On-Staff Interpretation, Not a Scheduled Add-On
When a patient books an appointment, interpretation for non-English languages is built into the care model. Not arranged as a separate request after the fact. The clinic staffs or coordinates live interpretation so that clinical conversation, including test results and treatment instructions, happens in real time without a gap.
Title X Makes Minor Confidentiality a Legal Guarantee
As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England provides legally confidential family planning and STI services to minors. Meaning those services cannot be disclosed without consent. That protection is enforceable, not a policy preference, which makes it meaningful for younger patients weighing whether to come in at all.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Directly at This Clinic
For someone without a regular provider, or anyone who'd rather handle HIV prevention in one place, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, so the medication, the monitoring labs, and the ongoing follow-up all stay in one clinical relationship rather than scattered across separate offices.

Every Service Carries Zero Cost Here
When cost becomes the reason someone delays a follow-up or skips a second visit, the gap between testing and care widens. Sometimes dangerously. At Community Health Centers, every service, from the initial test to treatment to prevention counseling, is provided at no fee, so that gap never opens.
PrEP and PEP Available, Managed on Ongoing Basis
Community Health Centers prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning patients leave with an actual prevention plan rather than a name to call. That continuity makes it far more likely the prescription gets filled and the regimen actually starts.
Hepatitis B and C Testing Extends the Standard Panel
Clinics running the basic four (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV) leave hepatitis B and C undetected in people who may have real exposure risk. Community Health Centers tests for both, alongside TB, so chronic viral infections don't slip past an otherwise thorough visit.
Free Access Health Clinic in South Burlington tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with all services provided at no fee. Donations accepted but never required. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs; appointments are required.

Every Service Runs on Zero Dollars
Free Access Health Clinic carries no charge for any service: testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling are all provided without cost. For anyone without a regular provider or paying entirely out of pocket, that means gonorrhea treatment, a hepatitis B vaccine, and HIV counseling all happen in one visit with nothing owed at the end.
Hepatitis C Diagnosis Leads Directly to Treatment
When hepatitis C is diagnosed and treatment has to be sought separately, the gap between those two appointments is where people fall through: delays compound, and an active infection goes unmanaged longer than it should. Free Access Health Clinic in South Burlington closes that gap by providing hepatitis C treatment on-site, so a positive result moves straight into care.
TB and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Panel
For anyone without a primary care provider who wants a thorough picture of their infectious disease status, Free Access Health Clinic tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside TB. Infections that a standard STI panel won't catch. That breadth, all at no cost, makes it the practical choice for a comprehensive baseline workup.

Ryan White Closes the HIV Care Gap Others Leave Open

Ryan White funding at University of Vermont Medical Center bridges that gap directly, sustaining HIV/AIDS medical treatment and medication adherence support through the same program that covers the initial test.

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 Chittenden County tests for syphilis.

Williston Village Green anchors a town where most households have settled in rather than cycled through, with ownership rates that reflect long-term roots rather than transient living. Young adults renting here, a smaller share of the population, often pay rents that sit well above what many Vermont communities ask, which means budgeting choices land harder on the people least likely to have built up financial cushion. When every monthly expense feels accounted for, a screening appointment can slide down the list simply because it feels like one more thing to schedule and pay for. Chittenden County's STI patterns make that slide worth resisting.
Williston's share of residents in their late teens and twenties is the age window when chlamydia and gonorrhea rates run highest nationally, and many of them are navigating first relationships, new partnerships, or the relationship shifts that come with early careers in a community where the labor market is strong and people are moving forward quickly. 94-person average is coordinating schedules. Getting to any of them requires a car and a plan. US 2, Williston Road, carries most residents out toward Burlington-area clinics, and knowing that a given trip runs ten to twenty minutes along that corridor changes the mental math: it becomes an errand, not an expedition.

Confidentiality & consent in VermontMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Vermont 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 Vermont, 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)
Vermont 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.
