La Clinica del Pueblo in Hyattsville tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections when results call for it, on a sliding scale, with all services available at no fee and an appointment required.
For anyone managing STI care without insurance, without a regular provider, or simply paying out of pocket, La Clinica del Pueblo's standing policy covers every service (testing, treatment, counseling) without a balance owed at any point in care.
For a patient whose primary language is Spanish, La Clinica del Pueblo conducts the full visit (clinical intake, test counseling, treatment discussion) in Spanish natively, not as an accommodation layered onto an English-first system.
La Clinica del Pueblo's HIV/AIDS medical treatment is structured under Ryan White Program funding, which means the continuum from a rapid HIV test through ongoing HIV medical management operates within a single, federally supported program rather than fragmenting across separate funding streams.

Prince Georges County Health Department in Cheverly runs STI care through the infrastructure of a public health department: meaning the full panel of HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis tests, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines, all at no fee.
When cost becomes the reason someone delays care, an untreated bacterial infection becomes a longer-term problem. Prince Georges County Health Department charges nothing (no fee at checkout, no sliding-scale floor) for testing, treatment, and vaccines, removing the financial stop that turns a single visit into months of postponement.
Spanish-speaking patients frequently leave clinics having received results but not the counseling or follow-up that should accompany them, because staff capable of that conversation simply aren't there. At Prince Georges County Health Department, Spanish is a working clinical language across HIV counseling, treatment navigation, and prevention education.
Ryan White funding at Prince Georges County Health Department underwrites an unbroken arc from a rapid or conventional HIV test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment: prescriptions managed, adherence counseled, and care sustained without the patient needing to source a separate provider to continue what the test started.

CCI Health Services in Greenbelt requires an appointment and covers HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee; bacterial infections are treated same visit, and HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines are available on-site.
CCI Health Services carries hepatitis C care through to treatment: clinicians prescribe and monitor direct-acting antiviral therapy on-site, rather than handing results to a patient and leaving the therapeutic course to another provider. Sustained virologic response is tracked through follow-up appointments within the same practice.
Without on-site PrEP and PEP access, the gap between needing prevention medication and actually starting it can stretch into weeks. A delay that carries real clinical consequence. CCI Health Services in Greenbelt prescribes both directly, and covers PrEP costs for uninsured patients through a dedicated program.
CCI Health Services operates in American Sign Language, Spanish, and through interpretation services for additional languages: meaning the clinical conversation itself, including medication counseling and test-result review, runs in the same language a patient uses to make medical decisions. That linguistic reach is staffed, not patched in at the front desk.

#3 of 24 Maryland counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state

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 George's County, chlamydia has risen from 721 to 728.7 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has risen from 248.8 to 284.3 per 100,000 (14%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 16.9 to 15.3 per 100,000 (9%).

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 George's County.

Prince George's County HIV care continuum (2023)
Prince George's County recorded 24.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 13.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Prince George's County residents living with HIV, 88.4% know their status · 73.4% are in care · 66.5% 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 George's County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
MD 410 puts most of Riverdale Park within a short drive of the clinics, east toward Riverdale Heights or west past the Riversdale House Museum, the road connects neighborhoods quickly enough that distance rarely has to be the reason someone skips a test. That practical geography matters, because nearly half of residents here rent, and at typical monthly rents that leave little cushion, an unexpected medical bill can feel like the more threatening variable. Knowing which clinics on this page charge on a sliding scale or offer free visits removes that calculation before it starts. Households in Riverdale Park tend to be large, averaging close to four people, and more than three in four working-age adults are in the labor force, which means schedules run full. People in their late teens and twenties, who are statistically most likely to encounter an STI, are often also the ones piecing together jobs, coursework, and shared living arrangements in places like Green Manor or Springbrook Terrace.
For them, low-cost, nearby screening isn't a luxury. It's what makes follow-through realistic when a Tuesday is already spoken for by three other obligations. The options listed on this page reflect that range: walk-in hours, telehealth intake, and fee structures designed around what people actually earn. MD 201 and Baltimore Avenue both funnel directly to several of them, so the geography, at least, is already working in your favor.

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 Maryland 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 Maryland, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Maryland 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.
