Tests offered
Fees & payment
Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health in Williamston tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A and B, and HIV, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee structure, and by appointment.
The panel here extends to herpes and both hepatitis A and B, meaning two infections that frequently go undetected alongside the standard bacterial and HIV work are resolved in a single appointment rather than requiring separate referrals. That scope matters for anyone who wants a genuinely complete picture in one visit.
Spanish-language capacity at Martin-Tyrrell-Washington is built into clinical services directly: counseling, prevention education, and STI care are delivered in Spanish by staff, not routed through a secondary communication channel. That operational fact means clinical nuance and prevention detail reach patients in full, not in summary.
The no-fee structure at Martin-Tyrrell-Washington District Health applies across the entire scope of services (testing, STI treatment, HPV and hepatitis vaccines) with sliding-scale fees available and free HIV and STI testing offered regardless of insurance status, so the full clinical offering is available without any financial gatekeeping.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Martin County, the county that includes Robersonville, compare with North Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#28 of 100 North Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 72% of the state
| Infection | Martin County | North Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 690.1 148 cases ▲ 14% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 312.4 67 cases ▲ 28% | 243.2 | 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 Martin County, chlamydia has fallen from 812.5 to 690.1 per 100,000 (15%), gonorrhea has fallen from 385.8 to 312.4 per 100,000 (19%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 18.2 to 28 per 100,000 (54%).

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 Martin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Martin County HIV care continuum (2022)
Martin County recorded 32.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Martin County residents living with HIV, 82% are in care · 75.4% 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 Martin County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Robersonville's economy turns on agriculture, small manufacturing, and the kind of steady work that shapes the rhythm of seasons and weeks. That steadiness extends to healthcare: clinics and providers across Martin County and into neighboring areas keep testing accessible without the wait times or expense that burden larger towns. Young adults here (whether they're establishing themselves in local trades, working shifts at regional facilities, or managing early family years) have straightforward access to confidential STI screening listed on this page, with no need to travel far or spend beyond what a modest budget allows. The testing sites available in and around Robersonville understand that discretion matters, especially in a place where most people know the landscape and the people in it.
A screening visit stays confidential; results don't circulate. That separation between the clinical encounter and daily life is something the providers here take seriously, recognizing that young adults managing work, relationships, and their own health need to know their status without visibility or complication. Routine screening (whether before a new relationship, after a potential exposure, or simply as part of staying informed) fits into the practical, no-nonsense character of life here. Testing is neither a dramatic event nor a barrier; it's a straightforward step available through the clinics and health services already woven into the county's fabric.

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