Westside Family Healthcare - Ancillary Administration Office, serving New Castle, bases its fees on a sliding scale tied to income, so cost is never a barrier to care. Federal FQHC designation backs that promise. Walk-ins are welcome for STI screening covering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

Henrietta Johnson Medical Center in Wilmington tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, treating bacterial infections in the same visit when results warrant. Fees run on a sliding scale, with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted. An appointment is required. Care is delivered in Spanish.
Without Spanish-language care at the point of visit, the gap between a test result and a treatment plan often widens. A second appointment, a misunderstood follow-up, an untreated infection. At Henrietta Johnson Medical Center, Spanish is carried through the clinical encounter itself, so nothing gets lost between diagnosis and treatment.
Plenty of clinics offer family planning as a checkbox, no structural protection for younger patients who need privacy most. Henrietta Johnson Medical Center operates under Title X, which legally guarantees confidential family planning services for minors, not as a policy courtesy but as a federally binding standard.

Fees & payment
Planned Parenthood of Delaware in Wilmington accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees available; donations are also accepted. Appointments are required for testing covering gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and rapid or conventional HIV, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Wilmington's Planned Parenthood location offers Spanish-language care directly, plus interpretation services for additional languages: meaning clinical conversations about DoxyPEP dosing, PrEP adherence, or STI treatment happen in the language a patient communicates in most precisely, without a separate coordination step.
Title X designation at this Wilmington clinic carries a specific legal consequence: services for minors are legally confidential, not simply handled with discretion. That statutory protection covers the full scope of family planning and STI care offered at the site.
Bacterial STI prevention via DoxyPEP remains unavailable at many STI clinics that stock only PrEP: Planned Parenthood of Delaware in Wilmington prescribes all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP for reducing gonorrhea and chlamydia risk after exposure.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in New Castle County, the county that includes Wilmington Manor, compare with Delaware and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#2 of 3 Delaware counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | New Castle County | Delaware | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 610.6 3,533 cases ▲ 10% | 552.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 184.1 1,065 cases ▲ 21% | 151.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 19.9 115 cases ▲ 14% | 17.4 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.3 54 cases ▲ 7% | 8.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 16.8 97 cases ▲ 11% | 15.1 | 29.5 |

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 New Castle County, chlamydia has risen from 489 to 610.6 per 100,000 (25%), gonorrhea has risen from 143.2 to 184.1 per 100,000 (29%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10 to 19.9 per 100,000 (99%).

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 New Castle County.
Local HIV snapshot
New Castle County HIV care continuum (2023)
New Castle County recorded 13 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.4 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among New Castle County residents living with HIV, 83% are in care · 72.6% 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 New Castle County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Penn Acres sits close enough to North Dupont Highway that daily errands (a grocery run, a pharmacy stop) already put residents within reach of the options listed on this page. That kind of built-in access matters especially for younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who are statistically most likely to need STI screening and least likely to have the flexibility to chase it across a county. The household picture in Wilmington Manor adds texture to that reality. With more than seven in ten residents owning their homes, this is a community with real roots: larger-than-average households, a meaningful share of married adults, and a cost structure where $1,073 in monthly rent and modest home values leave limited room in a budget for unexpected medical bills.
For the roughly one-in-five earners who clear six figures, out-of-pocket testing may be a non-issue, but for many working households here, the options listed on this page that offer sliding-scale or low-cost visits do genuine work. Unemployment is elevated enough that unpredictable schedules are common: hours can shift, second jobs get added, and a mid-morning appointment becomes hard to protect. The clinics listed here span enough hours and formats that a resident near Colonial Village Apartments or Castle Hills can realistically fit a visit around a workweek that doesn't follow any tidy pattern, then walk back out past the Fort Casimir historic marker without having rearranged their life to do it.
Getting there
Wilmington Manor scores 11.51/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Delaware 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 Delaware, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Delaware 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.
