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 Metcalfe County tests for syphilis.

About Edmonton, KY

West Stockton Street on a Tuesday morning is quieter than most county seats its size, and with home values well below six figures and typical rents under five hundred dollars a month, Edmonton runs on tight margins that leave little room for extra expenses, including clinic visits that cost more than they should. That economic reality lands hardest on the roughly two-fifths of households who rent rather than own, and on a workforce where a substantial share of working-age adults aren't currently employed. People whose schedules may be unpredictable but whose out-of-pocket costs are just as real as anyone else's.

For young adults in their late teens and twenties (the years when new relationships, less frequent routine care, and limited health literacy converge) easy access to screening isn't a luxury. The options listed on this page span clinics in and around Metcalfe County, with costs and hours that vary enough to be worth comparing before making the drive. With nearly three in five residents owning their homes here, Edmonton has a stable residential core, and stable communities benefit most when preventive care becomes something people actually plan for, year after year, at whatever clinic fits the route.

Confidentiality & consent in Kentucky

Minor 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.
