A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Referral Needed
Georgetown Family Physicians holds the standing capacity to prescribe and manage both PrEP and PEP: meaning anyone without a regular provider, or anyone paying out of pocket who needs the medication sourced and overseen in one place, has a direct clinical relationship rather than a handoff. Both are handled by the same physicians who run your panel.
Hepatitis C Treatment Happens Here, Start to Finish
Direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C, the drug class that achieves cure rates above 95%, are prescribed and monitored at Georgetown Family Physicians rather than coordinated elsewhere. That means the sustained virologic response check at twelve weeks post-treatment is part of the same clinical record as the original diagnosis.
Herpes and All Three Hepatitis Strains on the Panel
The testing panel at Georgetown Family Physicians includes herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV tests. A breadth that matters because hepatitis A and herpes are frequently excluded from standard four-pathogen screens, leaving gaps that don't surface until symptoms do.

The Fee Structure Is Simply Zero
Lexington-Fayette County Health Department is funded to operate STI and HIV testing, treatment, hepatitis C testing, and Mpox vaccination without charging patients anything. No sliding scale to navigate, no insurance required to avoid a bill. The mechanism is public health department funding, not charity pricing.
Spanish Is a Clinical Operating Language Here
Spanish-language services at Lexington-Fayette County Health Department are a staffed clinical capacity: meaning prevention education, HIV test counseling, and STI care are delivered in Spanish as a direct service, not a workaround. That affects how risk and treatment details actually land.
Hepatitis C Is Tested Rapid, On-Site
Alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, Lexington-Fayette County Health Department runs a rapid hepatitis C antibody test in-house. Results available the same visit. On-site rapid hep C testing means a positive doesn't wait for a separate appointment to surface.

HealthFirst Bluegrass Bryan Station in Lexington meets patients wherever they land in the system: between providers, paying cash, or working without insurance.

Every Service Runs on Zero Dollars
AVOL Kentucky charges nothing for any service it provides, testing, treatment, prevention medication, counseling, all of it. That zero-cost floor means a patient managing a new PrEP prescription and a gonorrhea treatment in the same visit leaves without settling a bill for either.
ASL and Spanish, Both Fully Operational Here
AVOL Kentucky delivers care directly in American Sign Language and Spanish, two distinct linguistic capacities embedded in the clinic itself. The practical consequence: medication counseling for DoxyPEP or adherence support for PrEP happens in the language the clinician and patient share, not routed through a secondary channel.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Without a Regular Provider
AVOL Kentucky prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from a standing capability. No primary care relationship or prior enrollment needed to access any of them. For someone paying cash and without an established provider, that means walking in and leaving with a prevention plan rather than a starting point for finding one.

Zero-Fee Care Across Every Service Offered
Fee waivers at many clinics apply selectively, certain vaccines, certain visits, certain circumstances. At Bluegrass Community Health Center in Lexington, the no-fee structure applies to everything on the menu: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling. Sliding scale and major insurance round out the coverage, but no service sits outside it.
Spanish and Interpretation Woven Into the Visit
Bluegrass Community Health Center in Lexington staffs Spanish-language services directly and extends interpretation to other languages: meaning the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and follow-up happens in full, not in fragments. For anyone navigating care without English as a first language, that standing capability shapes every part of the appointment.
Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Core Panel
Clinics built around the four-infection standard leave herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C for patients to chase elsewhere. Bluegrass Community Health Center in Lexington tests for all three alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, and backs hepatitis B with on-site vaccination and hepatitis C with treatment.
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 Georgetown, 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.

Among Scott County residents living with HIV, 89.7% are in care · 87.9% 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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

That reality lands harder for the sizable share of younger adults here, people in their late teens and twenties who are precisely at the stage of life when routine STI screening matters most and who are also navigating a rental market where $889 a month already competes with every other bill. Nearly two in five households rent in Georgetown, and a workforce participation rate above 70 percent means most people are clocking real hours, not arranging their week around convenient appointment windows. Testing options are listed on this page specifically because the right clinic isn't always the closest one, it's the one whose hours don't require burning a lunch break or arranging a ride across Paris Pike twice in a week.
Georgetown's household profile (majority homeowners, a strong share of married couples, average households running close to three people) can make STI testing feel like someone else's concern. It isn't. Scott County's STI picture is visible in the rate tables above, and the clinics listed here serve every household configuration, schedule, and budget this city actually contains.

Confidentiality & consent in KentuckyMinor 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.
