Spanish-Language Care Shapes Every Appointment
Capstone Health delivers care in Spanish, which means clinical conversations (symptoms, treatment options, medication instructions) happen without a relay. Patients leave with the same clarity and confidence as anyone else seen that day.
PrEP and PEP Available Without a Specialist Referral
Capstone Health carries PrEP and PEP as standing services, making it a practical option for anyone paying out of pocket or without a primary care provider who prescribes HIV prevention. Uninsured patients have a dedicated cost pathway for PrEP specifically, so the medication itself doesn't become the barrier.
Hepatitis C Treatment Happens Here, Start to Finish
Capstone Health treats hepatitis C on-site, so a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan rather than a hand-off to a separate specialist. That continuity cuts weeks off the timeline between knowing and clearing the infection.
Capstone-Nauvoo, serving Nauvoo under federal FQHC designation, ties its STI screening fees directly to household income. No one is turned away for inability to pay. Walk-ins are welcome for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening without an 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.
The nearest testing center is about 1 mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Double Springs, 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.

Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · 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.
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 Winston County tests for syphilis.

Double Springs sits at the end of a real drive for almost anything medical, the highway out of town carries residents past stretches of Winston County woodland before reaching the nearest testing option listed on this page. For younger adults here who are forming new relationships, navigating first jobs, or managing a household for the first time, that distance isn't abstract; it's a calculation made against a work schedule and a gas budget. The economics of this community shape that calculation in specific ways. Nearly half of residents rent, and typical rents here are genuinely modest. A sign that many households are stretching wages carefully rather than accumulating cushion.
Labor-force participation is relatively low, meaning schedules in Double Springs don't always follow a predictable nine-to-five pattern; some residents work irregular hours, others are managing family or caregiving responsibilities within households that tend to run larger than the national average. When a health appointment requires a highway trip, those competing demands get heavier. That's exactly why the breadth of options listed on this page matters. From telehealth-enabled services to clinic locations reachable along the county's main highway corridors, the range gives Double Springs residents real choices: not just one inconvenient appointment slot, but enough variety that someone can find a fee structure, a format, and a travel window that actually works for their corner of Winston County.

Confidentiality & consent in AlabamaMinor 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.
