Tennessee Department of Health in Jacksboro operates through a public health department, which means the standard bacterial STI panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) plus HIV and hepatitis C testing all run through a single appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding scale, at no cost.
Fee schedules and sliding-scale minimums still leave a balance at most clinics. Tennessee Department of Health in Jacksboro charges nothing, not for testing, not for treatment, not for vaccines. Every line on the service list carries the same price: zero.
Plenty of testing sites confirm a hepatitis C antibody and hand the outcome back to the patient to sort out next steps alone. Tennessee Department of Health in Jacksboro manages hepatitis C treatment directly, the diagnosis and the care that follows it stay with the same provider.
Skip hepatitis screening and a positive result found months later means a second appointment, a second provider, and time already lost. Tennessee Department of Health in Jacksboro tests for hepatitis C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so that gap doesn't open in the first place.

#63 of 95 Tennessee counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Campbell County | Tennessee | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 216.3 87 cases ▼ 58% | 517.4 | 492.2 |

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 Campbell County, chlamydia has risen from 208.8 to 216.3 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 122.2 to 47.2 per 100,000 (61%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.1 to 9.9 per 100,000 (94%).

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 Campbell County.
Local HIV snapshot
Campbell County HIV care continuum (2022)
Campbell County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 14.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Campbell County residents living with HIV, 83.9% are in care · 80.6% 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 Campbell County tests for syphilis.

Two things that actually depend on Tennessee 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 Tennessee, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Tennessee 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.
