Chase Brexton Health Care

No ratings yet

Chase Brexton Health Care in Baltimore offers every service (HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and TB testing) at no cost, with sliding-scale fees across clinical care, Medicaid and Medicare accepted, and same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs by appointment.

Read full overview

Free Across Every Service Line

The free tier at Chase Brexton isn't limited to HIV or hepatitis C, it runs through the entire service catalog. Rapid and conventional HIV tests, hepatitis A, B, and C testing, TB testing, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia: none of them carry a charge. That coverage extends into treatment, PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP.

Eight Languages Staffed, Including ASL

Chase Brexton staffs direct clinical communication in American Sign Language, Chinese, French, and Haitian Creole: plus Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese through interpretation services. ASL access is built into the care model itself, meaning Deaf patients work directly with providers rather than through an intermediary layer.

DoxyPEP Alongside PrEP and PEP in One Practice

Without access to DoxyPEP at the same practice managing PrEP or PEP, a patient navigates separate prescribers and separate follow-up schedules, and bacterial STI risk goes unaddressed in the gap. Chase Brexton prescribes and monitors all three: daily oral PrEP for HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP for reducing bacterial STI acquisition after potential exposure.

Petro Health

No ratings yet

Petro Health in Catonsville tests for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, and more on a sliding-scale fee, with insurance and Medicaid accepted; appointments are required, and same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections. French-language care is available throughout.

Read full overview

When a visit depends on understanding a diagnosis, or explaining symptoms precisely, miscommunication between a provider and a French-speaking patient can mean delayed treatment, missed follow-up, or a prescription misunderstood. At Petro Health, clinical care is conducted in French, so nothing critical gets lost between the appointment and the outcome.

Petro Health prescribes and manages all three current HIV and bacterial STI prevention regimens: daily oral PrEP with the lab monitoring that keeps it active, PEP for post-exposure HIV prevention, and DoxyPEP: doxycycline taken after a sexual exposure to reduce the risk of syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Each requires ongoing clinical oversight, which the clinic provides directly.

Hepatitis C left untreated causes progressive liver damage, and every week between a positive result and a treatment prescription is a week the virus continues that work. At Petro Health in Catonsville, the gap closes on-site: antiviral treatment is managed here, so a confirmed hepatitis C diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan without a separate specialist referral.

Park West Health System in Baltimore tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV on a sliding scale (with Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance all accepted) and delivers same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Every appointment is by request; the full scope of care carries no fee.

Read full overview

Zero-Cost Care for Anyone Walking In

Park West Health System's standing policy covers the entire visit at no charge (testing, STI treatment, HPV and hepatitis vaccines, HIV counseling) whether you're paying cash, lack a regular provider, or simply can't absorb unexpected medical costs. There is no tier of service that costs more.

HIV Treatment Runs Its Full Course Here

Through Ryan White Program funding, Park West Health System staffs the clinical infrastructure to move a patient from a rapid HIV test into ongoing HIV/AIDS medical treatment without a gap. Antiretroviral regimens are prescribed and monitored at the same site, not handed off to a separate provider.

Baltimore County Department of Health

Baltimore County Department of Health in Randallstown runs on a sliding-scale fee structure with Medicaid accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required, and Ryan White funding extends HIV care well past the initial test.

HIV Care Doesn't Stop at the Result

Testing-only HIV services leave patients sourcing ongoing care elsewhere. Baltimore County Department of Health in Randallstown is funded through Ryan White to carry that care forward, from a reactive result through treatment and management, all within the same program rather than handed off.

Substance-Use Treatment Staffed Alongside STI Services

The clinic in Randallstown staffs substance-use treatment as a parallel service, meaning a clinician can assess and coordinate a treatment plan on the same visit as STI care. That operational pairing isn't a referral network; it's a shared caseload under one department's roof.

Rated 1.8 out of 5 from 90 reviews

Baltimore Medical System runs on a sliding-scale fee structure open to anyone, with insurance and Medicaid accepted and a separate PrEP track for the uninsured. Appointments are required for testing across hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, and rapid or conventional HIV. With care delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish-Language Care, Not Just Scheduling

Many clinics accommodate Spanish speakers at the front desk but revert to English the moment clinical conversation begins. Baltimore Medical System delivers the actual care (counseling, treatment decisions, follow-up) in Spanish, so nothing critical gets compressed into translation.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Baltimore Medical System writes PrEP prescriptions in-house and carries a dedicated coverage track for uninsured patients. PEP is also prescribed directly, with the medication adherence counseling built into the same visit: meaning the regimen, the monitoring schedule, and the clinical guidance come from one provider, not assembled from separate sources.

Hepatitis C Treatment Happens Here, Start to Finish

For someone paying cash or without a specialist relationship, hepatitis C care that stops at diagnosis is only half the answer. Baltimore Medical System treats hepatitis C on-site (the antivirals, the management, the follow-through) so the path from positive test to cleared infection runs entirely within the same practice.

Jai Medical Center

Jai Medical Center in Baltimore takes walk-ins for a full STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB) with bacterial infections treated the same visit, fees on a sliding scale, and Medicaid and Medicare accepted.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel

Jai Medical Center tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the core bacterial and viral screen, which means a single visit can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and untreated.

Jai Medical Center carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, meaning a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed treatment course at the same facility, with medication adherence counseling built into ongoing care rather than bolted on separately.

Spanish and Interpretation Staffed Into Clinical Care

Spanish is available directly at Jai Medical Center, and interpretation services for other languages are staffed into the clinic's workflow, so medication instructions, adherence counseling, and follow-up conversations happen in the language the patient uses, not relayed through an outside channel.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

For anyone without a regular primary care provider, Total Health Care in Baltimore is built to handle the questions that fall through the cracks elsewhere: herpes and both hepatitis B and C sit alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia on a single panel, all on a sliding-scale fee.

STDs & HIV in Baltimore County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Baltimore County, the county that includes Woodlawn, compare with Maryland and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

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 Baltimore County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Woodlawn, MD

Woodlawn sits where the Baltimore Beltway's steady traffic hums a constant reminder that life here moves fast: families juggling work schedules, school runs, and the rhythms of a community where three generations might share one address. In that context, routine STI screening fits naturally into the habits of staying well, the way an annual checkup or a dental visit does. Young adults in particular (those navigating early careers, education, and relationships) benefit from knowing they can get tested quietly, without fanfare or the anxiety of wondering whether word travels through a tight-knit neighborhood. Testing in and around Woodlawn reflects the town's practical character: straightforward, accessible, and built for people with little time to spare.

The clinics and providers listed on this page understand that confidentiality isn't performative here, it's a baseline expectation, the same professional discretion you'd expect from any doctor. Results remain between you and your provider; there's no announcement, no notification sent elsewhere unless you choose it. Whether you're in Harristown, Colonial Park, or anywhere across Woodlawn, getting tested is a single decision, not a complicated one. The resources available in and around town make screening part of ordinary health maintenance, something you schedule and move forward from, knowing you've taken care of yourself.

Confidentiality & consent in Maryland Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Maryland 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 Maryland, 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)

Maryland 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.
