Read full overviewShow less
Every Service Carries a Zero Balance
Solutions Health charges nothing for any of its services. That straightforward fact means a patient can pursue the full panel, start PrEP, get treated for a bacterial infection, and begin hepatitis C care without weighing what to skip based on cost.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Available Without a Regular Provider
Solutions Health carries PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure management, and DoxyPEP. The three-medication prevention toolkit in one place. For anyone paying out of pocket or without an established primary care relationship, having prescribing capability on-site means prevention doesn't stall waiting for a referral appointment elsewhere.
Hepatitis C Treatment Begins and Ends at Solutions Health
Solutions Health treats hepatitis C on-site rather than stopping at diagnosis. For a curable infection that historically required specialty referrals, that means a positive result can move directly into a treatment plan without leaving the clinic's care.

Zero-Cost Care With No Insurance Required
Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness covers the entire visit (testing, counseling, and treatment) at no fee, regardless of whether someone carries insurance or pays out of pocket. For anyone without a regular provider or coverage, that standing policy means nothing is rationed by what a visit costs.
Spanish Spoken Here, Not Patched Together
Many clinics route non-English speakers through ad hoc solutions that slow the visit and flatten the conversation.

Title X Covers Minors With Legally Confidential Services
As a Title X-funded clinic, Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness extends legally confidential family planning and STI services to minors. Meaning parental notification is not required. For a young person managing sexual health without a guardian's involvement, that legal protection is built into every visit.
Family Health Centers in Louisville covers the full standard panel with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia, sliding-scale fees scaled to income across all services, and appointments required. Every visit delivered at no cost to the patient.

Herpes and Hepatitis Added to the Panel
Family Health Centers tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the core bacterial and HIV tests, giving patients a clearer picture of their status in a single appointment.
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.

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.

Among Jefferson County residents living with HIV, 82.8% are in care · 71.9% are virally suppressed.

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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

Audubon Park draws people who've chosen to stay: families who've bought homes here, couples settling into the rhythm of work and neighborhood life, and young adults building careers in Louisville just minutes away. That stability means most residents know the value of keeping their health matters private, especially when it comes to sexual health. STI testing in and around Audubon Park listed on this page reflects what a working community needs: clinics that respect confidentiality without fanfare, where a quick visit doesn't become neighborhood knowledge. Young adults in their twenties and thirties make up a real presence in Audubon Park, a group for whom routine screening (whether after a new relationship, before a commitment, or simply as part of regular care) is straightforward and practical.
The testing services available here handle that matter-of-factly, without the awkwardness that can linger in smaller circles. Access to testing doesn't require a long drive; providers near Flag Pole Courtyard and along Preston offer walk-in appointments and results that come back to you alone, not to employers, partners, or anyone else. For residents accustomed to handling their own affairs, that combination of proximity and discretion makes getting tested feel less like a health crisis and more like the routine it should be.

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.
