that keeps prevention on track.

An infectious disease practice carries the standing capability to test for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the core bacterial panel, a depth that suits anyone without a regular primary care provider who needs one appointment to cover the full picture. Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis are treated the same day if results confirm bacterial infection.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Bucks County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Perkasie, PA

Perkasie wears its stability comfortably: most households here own their homes, and the majority of adults are married, sharing that 3-person-plus household with kids, partners, or both. That domestic groundedness is real. But it also means that for the roughly three-in-ten residents who rent, a $1,000-plus monthly payment leaves little room for healthcare that feels discretionary, and even for homeowners, a workforce participation rate pushing near three-quarters means most adults are simply busy during the hours a clinic might be open. Getting tested here requires a car and a plan.

That matters most for people in their late teens and twenties, who account for a meaningful slice of Perkasie's population and who, nationally, face the steepest rates of new STI diagnoses. This is also the group most likely to defer a test when getting one takes coordination. The options listed on this page vary by cost, hours, and distance, and that range exists precisely because no single schedule or price point works for everyone. Bucks County's STI landscape makes routine screening worth keeping current, and the right clinic is the one that fits between the covered bridge commute and pickup at Lenape Park.

Confidentiality & consent in Pennsylvania Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

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

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
