Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

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.

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 Montgomery County tests for syphilis.

About Currys, AL

US 231, Troy Highway, runs straight through the area, and for most residents a clinic visit means committing to that drive rather than walking out the door. That travel time is worth knowing in advance, especially when the one option listed on this page sits outside Currys itself. What makes this community distinctive is how settled most of it already is: nearly four in five households own their homes, many of them long-term, and a majority of earners clear six figures. That financial stability can make testing feel like a lower-stakes errand to defer, not because people can't afford it, but because a comfortable routine seldom feels urgent.

At the same time, a smaller share of adults are active in the workforce right now, which means scheduling is less about stolen lunch breaks and more about building the trip into a day that's already loosely structured around other errands on Troy Highway. Younger adults in Currys (people moving through their twenties and early thirties, forming new relationships or households) represent a meaningful slice of the population, and they're exactly the group for whom a one-time drive to the option listed here pays the clearest return. With average household size hovering just above two people and more than a third of adults married, most of these visits are quiet, individual decisions folded into an otherwise ordinary week.

Confidentiality & consent in Alabama

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Alabama 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 Alabama, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Alabama 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.
