Virginia Department of Health in Waynesboro tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB, treating bacterial STIs at the same appointment on a sliding-scale fee; insurance and Medicaid accepted, and an appointment is required.
The panel here runs to eight pathogens: adding herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB to the core four. That count means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected, with TB treatment available on-site for any confirmed case.
Virginia Department of Health in Waynesboro carries DoxyPEP as a standing service, meaning anyone who needs the medication and lacks a regular prescriber can get it here, without being sent elsewhere. Sliding-scale fees apply, so out-of-pocket cost adjusts to income rather than sitting at a fixed retail price.
American Sign Language access at this clinic is a staffed clinical capability, not a contingency measure. ASL is available for the appointment itself. For other languages, live interpretation services are arranged, so the exchange of exposure history, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling happens directly, in full, rather than through workarounds.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Augusta County, the county that includes Stuarts Draft, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#73 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 45% of the state
| Infection | Augusta County | Virginia | United States |

| Chlamydia | 288.8 226 cases ▼ 39% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 70.3 55 cases ▼ 56% | 158.3 | 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 Augusta County, chlamydia has risen from 259.4 to 288.8 per 100,000 (11%), gonorrhea has fallen from 104.5 to 70.3 per 100,000 (33%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.6 to 10.2 per 100,000 (292%).

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 Augusta County.
Local HIV snapshot
Augusta County HIV care continuum (2023)
Augusta County recorded 7.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Augusta County residents living with HIV, 85.9% are in care · 78.2% 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 Augusta County tests for syphilis.

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