Available testing centers

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

CAMcare Health in Paulsboro pairs gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis testing with same-visit bacterial treatment, and extends its panel to hepatitis A, B, and C alongside conventional HIV testing. All on a sliding-scale fee with an appointment. Care is available in Spanish.
CAMcare conducts care in Spanish, not as a side arrangement but as a direct clinical interaction. That means sexual-health history, test results, and treatment instructions are conveyed without an intermediary reshaping the exchange.
CAMcare's panel runs hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing and links directly to on-site hepatitis A and adult hepatitis B vaccination, so a reactive hepatitis B screen and its follow-up vaccine series are coordinated within the same practice, not split across separate providers.

ChesPenn Health Services in Chester runs on appointments, so the visit is focused from the start: covering rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis A and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding-scale fee schedule with no-cost STI testing available.
The no-fee structure at ChesPenn isn't a discount applied at checkout: it's built into how the clinic is staffed and billed, with Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance all accepted alongside sliding-scale and free STI testing, so every service a patient receives is covered through an actual payment pathway, not waived and absorbed.
ChesPenn provides care in Spanish and through interpretation services for other languages, which means counseling, risk discussions, and treatment instructions all happen in the language a patient uses, and clinical follow-through on PrEP or TB treatment isn't lost to miscommunication.
Without an on-site PrEP prescriber, a patient walks out knowing their HIV status but without the medication that prevents the next exposure: ChesPenn closes that gap by prescribing and managing PrEP directly, alongside PEP, so prevention doesn't stall between a test result and a separate specialist appointment.

ChesPenn Center for Family Health at Eastside in Chester welcomes walk-ins for STI screening, no appointment needed.

Henrietta Johnson Medical Center in Claymont tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and appointments are required. With care available in Spanish.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, Henrietta Johnson runs hepatitis B and hepatitis C antibody tests as part of the standard workup, and hepatitis B vaccination is available on-site. That breadth means a single appointment can establish baseline status across infections rather than requiring separate referrals for viral testing.
As a Title X-funded site, Henrietta Johnson Medical Center is legally required to provide confidential family planning and STI services to minors. Meaning records are not shared with guardians and billing is handled through program funding rather than a household insurance plan.
Spanish-language care at Henrietta Johnson is staffed into the clinical encounter itself: counseling, STI education, and treatment instructions are conducted in Spanish by personnel integrated into the care team, not routed through an on-call service activated after the appointment begins.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Gloucester County, the county that includes Swedesboro, compare with New Jersey 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.
#11 of 21 New Jersey counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 48% of the state
| Infection | Gloucester County | New Jersey | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 329.7 1,017 cases ▼ 14% | 384.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 103.8 320 cases ▼ 5% | 109.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.9 12 cases ▼ 52% | 8.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.9 12 cases ▼ 62% | 10.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 9.1 28 cases ▼ 43% | 16 | 29.5 |

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 Gloucester County, chlamydia has fallen from 331.8 to 329.7 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has risen from 97.3 to 103.8 per 100,000 (7%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 6.9 to 3.9 per 100,000 (43%).

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 Gloucester County.
Local HIV snapshot
Gloucester County HIV care continuum (2023)
Gloucester County recorded 4.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Gloucester County residents living with HIV, 75.2% are in care · 70% 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 Gloucester County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
A trip to the grocery or a weekend walk through Locke Avenue Park happens against the backdrop of a town where many families have lived for decades, where household rosters often span generations, and where people tend to stay put. That stability brings its own rhythm (work, school runs, the familiar routes) but it also means that health decisions, including STI testing, sometimes get pushed aside in the press of daily life. For young adults in Swedesboro who are sexually active, routine screening is as practical as any other health maintenance, yet scheduling it can feel like one more thing to fit in. Testing in and around Swedesboro listed on this page reflects the real geography of how residents move through their days.
Clinics and urgent care centers within reach offer confidential testing without the need to travel far or explain your visit to someone you might run into at the hardware store or the library. The straightforward approach (walk in, get tested, receive results) works for people managing full schedules and households that depend on them. What matters most is that testing happens, and happens quietly. Swedesboro's testing sites understand that confidentiality isn't theater; it's the baseline that lets you move forward with what you know about your health, without ripple effects through a place where people know one another well.
Getting there
At 10.13/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Swedesboro 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey, a minor can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment at any age, and to HIV testing at age 13 or older; a provider may notify a parent, and must do so where sexual assault is involved.
New Jersey 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.
