Loudoun Free Clinic in Leesburg runs on a no-fee model, every test, every treatment, every vaccine costs nothing, with donations accepted for those who choose to give. Appointments are required; gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis can be treated the same visit they're diagnosed.
When cost sits between a person and a diagnosis, infections go untreated and follow-up care gets skipped. At Loudoun Free Clinic, no service carries a charge: not the rapid HIV test, not the hepatitis panel, not the HPV or hepatitis A and B vaccines. Donations are welcome, but nothing is contingent on them.
Many STI clinics screen for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, then stop. Loudoun Free Clinic extends that panel to include hepatitis B and hepatitis C testing, infections that share transmission routes with other STIs but routinely get left off the checklist elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Loudoun County, the county that includes Purcellville, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#101 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 24% of the state
| Infection | Loudoun County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 206.3 900 cases ▼ 56% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 43.8 191 cases ▼ 72% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3 13 cases ▼ 72% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.3 10 cases ▼ 76% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 6.2 27 cases ▼ 61% | 15.8 | 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 Loudoun County, chlamydia has fallen from 210.2 to 206.3 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has risen from 24.9 to 43.8 per 100,000 (76%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.6 to 3 per 100,000 (15%).
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 Loudoun County.
Local HIV snapshot
Loudoun County HIV care continuum (2023)
Loudoun County recorded 4.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Loudoun County residents living with HIV, 73.6% are in care · 66.9% 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 Loudoun County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
West Main Street through Purcellville moves past the kind of established, owner-occupied homes that define this corner of Loudoun County, and the financial profile of most households here reflects that rootedness. With nearly seven in ten households earning six figures or more and four out of five residents owning their homes, the town carries a settled, family-oriented character: large average households, a strong majority of married adults, and a labor-force participation rate that suggests most people are managing full schedules on top of family life. That last point matters for anyone in their late teens and twenties, a group that turns over faster than the homeowning majority and whose years of forming new relationships coincide with the period when STI transmission peaks.
A high employment rate is good for the community, but it also means that a mid-day appointment across the county can quietly disappear under work and commute commitments. Hirst Farm and the neighborhoods feeding onto VA 7 toward Leesburg sit close enough to the corridor that a clinic visit can fold into an existing errand run rather than standing as its own trip out of Purcellville.
Getting there
At 7.19/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Purcellville generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
