Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Point Marion, PA. The nearest, Cornerstone Care, is about 4.6 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Cornerstone Care in Greensboro is a community health center where STI care sits alongside primary and family medicine: the same sliding-scale fees apply to everyone, appointments are required, and same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections. Title X family planning here includes legally confidential services for minors.
Cornerstone Care's Title X designation means minors can access family planning and STI services with legal confidentiality, no parental notification required by the clinic. For a younger person without a regular provider or the ability to use a parent's insurance, that standing protection is built into how this clinic operates, not handled case by case.
Chasing a herpes or hepatitis diagnosis across separate appointments means more cost, more time, and a gap in knowing your full status. Cornerstone Care tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial and viral panel, so a single visit produces a complete picture rather than a partial one.

West Virginia University Medicine brings academic medical infrastructure to STI care in Morgantown, covering the full panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and all three hepatitis strains) on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. Ryan White funding anchors HIV care from first test through long-term management.
Ryan White funding at WVU Medicine means someone without a regular HIV provider, or without the means to sustain one, has a single place that handles testing, medical treatment, and ongoing adherence counseling. The program exists precisely for people whose coverage or circumstances would otherwise leave gaps between a diagnosis and consistent care.
WVU Medicine prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, which matters most for someone who lacks a primary care provider to write and monitor a PrEP prescription, or who needs PEP access without hunting for a clinic that handles it. Uninsured patients have a dedicated PrEP pathway so cost doesn't stall the medication.
WVU Medicine treats hepatitis C on-site from diagnosis through cure, which means a reactive antibody test leads directly into a treatment plan rather than to a separate specialist appointment that may take months to land. For patients managing multiple infections, hepatitis B or HIV alongside hep C, all three treatment tracks are available within the same system.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fayette County, the county that includes Point Marion, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#18 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 73% of the state
| Infection | Fayette County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 277.6 344 cases ▼ 34% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 118.6 147 cases ▼ 18% | 144.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.4 3 cases ▼ 77% | 10.3 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 2.4 3 cases ▼ 79% | 11.4 | 29.5 |

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 Fayette County, chlamydia has fallen from 352.5 to 277.6 per 100,000 (21%), gonorrhea has risen from 69.1 to 118.6 per 100,000 (72%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.7 to 4.8 per 100,000 (2%).

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 Fayette County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fayette County HIV care continuum (2021)
Fayette County recorded 4.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fayette County residents living with HIV, 70.7% are in care · 56.1% 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 Fayette 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 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.
