Transitions, in Ft Mitchell, answers the needs of patients paying cash, between providers, or working within a tight budget by operating under federally qualified health center standards. Meaning fees slide with income. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening, no appointment needed.
HealthPoint Family Care in Florence handles gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV testing within a family practice, treating bacterial STIs the same day results confirm. Fees run on a sliding scale, Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, and no appointment is required.

Spanish-Language Care, Counseling Included
For someone navigating testing, results, and treatment without a regular English-speaking provider, Northern Kentucky Health Department carries the entire clinical conversation (counseling, diagnosis, treatment) in Spanish. That continuity, from first question to prescription, is built into the visit itself.
Ryan White Funds HIV Care Beyond the Test
Ryan White Program funding at Northern Kentucky Health Department extends the clinic's HIV work past a reactive result, it anchors ongoing treatment and management for people living with HIV. The program exists specifically to keep care continuous for those who might otherwise fall out of it.
Herpes and Hepatitis C Alongside the Core Panel
For anyone without a primary care relationship who needs a thorough accounting of their sexual health, Northern Kentucky Health Department tests for herpes and hepatitis C in addition to the standard four. Infections that often go unscreened elsewhere unless specifically requested.
St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Covington accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance for STI care covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Walk-ins are welcome, and PrEP and PEP are both available on-site.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where You Test
Prevention prescriptions rarely come from the same clinic running your panel, those services tend to live elsewhere, requiring a separate appointment with a separate provider. St. Elizabeth Healthcare writes both PrEP and PEP in Covington, keeping HIV prevention and HIV testing in the same hands.
Hepatitis C Care Runs Through Completion Here
St. Elizabeth Healthcare manages hepatitis C treatment on-site in Covington, not just the antibody test that identifies the infection, but the full antiviral course. That means the provider monitoring your response to treatment is the same one who ordered your initial workup.
Hepatitis B and C Expand the Standard Panel
The testing menu at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Covington includes hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Catching a hepatitis diagnosis during an STI visit, rather than through a separate specialist referral, compresses the timeline between exposure and treatment.
Florence Medical Group in Florence schedules appointments for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language plus interpretation services on staff.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed at Florence Medical Group
Without an established prescriber, PrEP access tends to stall between a primary care intake and a specialist queue. Florence Medical Group carries PrEP and PEP prescribing in-house, so the clinical relationship (initial labs, prescription, and ongoing monitoring) starts and stays here rather than bouncing across separate practices.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Practice
Florence Medical Group treats hepatitis C on-site, meaning confirmatory RNA testing, antiviral prescribing, and sustained virologic response monitoring all happen within the same practice. Completing that full treatment arc internally closes the gap that opens when diagnosis and treatment belong to different providers.
Spanish Spoken on Staff, Interpretation Available Beyond
Florence Medical Group keeps Spanish-speaking staff on hand for direct clinical conversations (history-taking, treatment counseling, medication adherence education) and extends that capacity to other languages through on-site interpretation services, so the clinical detail of a visit doesn't depend on a patient's English fluency.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Crestview Hills, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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 Kenton County tests for syphilis.

A trip down Commonwealth Avenue or across toward Erlanger often includes a mental checklist: the pharmacy, the post office, the usual stops. Adding STI testing to that routine (discreetly, without fanfare) fits the practical mindset of a town where many households have lived for years and prefer to handle health matters straightforwardly. Testing in and around Crestview Hills listed on this page reflects that same directness: clinics and providers who understand that confidentiality isn't theater, it's baseline. Young adults moving into the area or settling here in their twenties and thirties often discover that regular screening fits naturally into their annual health rhythm, alongside other preventive care.
A straightforward conversation with a provider costs nothing, and results remain sealed to your own medical record. No gossip, no surprise notifications sent elsewhere. The stability of Crestview Hills means many residents build their lives here over decades, which is precisely why discreet, accessible testing matters. Whether you're establishing care with a new provider, responding to a partner's test, or simply staying current, the clinics and urgent care sites available locally handle these visits as routine health maintenance, not as drama.

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