Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County operates as Dayton's county health department, where STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and herpes) is offered alongside same-visit bacterial treatment, all on a sliding scale with every test and service provided at no fee.
HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes tests each carry no fee at Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County, and neither does STI treatment, PrEP, or vaccination. The no-cost structure applies to the full scope of care, not to a selected tier of it.
Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County provides care directly in Arabic and Spanish, two languages spoken by substantial Dayton populations. Clinical conversations about testing, treatment, and PrEP happen in the language of the appointment, without a secondary channel.
Without an on-site PrEP prescriber, the path to prevention stretches into weeks of separate appointments and follow-up costs. Public Health Dayton and Montgomery County prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, so the gap between a testing visit and an active prevention regimen closes at the same clinic.

Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, with uninsured PrEP covered through dedicated funding.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Montgomery County, the county that includes Riverside, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 94% of the state
| Infection | Montgomery County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 639.6 3,414 cases ▲ 39% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 280.6 1,498 cases ▲ 67% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16.9 90 cases ▲ 4% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 11.1 59 cases ▲ 21% | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 28.8 154 cases ▲ 80% | 16 | 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 Montgomery County, chlamydia has risen from 612.3 to 639.6 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 416.1 to 280.6 per 100,000 (33%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 17.1 to 16.9 per 100,000 (1%).
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 Montgomery County.
Local HIV snapshot
Montgomery County HIV care continuum (2023)
Montgomery County recorded 16.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Montgomery County residents living with HIV, 82.1% are in care · 73% 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 Montgomery County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Kossuth Colony's grid of modest bungalows and the quiet streets near Rohrers Farm Park give Riverside a grounded, neighborhood-first feel. The kind of place where most households own their homes but a sizable share rents, often at monthly costs that leave little room for unexpected medical bills. That rent reality shapes health decisions in practical ways: when a screening visit feels like it might cost anything unpredictable, it's easier to postpone than schedule. Riverside's workforce is largely employed and active, which sounds reassuring until you map it against the hours clinics tend to operate.
A household averaging nearly three people, with close to half of adults married and many balancing jobs and family obligations, means midweek afternoon appointments are rarely convenient for anyone. Montgomery County's STI patterns make routine screening genuinely useful here, not just in principle. For residents near Huffman Historic District or along Airway Road, several of the clinics on this page sit close enough that testing fits into an ordinary errand run rather than requiring a dedicated trip.
Getting there
Riverside scores 12.19/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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 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.
