No Bill Arrives After Treatment Here

When cost follows a diagnosis, people delay treatment, skip follow-up, or absorb the infection gap silently. At ChesPenn Health Services, every service (testing, counseling, treatment) is provided at no fee, closing that gap before it opens.

Spanish-Language Care Without the Gap

A missed nuance in a treatment explanation or a misunderstood dosing instruction can mean an infection that doesn't clear. ChesPenn Health Services delivers care directly in Spanish, so the clinical conversation (symptoms, medications, next steps) lands with full precision.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed On-Site

ChesPenn Health Services prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP, including the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring that sustains a PrEP prescription, keeping prevention continuous within one practice rather than spread across disconnected providers.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 from 158 reviews

Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania in Upper Darby tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and HIV, treating bacterial infections the same visit, with sliding-scale fees accepted alongside Medicaid and insurance. Appointments are required, and Spanish-language care is available on-site.

Read full overview

Spanish Spoken, Care Delivered Without Relay

Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania carries Spanish-language care directly into the clinical encounter, not patched through an outside service. For anyone whose clearest thinking happens in Spanish, that means STI results, treatment options, and prevention conversations land with full precision the first time.

Minor Patients Keep Their Care Confidential Here

Without Title X standing, a minor seeking STI care or family planning often walks away with instructions to return with a guardian. A gap that can stretch weeks. Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania holds that Title X designation, meaning legally confidential services for minors are delivered at this clinic, not deferred.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Available at One Clinic

Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP under one roof, which means a patient building a prevention strategy doesn't have to split care across separate providers or lose continuity between the medications they're combining.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Later

Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV means a second appointment somewhere else to chase herpes or hepatitis A, B, or C. A gap that can stretch into weeks. Delaware Valley Community Health tests all of them in one visit, so nothing gets deferred while you wait on a separate facility to fit you in.

Spanish-Language Care From the First Appointment

Spanish speakers who need ongoing medication adherence counseling or STI treatment, not just a test, benefit from Delaware Valley Community Health's standing capacity to deliver that care directly in Spanish. Managing a condition across multiple visits is harder when clinical nuance has to survive translation; here it doesn't have to.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 from 9 reviews

Delaware Valley ID Associates in Wynnewood runs by appointment and brings infectious disease specialization to bear on every visit: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with bacterial infections treated same-visit and fees billed to insurance or set on a sliding scale.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis Fill Out the Panel

Clinics built around the core four (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV) leave herpes and hepatitis C invisible until symptoms force the question. Delaware Valley ID Associates tests for both, alongside hepatitis B and TB, so infections that typically wait for a specialist referral get caught in the same appointment.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated in One Practice

A positive hepatitis C result that sends you to a separate gastroenterologist or liver specialist means weeks of scheduling, repeated intake, and a treatment clock that keeps running. At Delaware Valley ID Associates, the prescribing, monitoring, and antiviral management happen within the same infectious disease practice that ran the initial test.

Both PrEP and PEP are prescribed and followed by infectious disease physicians at Delaware Valley ID Associates, the same specialists who manage HIV treatment, meaning the dosing schedule, required HIV and kidney-function labs, and any follow-up adjustments are handled within a single clinical relationship rather than split across providers.

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 Delaware County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Upper Darby, PA

Drexel Hill carries the look of a place that has been lived in for generations: modest row-homes, familiar corner stores, the kind of block where neighbors recognize each other's cars. Beneath that settled surface, the daily logistics of getting tested for STIs are shaped by real constraints. Just over half of residents own their homes, but a substantial share rent at prices that leave little slack in a monthly budget, and households here run large, meaning a single scheduling gap often affects more than one person's day.

Young adults in their late teens and twenties make up a significant portion of the township, and these are the years when STIs spread most readily and are most often left undetected. For someone working one of the jobs that account for Upper Darby's solid labor-force participation, getting to a clinic listed on this page may mean driving out along Lansdowne Avenue or State Road to reach a site that isn't necessarily around the corner. That drive is worth planning around, because many of the options listed here offer sliding-scale fees or do not require insurance at all.

With fewer than one in four households clearing six figures, out-of-pocket cost is a real consideration for most residents. Confirming the fee structure before booking, and whether a clinic bills Medicaid, can make a concrete difference for a renter in Yeadon or a larger household in Upper Darby Township weighing whether to go.

Confidentiality & consent in Pennsylvania Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, 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)

Pennsylvania 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.
