Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 196 reviews

Outer Cape Health Services in Provincetown offers free HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing on a sliding-scale fee structure, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, no appointment required, and vaccines for HPV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and mpox.

Read full overview

Free testing, free HIV care, free hepatitis C treatment, free mpox vaccination: each is underwritten through Medicaid acceptance, insurance billing, sliding-scale adjustments, and dedicated funding streams that absorb what those sources don't cover, so no individual service generates an out-of-pocket charge.

Outer Cape Health Services makes interpretation available across its services, which means a patient discussing PrEP adherence, DoxyPEP dosing, or hepatitis C treatment gets the clinical specifics, not a condensed version, in the language they actually use to make decisions.

Prevention prescribing at many clinics tops out at PrEP and PEP; Outer Cape Health Services in Provincetown also prescribes DoxyPEP, the post-exposure antibiotic regimen that reduces bacterial STI risk, giving patients access to all three evidence-based prevention tools from a single provider.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 17 reviews

Health Imperatives in Plymouth runs rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB screening: every test free, on a sliding scale for treatment, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries Zero Cost Here

Health Imperatives eliminates the fee entirely, not just for HIV or hepatitis C tests but across all services. For someone paying out of pocket without a regular provider, that means PrEP, DoxyPEP, STI treatment, and vaccines like mpox and HPV are all reachable without calculating what to skip.

ASL, Haitian Creole, Chinese, and French on Staff

Health Imperatives delivers care directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole: plus Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese through interpretation. For a Deaf patient or someone whose medical reasoning happens in Haitian Creole, the clinical conversation is native, not mediated.

DoxyPEP Alongside PrEP and PEP

Health Imperatives prescribes doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (DoxyPEP), PrEP, and PEP as a coordinated prevention toolkit. DoxyPEP, doxycycline taken after a sexual exposure to reduce bacterial STI risk, is still uncommon in primary-care settings, making its availability here a concrete clinical advantage.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 310 reviews

Harbor Health Services in Plymouth pairs rapid HIV testing with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, all on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance. Appointments are required. Care is delivered in Portuguese and Spanish.

Read full overview

Portuguese and Spanish Spoken at Every Appointment

Harbor Health conducts appointments in Portuguese and Spanish, which means a clinician explains results, treatment, and follow-up in the same language you'll use to ask questions. That fluency shapes what you actually leave knowing.

HIV Care That Doesn't Stop at the Test

Many clinics hand off HIV-positive patients after diagnosis, closing their role at the result. Harbor Health, funded through Ryan White, carries that care forward, from the initial test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment, so the relationship with a provider doesn't reset at the hardest moment.

Substance-Use Treatment Staffed Alongside STI Services

Harbor Health runs substance-use treatment as a staffed clinical program, not a referral to a separate facility, operating alongside STI care. A patient with overlapping needs works within one care team, with treatment plans that can account for both conditions simultaneously.

STDs & HIV in Barnstable County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Barnstable County, the county that includes Provincetown, compare with Massachusetts and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~15% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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 Barnstable County tests for syphilis.

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

Two things that actually depend on Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts, a minor may consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a provider may inform a parent only if they judge the minor's health to be in serious danger.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Massachusetts 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.
