Fees & payment
Health Partners of Western Ohio in Bryan tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee open to anyone, with insurance and Medicaid accepted; an appointment is required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.
Plenty of clinics will run a hepatitis C antibody test and stop there, leaving patients to find a specialist who can actually prescribe treatment. Health Partners of Western Ohio closes that gap, hepatitis C treatment happens on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis doesn't become the start of a separate search.
Health Partners of Western Ohio holds substance-use treatment and STI care within the same practice, which means someone navigating both doesn't have to build two separate care relationships or coordinate between providers who don't communicate. The clinic carries that capacity as a standing service, not a referral arrangement.
Walk out of a clinic that tests only the standard bacterial four, and a hepatitis infection goes home with you undetected: meaning another appointment, another co-pay, and more time before treatment starts. Health Partners of Western Ohio tests for hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, keeping that gap from opening in the first place.

CPC Womens Health Resource in Bryan runs STI testing and treatment through a donation-based, no-fee model: gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and herpes by appointment, with sliding-scale replaced entirely by a contributions-welcome structure that applies to every service on the menu.
CPC Womens Health Resource operates without a fee schedule of any kind: donations are accepted but never required, and no charge is generated for testing, counseling, or treatment. That structure holds regardless of insurance status or income, with no threshold or documentation standing between a patient and care.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV, CPC Womens Health Resource tests for herpes. A distinction in what the clinic actually orders. Herpes diagnosis requires a different laboratory pathway than bacterial STI screening, and having it built into the available panel means the result comes from the same appointment rather than a separate referral process.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Williams County, the county that includes West Unity, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#25 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 72% of the state
| Infection | Williams County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 297.9 109 cases ▼ 35% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 54.7 20 cases ▼ 67% | 168 | 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 Williams County, chlamydia has risen from 280.3 to 297.9 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has risen from 51.2 to 54.7 per 100,000 (7%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.7 to 8.2 per 100,000 (204%).

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 Williams County.
Local HIV snapshot
Williams County HIV care continuum (2021)
Williams County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Williams County residents living with HIV, 76.5% are in care · 70.6% 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 Williams County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 127 threads straight through the middle of West Unity, past the quiet stretch of North Liberty Street where most of the town's housing stock sits well below the state median in value, and where a typical monthly rent of around $631 reflects a genuinely modest cost of living. That affordability matters because it shapes the whole budget picture for residents, leaving less cushion when an unexpected medical bill shows up. With nearly three in eight households renting rather than owning, and a labor-force participation rate suggesting most working-age adults hold steady jobs, scheduling anything during clinic hours still requires real coordination.
Especially for people whose shifts don't flex around a weekday appointment. Williams County's STI figures give particular reason for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties still building relationships and often least likely to have an established primary-care routine, to treat screening as a practical, recurring errand rather than a one-off. A household profile that skews toward working couples and families (nearly half of adults are married, and average households run close to three people) means one person's lapse in screening can quietly affect others under the same roof.
Getting there
At 4.56/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in West Unity 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 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.
