Herpes and Hepatitis Tested On the Spot
Leaving a clinic without a herpes or hepatitis result means booking a second appointment somewhere else, paying again, and waiting longer to know the full picture. Total Health Care tests for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C at the same visit as the standard bacterial and HIV panel, closing that gap before you walk out.
Spanish-Speaking Care From the First Question
For someone navigating STI care without a regular provider and managing costs on a sliding-scale fee, being able to discuss symptoms, test results, and treatment options directly in Spanish, not through a workaround, changes what that appointment actually delivers. Total Health Care in Odenton carries Spanish-language care as a standing clinical capability.

Anne Arundel County Department of Health in Glen Burnie takes walk-ins for rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis C, syphilis, and TB. No appointment needed. Gonorrhea and chlamydia treatment can be handled same visit, and every service is free.

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price Tag
An unresolved billing question, a co-pay that doesn't get paid, a follow-up visit that never happens. Gaps in STI care often open at the point of cost. At Anne Arundel County Department of Health, the HIV test, the hepatitis C test, the mpox vaccine, PrEP, and every other service on the list all carry no charge, so the care that starts here doesn't stall over money.
Spanish-Language Care Without a Workaround
Many clinics handle Spanish through a remote line that sits between the patient and the provider, which works, until the nuance matters. Anne Arundel County Department of Health delivers STI and HIV care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about risk, prevention, and next steps happens between people in the same room.
PrEP and PEP Available as Ongoing Clinical Services
Tenofovir-based PrEP requires periodic HIV testing and kidney-function monitoring to stay safely on regimen: Anne Arundel County Department of Health manages both, keeping the prescription and the monitoring in the same place. PEP is also available, meaning the department handles the full spectrum of HIV pharmaceutical prevention rather than a single entry point.
Chase Brexton Health Care in Glen Burnie covers its full panel (HIV (rapid and conventional), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) at no fee, with sliding-scale rates and Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted. Appointments are required; same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs.

Zero Cost Across Every Service Offered
Chase Brexton carries no-fee access across its entire service menu: testing, PrEP, DoxyPEP, PEP, and ongoing HIV and hepatitis C treatment included. For anyone managing care without insurance or paying cash, that means PrEP refills and hepatitis C treatment don't sit behind a separate billing conversation.
Spanish-Language Care for the Whole Visit
Chase Brexton delivers services in Spanish directly, not as an accommodation layered onto an English-first visit. For someone whose primary care, prescriptions, and follow-up all happen in Spanish, that continuity matters when navigating PrEP dosing schedules or hepatitis C treatment timelines.
Ryan White Funding Anchors HIV Care Here
Ryan White program funding means Chase Brexton can carry a patient from a first reactive HIV test into sustained medical treatment under the same roof, no handoff required. The program underwrites ongoing HIV/AIDS medical care, so continuity of treatment isn't contingent on insurance status changing between visits.

Zero Fee Applies to Every Service Listed
The no-fee structure at Howard County Health Department isn't limited to HIV testing: it covers the full panel, TB testing and treatment, family planning, and vaccines including HPV and hepatitis A and B. Sliding scale is the policy; zero is consistently where it lands.
Eight Languages Staffed, Not Contracted Out
Howard County Health Department maintains direct-service capacity in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. Eight languages handled by staff or on-site interpreters, not routed through an outside service. That means clinical conversations, not transcribed exchanges.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
When prevention requires medication, whether ongoing PrEP or post-exposure PEP, a gap between the conversation and the prescription is where coverage breaks down. Howard County Health Department prescribes and manages both here, so neither requires a separate provider visit to initiate or continue.

South Baltimore Health Center in Brooklyn earns its federally qualified designation by tying fees to income, no one is turned away for inability to pay. Walk-in STI screening covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, making the full standard panel available regardless of what patients can afford.
Caring Hands Medical Clinic in Laurel covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV by appointment, treating bacterial infections the same visit and billing Medicaid or insurance, with a direct fee for those paying out of pocket.

Emtricitabine-Tenofovir on an Ongoing Prescription Here
Caring Hands carries both PrEP, daily oral emtricitabine/tenofovir, and PEP within its standard clinical offering. Maintaining a PrEP prescription requires regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and that follow-up care runs through the same clinic rather than being split across separate providers.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing for People Without a Regular Provider
Anyone managing their sexual health without a primary-care relationship often finds herpes and hepatitis B and C testing unavailable at narrower clinics. Caring Hands extends its panel to all three, meaning a single appointment can establish a complete baseline. Including infections that standard four-test panels routinely leave unconfirmed.

Petro Health in Catonsville tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, and more on a sliding-scale fee, with insurance and Medicaid accepted; appointments are required, and same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections. French-language care is available throughout.
Read full overviewShow less
French-Language Care, Start to Finish
When a visit depends on understanding a diagnosis, or explaining symptoms precisely, miscommunication between a provider and a French-speaking patient can mean delayed treatment, missed follow-up, or a prescription misunderstood. At Petro Health, clinical care is conducted in French, so nothing critical gets lost between the appointment and the outcome.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
Petro Health prescribes and manages all three current HIV and bacterial STI prevention regimens: daily oral PrEP with the lab monitoring that keeps it active, PEP for post-exposure HIV prevention, and DoxyPEP: doxycycline taken after a sexual exposure to reduce the risk of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Each requires ongoing clinical oversight, which the clinic provides directly.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at Petro Health
Hepatitis C left untreated causes progressive liver damage, and every week between a positive result and a treatment prescription is a week the virus continues that work. At Petro Health in Catonsville, the gap closes on-site: antiviral treatment is managed here, so a confirmed hepatitis C diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan without a separate specialist referral.

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.

Among Anne Arundel County residents living with HIV, 78.5% are in care · 69.6% are virally suppressed.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Anne Arundel County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in MarylandMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Maryland, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
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.
