Family planning clinics near Mount Holly that test for STDs
HHS lists this as a Title X family planning clinic. For care under its Title X program, which can include STD testing, federal rules say the clinic can't charge you if your family's income is at or below the federal poverty line, and must discount what you pay by income up to two and a half times that line (42 CFR 59.5).
If you're under 18 and ask for confidential care, the clinic counts your own income, not your family's.
