Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 34 reviews

Heart to Hand in Largo tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes: all at no fee, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted. Appointments are required, bacterial infections treated same visit, and the full panel includes PrEP and ongoing HIV care.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price Tag

Sliding-scale fees still leave a balance for many people, and free testing that stops at the result still leaves treatment costs open. Heart to Hand charges nothing: not for the panel, not for treatment, not for PrEP or HIV care. Every service the clinic offers lands at no cost.

French and Spanish Spoken Throughout Your Care

When clinical Spanish or French isn't available at a clinic, a patient often leaves with instructions they can't fully act on, and Heart to Hand in Largo removes that specific gap. Staff deliver care directly in both languages, so nothing from the test result to the treatment plan gets lost in the middle.

Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care Start to Finish

Heart to Hand holds Ryan White funding, which means HIV care, from the initial rapid test through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, runs through a single, unbroken program. That continuity keeps patients in care rather than navigating separate providers for each stage.

Rated 3.2 out of 5 from 10 reviews

Family and Medical Counseling Service, a community counseling and medical practice in Seat Pleasant, pairs STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and rapid or conventional HIV) with sliding-scale fees, same-visit bacterial treatment, and appointments conducted in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish Is a Full Clinical Language Here

Spanish is a full service language at Family and Medical Counseling Service, not a supplemental accommodation, meaning history-taking, STI counseling, treatment decisions, and follow-up are all conducted directly in Spanish by the care team, without mediation.

Hepatitis C Treatment Stays in This Building

Family and Medical Counseling Service treats hepatitis C on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed treatment plan within the same practice. The clinical relationship that caught the infection is the one that resolves it.

Substance-Use Treatment Is Part of the Clinical Picture

Substance-use treatment is available alongside STI care at Family and Medical Counseling Service, which means conditions that frequently intersect can be addressed by the same practice rather than handed off, keeping the care plan coherent across both.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 from 99 reviews

Greater Baden Medical Services, a community health center in Capitol Heights, brings full-spectrum STI care (the standard bacterial and viral panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and appointments) alongside multilingual staff serving Spanish speakers and other languages.

Read full overview

Spanish and Multilingual Care Staffed Into Every Visit

Greater Baden Medical Services has Spanish-speaking staff integrated into clinical operations, not routed through an external service, so conversations about symptoms, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions happen directly between clinician and patient. Interpretation for other languages is also available on-site.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here

Without an integrated prevention program, a conversation about PrEP or PEP too often ends at a recommendation and a follow-up appointment somewhere else: meaning the prescription, the baseline labs, and the monitoring all belong to a different calendar. Greater Baden Medical Services writes and manages both PrEP and PEP internally, keeping that chain unbroken.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through the Same Clinic

Greater Baden Medical Services treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan without sending patients to a specialist practice. Keeping medication initiation and viral-load monitoring inside the same care relationship.

STDs & HIV in Prince George's County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Prince George's County, the county that includes Summerfield, compare with Maryland and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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 Prince George's County residents living with HIV, 88.4% know their status · 73.4% are in care · 66.5% 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 Prince George's County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Summerfield, MD

Renters make up the clear majority in Summerfield, and that tenure split matters when you're thinking about who's most likely to be navigating STI screening here. Renting at typical monthly rates that strain even moderate budgets means household finances stay tight, and in a community where average households run larger than most suburban Maryland cities, competing demands on time and money are real. Alongside that, a meaningful share of adults are unpartnered, building new relationships, and squarely in the years when STI transmission is most common: the late teens, twenties, and early thirties when people are most sexually active and often least consistent about routine screening. What works in Summerfield's favor is that getting around doesn't require a car and a cleared afternoon. MD 214 and MD 202 cut through neighborhoods like Palmer Park and Yorkshire Knolls with transit access that makes a midday clinic run genuinely feasible, and the options listed on this page reflect a real spread of hours and price points.

With over three in four residents in the labor force and unemployment running above the regional average, schedules aren't always flexible. Clinics accessible along Capital Beltway corridors, reachable between shifts, matter more than they might elsewhere. Prince George's County carries elevated STI rates, and Summerfield's demographics reflect that county-wide picture honestly. Testing here isn't a specialty errand, it fits alongside the practical health decisions residents in Randolph Village or White House Heights already make every week.

Confidentiality & consent in Maryland Minor 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.
