Wayne County Health Department in Wayne runs appointment-based STI care covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB: with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines, and every service provided at no fee.
Sliding-scale clinics still leave patients doing math, calculating what they can afford, what they'll skip, what they'll delay. Wayne County Health Department charges nothing for any service it offers, sliding scale included: the fee is zero, across the board, for everyone who walks through the door.
Leaving Wayne County Health Department without hepatitis answers, because your clinic didn't test for them, means scheduling a second appointment somewhere else, possibly paying again, and sitting with an untreated gap in the meantime. Wayne County tests hepatitis B and C in the same visit as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV.

Valley Health in Wayne tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee: Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are all accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.
When prevention requires a prescription, the gap between counseling and actually starting medication is where people fall through. Valley Health writes PrEP and PEP in-house, so the clinical visit ends with medication access. Not a forwarded chart and a second scheduling problem.
Alongside the bacterial and HIV panel, Valley Health runs a hepatitis C antibody test as part of the same appointment. That means a single visit produces results across infections (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C) without splitting the workup across separate orders or facilities.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wayne County, the county that includes Wayne, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#37 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 33% of the state
| Infection | Wayne County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 140.6 53 cases ▼ 44% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 13.3 5 cases ▼ 76% | 54.7 | 179.5 |

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 Wayne County, chlamydia has fallen from 200.1 to 140.6 per 100,000 (30%), gonorrhea has fallen from 87.2 to 13.3 per 100,000 (85%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.7 to 10.6 per 100,000 (38%).

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 Wayne County.
Local HIV snapshot
Wayne County HIV care continuum (2023)
Wayne County recorded 15.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Wayne County residents living with HIV, 67.6% are in care · 32.4% 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 Wayne County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Getting tested in Wayne means accepting that some appointments won't happen down the street. The town's affordable neighborhoods and steady rental market draw people in transition (young adults building their first jobs, retirees settling into quieter years, workers between chapters) and the health infrastructure reflects that reality. Testing services in and around Wayne listed on this page include providers within a reasonable drive, though the closest clinic may require planning ahead rather than walking distance. Young adults moving through Wayne often find themselves navigating screening for the first time away from home, or returning to it with new questions. A confidential test here carries real weight precisely because someone might worry about a neighbor's sister working the front desk.
That concern is legitimate in a place this size, and it's why the clinics and health departments serving Wayne take privacy seriously. Not as marketing language, but as the condition under which people actually show up. The modest cost of living that makes Wayne attractive also means many residents are watching their budgets carefully. Testing sites in the area offer sliding-scale fees and uninsured pathways, because people without steady employment or insurance, and Wayne has plenty of both, still need to know their status without a four-figure bill waiting after.
Getting there
At 5.07/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Wayne 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
West Virginia 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.
