Heart of Ohio Family Health in Whitehall runs on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts Medicaid and most insurance, covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. With same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and appointments required. Staff communicate directly in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
Heart of Ohio Family Health carries clinical staff fluency across eight languages: American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. That means medical history, dosing instructions, and follow-up plans are conveyed directly by the clinician, without a lag between question and answer.
Without on-site PrEP and PEP prescribing, the gap between deciding to start prevention and actually holding a prescription can stretch into days or weeks of additional appointments. Heart of Ohio Family Health closes that gap: both medications are initiated and managed in the same practice where testing and counseling occur, and uninsured patients have a dedicated PrEP access pathway.
Heart of Ohio Family Health prescribes and monitors direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C within the practice, not just the antibody and RNA confirmation tests, but the full treatment course. Clinicians track viral load response and manage the regimen through to sustained virologic response, keeping the entire arc of care at one address in Whitehall.

Southeast Healthcare in Columbus tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections. All backed by on-site interpretation so nothing gets lost between language and care.
Identifying a hepatitis C infection without the means to treat it leaves a patient holding a result and little else. Southeast Healthcare closes that gap entirely, antiviral treatment is managed in the same building where the diagnosis is made, so a positive hepatitis C result moves directly into a care plan rather than a waiting list somewhere else.
Southeast Healthcare in Columbus prescribes and monitors all three prevention medications: daily oral PrEP with the required HIV and kidney-function labs built into ongoing appointments, PEP when the clinical picture calls for it, and DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline protocol targeting bacterial STIs, for patients whose risk pattern makes it appropriate.
When a clinic lacks language support, the real cost is clinical: symptoms go under-described, treatment instructions get misunderstood, and follow-up appointments don't happen. Southeast Healthcare provides interpretation services for non-English languages so that every step of an STI visit (intake, test counseling, diagnosis, and treatment) runs in the language that makes the information stick.

PrimaryOne Health 3480 Refugee Road, Columbus, earns its federally qualified designation by anchoring STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) to a sliding-scale fee structure that adjusts costs based on household income, making walk-in testing a realistic option for patients across a wide economic range.

OhioHealth in Bexley brings STI care through an established health system, covering the standard panel with sliding-scale fees, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, and prevention tools including PrEP and PEP. Appointment required.
OhioHealth prescribes PrEP, typically tenofovir/emtricitabine, and manages PEP through its clinical infrastructure, meaning prescriptions, lab follow-ups, and adherence counseling stay within the same system rather than fragmenting across providers. Continuity of care is built into how prevention is delivered here.
For anyone without a regular primary care provider, or anyone paying out of pocket who wants to know more than the basics, OhioHealth's panel extends to herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. That breadth means a single appointment can answer questions that a narrower panel would leave open.

PrimaryOne Health in Columbus tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, HIV, and TB, treating bacterial STIs the same visit, with fees on a sliding scale accepted alongside Medicaid and insurance, by appointment, with care delivered in Spanish.
When a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prevention conversation has to pass through a second person to be understood, the result is delayed decisions and gaps in follow-through. At PrimaryOne Health, clinical care in Spanish is delivered directly, no relay, so the conversation between patient and provider stays intact and treatment happens on the same visit it should.
PrEP at PrimaryOne Health means a provider who prescribes Truvada or Descovy, orders the required baseline HIV and kidney-function labs, and schedules the follow-up visits every three months to recheck labs and renew the prescription. The full clinical cycle managed inside one practice, not handed off.
PrimaryOne Health carries hepatitis C care through to treatment, not just the antibody and RNA confirmatory testing, but the direct-acting antivirals that clear the infection. For someone without a gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist, that standing capability means the path from a confirmed result to a prescription stays inside one Columbus clinic.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Franklin County, the county that includes Reynoldsburg, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#2 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Franklin County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 756.4 10,030 cases ▲ 64% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 320.5 4,250 cases ▲ 91% | 168 | 179.5 |

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 Franklin County, chlamydia has risen from 688.8 to 756.4 per 100,000 (10%), gonorrhea has fallen from 372.3 to 320.5 per 100,000 (14%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 23.6 to 43.9 per 100,000 (86%).

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 Franklin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Franklin County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Franklin County HIV care continuum (2023)
Franklin County recorded 18.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Franklin County residents living with HIV, 85.6% know their status · 80.9% are in care · 72.1% 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 Franklin County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
East Main Street bisects Reynoldsburg in a way that quietly organizes daily life, and the households anchored along it and through neighborhoods like Rose Hill Heights and Chevington Woods North reflect a city where most residents own their homes and most adults are in the workforce. That ownership majority and the larger-than-average household size point to a community where health decisions rarely happen in isolation; partners and family members tend to be part of the picture, which makes screening a shared consideration rather than a solo errand. With nearly three in ten households clearing six figures but a meaningful share earning considerably less, and typical rents sitting just above a thousand dollars a month, cost is a real calculation for many residents.
Young adults in their late teens and twenties, a solid slice of Reynoldsburg's population, are exactly the group for whom an affordable, nearby option matters most, because it's that period of forming new relationships when routine STI screening does the most preventive work. Franklin County's STI figures carry their own weight here. Chlamydia and gonorrhea rates in the county run high enough that staying current on testing isn't a precautionary formality for Reynoldsburg residents; it's a straightforward response to the epidemiological reality of the place where they actually live.

Two things that actually depend on Ohio 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 Ohio, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Ohio 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.
