Inova in Dumfries covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis C, and TB testing on a sliding-scale fee, with free HIV testing and a free mpox vaccine, accepting Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; bacterial STIs treated same visit, by appointment.
Plenty of clinics publish a sliding scale and still send certain patients home with a balance. At Inova in Dumfries, every service (testing, treatment, vaccines, prevention counseling) is provided at no fee, full stop.
Inova in Dumfries prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient building a long-term HIV prevention plan doesn't need a separate provider to maintain it. The prescription and the follow-up stay in the same place.
A hepatitis C diagnosis that sends you elsewhere for treatment can stretch into months of scheduling, specialist waitlists, and lapsed care. Time the virus doesn't waste. Inova in Dumfries carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, so the gap between diagnosis and cleared infection is measured in appointments, not referrals.

Virginia Department of Health in Stafford runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, by appointment, with STI treatment and DoxyPEP on-site, and services delivered in Spanish.
The panel at Virginia Department of Health Stafford includes both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV tests, six infections total, plus TB. Catching hepatitis B status alongside hepatitis C changes the clinical picture meaningfully, particularly when hepatitis B vaccination is also available on-site to close gaps.
Virginia Department of Health Stafford holds DoxyPEP, doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis, as a standing prescribing capability, not a referral service. For anyone without a primary care provider to navigate, that means the prescription, the counseling, and the visit are handled in one appointment rather than split across separate systems.
Spanish is a direct service language at Virginia Department of Health Stafford: clinical conversations, counseling, and prevention education conducted in Spanish rather than routed through an add-on service. For Spanish-speaking patients, that means every part of the appointment, from exposure history to treatment instructions, carries full linguistic precision.

NOVA Patient Care in Lake Ridge accepts Medicaid and private insurance, with a fee schedule for those paying directly, and covers the full bacterial and viral panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and Spanish-language care throughout.
NOVA Patient Care conducts care in Spanish: not just intake, but counseling, medication instructions, and follow-up conversations. For someone managing PrEP adherence or hepatitis treatment without a regular Spanish-speaking provider elsewhere, that continuity inside a single clinic changes what gets understood and what gets done.
NOVA Patient Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means the follow-up labs and adherence counseling that keep those medications working stay within the same clinical relationship rather than getting handed off.
A hepatitis C diagnosis that sends you to a separate specialist means a second intake, a second wait, and a gap where treatment doesn't happen. NOVA Patient Care treats hepatitis C on-site, the same practice that runs the test also prescribes and manages the cure.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Prince William County, the county that includes Quantico Base, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~64% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#46 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 65% of the state
| Infection | Prince William County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 403.6 1,976 cases ▼ 15% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 125.8 616 cases ▼ 21% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.6 37 cases ▼ 29% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 8.6 42 cases ▼ 9% | 9.5 | 16 |

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 Prince William County, chlamydia has fallen from 417.7 to 403.6 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has risen from 96 to 125.8 per 100,000 (31%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 7.7 to 7.6 per 100,000 (1%).

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 Prince William County.
Local HIV snapshot
Prince William County HIV care continuum (2023)
Prince William County recorded 9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Prince William County residents living with HIV, 71.7% are in care · 65.2% 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 Prince William County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Nearly everyone on Quantico Base rents, and at rents that absorb a real share of a household's monthly budget, which shapes who's thinking about healthcare costs and when. That near-universal renter population also means the base is home to people in transition: arriving, rotating out, building lives here temporarily rather than putting down roots. Alongside that, the unemployment rate is meaningfully elevated, so even households that bring in strong incomes can be one job gap away from reconsidering discretionary spending. For younger adults (the late teens, twenties, and early thirties who make up the large majority of this community) those financial calculations happen precisely during the years when regular STI screening matters most.
Getting to a clinic from Cramers Ridge or Chamberlain Village without a car means navigating roads built around base traffic (SR 619, Richmond Highway) rather than pedestrian access, so distance is a real variable, not an afterthought. The options listed on this page exist partly to solve that: different locations along the US 1 corridor spread the geography, and varied fee structures matter when rent is already the dominant monthly fixed cost. With average household sizes running large and nearly half of adults here partnered, testing rarely involves just one person's decision, which is another reason that accessible, unhurried appointments off Joplin Road or near Cecil W. Garrison Park hold genuine practical value for Quantico families.
Getting there
At 4.33/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Quantico Base 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.
