STD Testing in Upper Arlington, OH: Free, Same-Day & Confidential

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Directly Here

Central Ohio Primary Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly: meaning the ongoing labs, prescription renewals, and monitoring that daily pre-exposure prophylaxis requires are handled within the same practice, not parceled out to a separate provider.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at This Address

Plenty of testing sites confirm a hepatitis C antibody and send patients elsewhere for the antiviral treatment. Central Ohio Primary Care carries the full arc, diagnosis through on-site treatment, so a reactive result doesn't mean starting over with a new provider.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Beyond the Standard Four

A basic STI panel typically stops at HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Central Ohio Primary Care adds herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB to that list, giving a fuller picture of exposure risk in one appointment.

Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Rivers Edge carries both PrEP and PEP, meaning daily oral prevention with medications like tenofovir/emtricitabine is prescribed and followed longitudinally, not handed off elsewhere. Sustained PrEP use requires regular HIV and kidney-function monitoring, all of which stays within the same Columbus practice.

Hepatitis C Screening Alongside the Standard Bacterial Panel

Gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis make up the floor of most STI panels, and that's where many practices stop. Rivers Edge adds hepatitis C antibody testing, so a single appointment covers both bacterial and bloodborne viral infections without splitting the workup across providers.

Spanish-Language Care Runs the Full Clinical Encounter

Wexner Medical Center delivers STI care entirely in Spanish, from initial testing through treatment decisions and medication counseling. For someone managing a chronic condition like hepatitis B or navigating a new PrEP regimen without a regular English-speaking provider, that continuity through every clinical exchange isn't a feature; it's the foundation the care runs on.

Ryan White Funding Covers HIV Care Through Treatment

Wexner Medical Center receives Ryan White funding, which means HIV care doesn't stop at a positive test. It extends through ongoing medical treatment and medication adherence counseling, keeping patients connected to the same clinic rather than navigating a separate system for long-term management.

PrEP and PEP Both Prescribed On-Site

Wexner Medical Center prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning prevention isn't deferred to another appointment or another provider. Patients leave with an active prescription and the clinical relationship to support it over time.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

Plenty of testing sites confirm HIV-negative status and leave prevention at that. Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio writes PrEP prescriptions directly, monitors ongoing eligibility, and handles the follow-up lab work the regimen requires, so prevention stays active rather than aspirational.

Title X Confidentiality Operates by Federal Statute

Title X funding legally mandates confidential family planning services for minors, this isn't a clinic policy that can shift, it's a federal requirement built into every Title X grant. That statutory protection governs consent, records, and billing at Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio in Columbus.

Interpretation Staffed Into the Clinical Workflow

Interpretation at Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio is embedded in the appointment itself, not a separate step patients arrange on their own. Trained interpretation is coordinated as part of scheduling so that counseling, consent, and diagnosis each happen in the language the visit actually requires.

Zero Fees Across Every Service Offered

At AHF Wellness Center - Columbus, the no-charge structure extends across the entire menu — testing, treatment, counseling, PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP — without a means test or a fee tier attached to any of them. That flat structure means the cost of prevention and the cost of care are the same number.

DoxyPEP Prescribed Alongside PrEP and PEP

Many prevention programs stock PrEP and stop there, leaving DoxyPEP — the post-exposure doxycycline protocol for bacterial STIs — as something to chase down separately. AHF Wellness Center - Columbus carries all three: PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP, with pharmacy support and home delivery available for refills.

Staffed for Non-English Speakers at Every Step

Equitas Health maintains on-site interpretation services rather than routing non-English speakers through a separate line after the fact. That staffing is present during the clinical conversation (history-taking, test results, treatment instructions) so nothing critical gets compressed into a summary handed over at checkout.

Ryan White Program funding at Equitas Health means the clinic can carry an HIV-positive patient from initial rapid test through ongoing medical management and antiretroviral treatment, no separate provider needed. For someone without a regular physician or the means to absorb HIV medication costs, that continuous relationship in one Columbus clinic is the practical difference between starting treatment and stalling.

Equitas Health prescribes and monitors both PrEP and PEP in Columbus, which is the right fit for anyone who lacks a primary care doctor willing to prescribe HIV prevention medication or who needs uninsured coverage handled. PrEP for the uninsured is specifically supported through the clinic's funding structure.
