Every Service Runs on Zero Cost
For anyone managing STI care without insurance, without a regular provider, or simply paying out of pocket, La Clinica del Pueblo's standing policy covers every service (testing, treatment, counseling) without a balance owed at any point in care.
Spanish Is the Working Language of Care
For a patient whose primary language is Spanish, La Clinica del Pueblo conducts the full visit (clinical intake, test counseling, treatment discussion) in Spanish natively, not as an accommodation layered onto an English-first system.
Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care End to End
La Clinica del Pueblo's HIV/AIDS medical treatment is structured under Ryan White Program funding, which means the continuum from a rapid HIV test through ongoing HIV medical management operates within a single, federally supported program rather than fragmenting across separate funding streams.

CCI Health Services in Takoma Park requires an appointment and covers the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and rapid or conventional HIV) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines.

ASL and Spanish Spoken at the Clinical Level
When a clinic can't communicate directly, a patient leaves with incomplete instructions, misunderstood results, or a follow-up appointment they won't keep. CCI Health Services closes that gap with on-staff Spanish speakers and American Sign Language, alongside interpretation for other languages, so nothing about a diagnosis or treatment plan gets lost in transmission.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site
CCI Health Services prescribes and manages both PrEP, including Truvada and Descovy, and PEP directly, with coverage extended to uninsured patients through a dedicated PrEP program. Ongoing monitoring, the routine labs that keep a PrEP prescription active, runs through the same clinic rather than a separate provider.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic
Many STI clinics test for hepatitis C and send patients elsewhere for care, a gap that often means delayed or abandoned treatment. CCI Health Services in Takoma Park treats hepatitis C on-site, keeping the full arc of care, from reactive antibody to completed treatment, within one clinical relationship.

Mary's Center in Adelphi tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes on a sliding-scale fee that runs to zero, every service is free for those who qualify, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Read full overviewShow less
Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
All services at Mary's Center are provided at no fee, which means a positive bacterial result doesn't trigger a separate billing conversation before treatment begins. The diagnosis and the prescription land in the same visit.
Spanish-Language Care Is Fully Staffed Here
Spanish-language care at Mary's Center is delivered by staff who conduct intake, counseling, and treatment discussions directly in Spanish: HIV test counseling, medication adherence education, and PrEP management all happen without a language intermediary in the room.
PrEP and PEP Where Most Clinics Only Test
Testing-only sites routinely leave prevention medication to primary care physicians who may not specialize in HIV. Mary's Center prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site, so prevention isn't deferred to a separate provider relationship.
Prince Georges County Health Department in Cheverly runs STI care through the infrastructure of a public health department: meaning the full panel of HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis tests, same-visit bacterial treatment, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines, all at no fee.

Every Service Here Carries No Balance
When cost becomes the reason someone delays care, an untreated bacterial infection becomes a longer-term problem. Prince Georges County Health Department charges nothing (no fee at checkout, no sliding-scale floor) for testing, treatment, and vaccines, removing the financial stop that turns a single visit into months of postponement.
Spanish Care That Goes Beyond the Test
Spanish-speaking patients frequently leave clinics having received results but not the counseling or follow-up that should accompany them, because staff capable of that conversation simply aren't there. At Prince Georges County Health Department, Spanish is a working clinical language across HIV counseling, treatment navigation, and prevention education.
Ryan White Funds Continuous HIV Medical Care Here
Ryan White funding at Prince Georges County Health Department underwrites an unbroken arc from a rapid or conventional HIV test through ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment: prescriptions managed, adherence counseled, and care sustained without the patient needing to source a separate provider to continue what the test started.

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.

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.

College Heights has the feel of a neighborhood that settled in and stayed: block after block of owner-occupied homes, households that have largely planted roots, and an employment picture so stable that the usual economic disruptions of adult life are muted here. That kind of settled financial confidence can quietly lower the sense of personal urgency around routine health maintenance, including sexual health screening, even for the young adults in their late teens and twenties who account for the greatest share of new STI diagnoses anywhere in Prince George's County. What the numbers beneath the surface reveal is a community where over seven in ten households clear six figures and nearly all residents own their homes.
Dual-income married households with children make up a significant share of the fabric here, which often means schedules built around school pickups, long commutes down Baltimore Avenue or East-West Highway, and very little slack in the week. That's the specific access reality worth naming: it's not cost or distance that stands in the way for most University Park residents, it's the compression of a working-parent calendar. Anyone already heading toward Riverdale Park Station for errands has a natural moment to check the listed hours, confirm whether a same-day slot is open, and go.

Confidentiality & consent in MarylandMinor 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.
