Prevention Prescriptions Written at This Clinic
Plenty of testing sites stop well short of writing prevention prescriptions, leaving patients to track down a separate provider for PrEP or PEP. Crestwood Medical Group handles both, PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention and PEP for post-exposure situations, without routing patients out the door to find someone who will.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Practice
When hepatitis C is detected at Crestwood Medical Group, the clinic's own providers take it through treatment. Prescribing antiviral regimens and monitoring viral response over the course of therapy rather than handing off to a specialist elsewhere. The same team that orders the test manages the cure.
Hepatitis A, B, and C Included in the Panel
Crestwood Medical Group builds hepatitis A, B, and C testing into its panel alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Rapid and conventional HIV testing are both available, and the lab work on hepatitis C feeds directly into the clinic's own treatment pathway rather than standing alone as a one-off result.

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.

Among Madison County residents living with HIV, 73.9% are in care · 63.3% are virally suppressed.

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 Madison County tests for syphilis.

The Madison County Nature Trail and Study Center draws Farley residents out to think clearly, and that same clarity matters when it comes to sexual health. Young adults here, a meaningful presence in the community, often find themselves navigating new relationships or life transitions where knowing their status becomes straightforward self-care rather than crisis management. Testing in and around Farley listed on this page reflects the town's expectation of privacy and discretion; clinics here understand that confidentiality isn't performative but foundational to how people actually show up for their own health. Farley's character as a community of long-term homeowners shapes how residents approach wellness decisions.
Many have built lives here deliberately, chosen partners carefully, and want testing to fit seamlessly into that intentional living. Not as an intrusion or ordeal, but as a routine checkpoint. The clinics available nearby recognize this sensibility and structure their services accordingly. Because young adults in Farley are often establishing themselves in careers or relationships, access to quick, judgment-free testing removes a real barrier to screening.
Results remain confidential under state and federal law, and the process itself can be completed without disrupting the life you're building here. Whether you're in a new partnership or simply maintaining your own baseline, testing sites in the area treat it as the ordinary health measure it is.

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.
