Centerpoint Health in Franklin runs entirely on a no-fee model, accepting Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance alongside sliding-scale and donation-based options for everyone else. Appointments cover rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis B and C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Centerpoint Health charges nothing for any service it provides, tests, treatment, vaccines, PrEP, counseling. For someone without a regular provider, paying cash, or stretching a tight budget, that standing policy means walking in and receiving the full scope of care without financial negotiation at any step.
Centerpoint Health prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient who wants ongoing HIV prevention can leave with a prescription rather than a separate appointment elsewhere. Keeping the prevention plan continuous and clinic-managed from the start.
Without hepatitis B and C on the panel, a gap in testing often means a second appointment at a different facility: a cost in time, money, and follow-through that frequently goes unfilled. At Centerpoint Health, both are part of the same visit, so nothing is left unexamined while waiting on a separate referral to materialize.

Premier Health in Franklin tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, with fees billed to Medicare or insurance and a standard fee schedule for others. Bacterial infections are treated same visit; appointments are required.
Plenty of testing sites confirm exposure and leave ongoing prevention to someone else's desk. Premier Health prescribes both PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention and PEP for post-exposure management, keeping the full prevention continuum at the same practice rather than splitting it across providers.
Premier Health's panel extends to seven pathogens: adding herpes simplex, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV tests, plus TB screening. Hepatitis C, when identified, is managed on-site rather than deferred to a specialist referral.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Warren County, the county that includes Waynesville, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#72 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 18% of the state
| Infection | Warren County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 174.1 439 cases ▼ 62% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 36.1 91 cases ▼ 79% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.9 15 cases ▼ 64% | 16.3 | 15.8 |

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 Warren County, chlamydia has fallen from 199.3 to 174.1 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 64.8 to 36.1 per 100,000 (44%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.1 to 5.9 per 100,000 (44%).

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 Warren County.
Local HIV snapshot
Warren County HIV care continuum (2020)
Warren County recorded 4.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Warren County residents living with HIV, 79.3% are in care · 65.4% 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 Warren County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Waynesville's economy moves with the seasons and the steady hands of its residents: people who tend their properties, manage their own small enterprises, and build lives here across decades. That stability and self-reliance shape how locals approach health decisions too. The testing services available in and around Waynesville, listed on this page, recognize that confidentiality isn't casual; it's foundational. When you're part of a community where families and businesses intertwine, knowing that your test results remain private (not shared with employers, insurers, or neighbors) makes the choice to get screened feel genuinely feasible.
Young adults in their twenties and thirties form a significant part of Waynesville's population, and many are at the life stage when routine screening becomes smart practice. Whether someone is establishing a new relationship, planning ahead, or simply keeping their health current, the clinics and urgent care facilities serving the area offer straightforward, judgment-free screening without the weight of assumptions. The landscape around Caesar's Creek Pioneer Village and Hisey Park reflects the town's character, rooted, deliberate, careful. That same approach applies to sexual health: Waynesville residents can access screening on their own terms, with results handled as the personal medical information they are.
Getting there

Two things that actually depend on Ohio 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 Ohio, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Ohio 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.
