Williamson County Health Department in Fairview offers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB testing on a sliding-scale fee, with HIV and STI tests free, by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, and all services provided at no fee.
The sliding-scale structure at Williamson County Health Department bottoms out at zero across every service on the menu: testing, treatment, vaccines, and counseling alike. That blanket coverage means the HPV vaccine series and hepatitis C treatment carry the same price as an HIV test: nothing.
Williamson County Health Department holds both the diagnostic and treatment functions for hepatitis C within the same facility. A confirmed hepatitis C antibody result doesn't end the clinical relationship, treatment is managed here, keeping the care continuum intact without routing patients elsewhere.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic is staffed to run hepatitis C antibody testing and TB screening in the same appointment. Both conditions also have active treatment programs on-site, so the extended panel connects directly to follow-through care rather than functioning as a standalone screen.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hickman County, the county that includes Centerville, compare with Tennessee and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#65 of 95 Tennessee counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 32% of the state
| Infection | Hickman County | Tennessee | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 213 55 cases ▼ 59% | 517.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 58.1 15 cases ▼ 69% | 186.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 15.5 4 cases ▲ 5% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.7 2 cases ▼ 33% | 11.5 | 16 |

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 Hickman County, chlamydia has fallen from 244.7 to 213 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 160.5 to 58.1 per 100,000 (64%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4 to 15.5 per 100,000 (288%).

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 Hickman County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hickman County HIV care continuum (2023)
Hickman County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hickman County residents living with HIV, 87.5% are in care · 77.5% 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 Hickman County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
State Highway 100 cuts through Centerville as the main artery connecting this Hickman County town to larger medical hubs, and that distance shapes how residents approach something as time-sensitive as STI screening. Nearly half of adults here are married, and households tend to run larger than the national average: meaning health decisions often get weighed against family schedules, shared budgets, and the practical question of who watches the kids while someone drives to an appointment. That economic picture adds another layer. With typical rents well under the regional norm and homeownership the majority experience, Centerville isn't a place people pass through.
Most have roots here. But a labor-force participation rate that reflects a significant share of adults outside traditional nine-to-five employment means appointment availability doesn't automatically translate into accessibility, especially when the options listed on this page require a real drive out of town along roads like State Highway 100 or Linden Road to reach. Young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when new partnerships form most rapidly and screening matters most, face that same distance calculus with fewer resources and often less flexibility built into their weeks. Hickman County's STI figures reflect patterns common to rural Tennessee, and for someone living near Robinson Hill or along North Central Avenue, staying current on screening is what keeps those county-level numbers from becoming a personal one.

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.
