Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Assumed Elsewhere

Plenty of STI clinics draw the line at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Herpes and hepatitis require a separate trip or a separate provider. Maine Family Planning in Skowhegan runs rapid and conventional hepatitis C tests, hepatitis B, and herpes alongside the core panel, so a single visit accounts for infections that otherwise fall through the cracks.

PrEP Is Available for Uninsured Patients

Maine Family Planning in Skowhegan prescribes both PrEP and PEP, and carries a specific financial pathway for patients without insurance coverage to access PrEP. Meaning the drug itself, not just the prescription, stays within reach. That program runs alongside the clinic's standard sliding-scale fees for testing and treatment.

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.

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 Somerset County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Smithfield, ME

The hills around Mount Bett and Green Hill give Smithfield a genuinely settled character, most households here are owner-occupied, rooted in place, with family structures larger than the state average. That stability shapes daily life in ways that don't always favor spontaneous health decisions: schedules are built around work, children, and commutes, and with labor-force participation running below two-thirds of adults, some residents are navigating income gaps that make even modest out-of-pocket costs feel like a real obstacle. Somerset County's STI rates are visible elsewhere on this page, and the young adults living in and around Hoxies and Tyler Corner, people in their late teens and twenties still forming relationships and building routines, are the ones for whom timely screening matters most.

The drive is real, and so is the scheduling. That's where cost and coverage become the deciding factor for a specific kind of Smithfield household, the roughly one in eight who rents, often at the lower end of the income spectrum, carrying none of the equity cushion homeownership provides. For those residents, the sliding-scale and no-cost options listed on this page aren't a convenience; at $642 a month in rent, they're often the only realistic entry point.

Confidentiality & consent in Maine

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Maine 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 Maine, 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)

Maine 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.
