Tests offered
Generations Primary Care in Hopkinsville tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB, treating bacterial infections the same visit. Fees run on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance; appointments are required.
Many sexual health clinics hand off HIV prevention to outside providers, leaving patients to navigate separate appointments and systems. Generations Primary Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP in-house, so ongoing prevention, or a time-sensitive response, stays with the same clinical team.
The testing menu at Generations includes herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the bacterial infections, which means a single visit can surface conditions that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unmanaged.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Christian County, the county that includes Fort Campbell North, compare with Kentucky and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~67% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#3 of 120 Kentucky counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Christian County | Kentucky | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 685.8 494 cases ▲ 80% | 381.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 213.8 154 cases ▲ 59% | 134.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 13.9 10 cases ▼ 1% | 14.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 15.3 11 cases ▲ 6% | 14.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8.3 6 cases ▼ 56% | 18.9 | 29.5 |

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 Christian County, chlamydia has risen from 659.8 to 685.8 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 424.8 to 213.8 per 100,000 (50%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.1 to 13.9 per 100,000 (239%).

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 Christian County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Kentucky is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Christian County HIV care continuum (2023)
Christian County recorded 8.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.4 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Christian County residents living with HIV, 78.9% are in care · 69.2% 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 Christian County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Fort Campbell Boulevard stretches past Lee Park and the Don F. Pratt Memorial Museum toward a community where virtually every household rents, none owns, and the average home holds more than three people. That combination shapes daily life in ways a county STI rate table can't capture: shared space, rotating neighbors, and tight monthly budgets built around rent rather than equity. The overwhelming majority of Fort Campbell North's residents are young adults in their late teens and twenties, which tracks exactly with the years when STI transmission runs highest.
With more than four in five residents in the labor force and unemployment running notably high, many households are balancing irregular or interrupted income against that fixed rent. For people in that position, a clinic visit is a scheduling and cost calculation, not just a personal-health decision. With only a small fraction of households earning above six figures, out-of-pocket costs matter enormously here. Sliding-scale fees and Title X funding at some of the listed clinics are worth understanding before you arrive, particularly for a renting household with a larger family and an income that leaves little room for an unplanned medical bill.
Getting there

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).
In Kentucky, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
