Tuscarawas County Health Department in Dover delivers its full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) on a sliding-scale fee with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted; hepatitis C testing is free outright, and all services are provided at no fee.
Tuscarawas County Health Department charges nothing for any service it provides: testing, treatment, vaccines, PrEP counseling, TB care, and family planning all fall under that same zero-dollar ceiling. That single policy eliminates the line-by-line billing math that otherwise follows a comprehensive health department visit.
Spanish-language capacity at Tuscarawas County Health Department spans the full range of services (STI testing, medication adherence counseling, hepatitis treatment, and PrEP) rather than covering intake alone. Care delivered in one's primary language means clinical nuance, dosing instructions, and follow-up plans land with the same precision they would in English.
Without in-house PrEP prescribing, a gap between testing and prevention often costs weeks and a second appointment elsewhere. Tuscarawas County Health Department manages PrEP and PEP directly alongside its HIV counseling and STI treatment, so prevention and care share the same clinical relationship from the start.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tuscarawas County, the county that includes Strasburg, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#39 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 56% of the state
| Infection | Tuscarawas County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 252.5 232 cases ▼ 45% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 37 34 cases ▼ 78% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.3 3 cases ▼ 80% | 16.3 | 15.8 |

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 Tuscarawas County, chlamydia has fallen from 274.5 to 252.5 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 49.3 to 37 per 100,000 (25%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.1 to 3.3 per 100,000 (200%).

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 Tuscarawas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Tuscarawas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Tuscarawas County residents living with HIV, 88.9% are in care · 83.3% 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 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 Tuscarawas County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 250, North Wooster Avenue threading out of Strasburg toward the county seat, makes the nearest testing option a genuine drive, not a short errand, and that's worth knowing before you schedule. Most households here own their homes, and with more than half of adults married and an average household of nearly three people, Strasburg skews toward settled, family-oriented life. That doesn't make regular STI screening less relevant: it just means the people who do need it, including young adults in their twenties and late teens still navigating new relationships, are working around real schedules and real constraints. A $738 median rent doesn't leave much cushion, and with roughly four in ten adults outside the labor force for any reason, the options listed on this page matter precisely because they vary in hours and cost.
Finding one whose appointment window lines up with an actual workday, rather than requiring time off that isn't available, is the practical obstacle this page helps you solve. Tuscarawas County's STI figures underscore that screening here isn't precautionary theater, it's a reasonable, low-key habit for people at any relationship stage. Most of the adults in Strasburg are in coupled, family households. Testing before adding a partner, during pregnancy, or after a change in circumstances fits cleanly into the rhythms those households already follow.
Getting there
At 6.63/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Strasburg generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
