O'connor Medical Urgent Care in Port Jervis takes walk-ins for STI testing, no scheduled appointment needed, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, fees billed to insurance or Medicaid, and care available in Spanish.
Many urgent-care settings handle Spanish through workarounds that keep a layer of distance between the patient and the provider. At O'Connor Medical in Port Jervis, Spanish-language care is delivered directly. The clinical conversation, not a mediated version of it.
PrEP requires an initial negative HIV test, a kidney-function baseline, and ongoing monitoring. O'Connor Medical handles that sequence in-house. PEP is also prescribed on-site, meaning the medication and the clinical oversight stay in the same place rather than splitting across providers.
Someone without a regular primary-care provider, or paying out of pocket, benefits from a clinic whose panel reaches beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. O'Connor Medical in Port Jervis also tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C, so a single walk-in visit can address the full range rather than leaving gaps that require a separate appointment elsewhere.

Cornerstone Family Healthcare in Port Jervis tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone: Medicaid, Medicare, insurance, and cash all accepted, with HIV testing free and walk-ins welcome alongside same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Whether you carry insurance, Medicaid, or nothing at all, Cornerstone structures its fees so that no one leaves with an outstanding bill: HIV testing is free outright, and the sliding scale covers the rest. For anyone without a regular provider or paying entirely out of pocket, that standing policy removes a real barrier to returning care.
Cornerstone prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, no outside specialist required. PrEP requires ongoing HIV testing and kidney-function monitoring, all handled within the practice; PEP is initiated and followed through the same clinical team, so the medication course and follow-up labs stay coordinated in one chart.

Atlantic Health System in Sussex brings hospital-system infrastructure to STI care: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a fee-based sliding scale, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. PrEP and PEP are available for prevention.
Atlantic Health System prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, and carries a dedicated assistance program covering PrEP costs for uninsured patients. Meaning prevention doesn't stall at the prescription stage.
Many clinics identify a hepatitis C infection and send patients elsewhere to manage it. Atlantic Health System in Sussex treats hepatitis C on-site, keeping the care continuous from the first positive result through the full treatment course.
Skip hepatitis testing at intake and a positive result later means a separate visit, a separate bill, and a gap during which infection progresses untreated. Atlantic Health System's panel covers hepatitis B and C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Closing that gap in a single appointment.

STD stats & rates

An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#57 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 15% of the state

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 Pike County, chlamydia has fallen from 131.5 to 117.6 per 100,000 (11%), gonorrhea has fallen from 27.3 to 16.3 per 100,000 (40%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.7 to 3.3 per 100,000 (94%).

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 Pike County.
Local HIV snapshot
Pike County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pike County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Pike County residents living with HIV, 75.4% are in care · 70% 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 Pike County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Norman Hills sits at the quieter end of a community where most households have put down lasting roots, mortgages signed, yards claimed, lives built around the same address for years. That settled character shapes everything, including how younger adults here navigate health decisions. When more than half of all households clear six figures and nearly two-thirds of residents are actively working, financial pressure isn't the obvious obstacle, but time is. A household averaging more than three people, with well over half of couples married and managing shared schedules, means that routine appointments compete with real, layered obligations. For people in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates climb steeply regardless of zip code, that competition matters most.
Relationships form, partners change, and regular screening is simply part of staying well. Pike County's STI picture reinforces that this isn't a distant concern. What makes Pocono Woodland Lakes genuinely distinct is the driving reality. US 6, the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, is the artery that connects residents to that clinic, and knowing it's there changes the calculation: a route already traveled for groceries or errands becomes the same route for a test that keeps the whole household healthier.
Getting there
At 7.89/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Pocono Woodland Lakes 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 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.
