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 Lauderdale County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Henning, TN

Along US 51 past the Alex Haley Museum and Interpretive Center, Henning carries the unhurried feel of a small West Tennessee town, but the logistics underneath that calm are genuinely demanding. The page lists no testing options within the town itself, meaning anyone who needs screening faces a real drive out along Jefferson Davis Highway to reach the nearest clinic. That drive lands harder here because of how the town is structured economically. Unemployment is exceptionally high, and most households operate well outside the upper-income tier. Fewer than one in twenty-five earns what most would call a comfortable salary.

More than half of residents rent rather than own, and typical rents stay low enough to signal tight household budgets overall. For young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI exposure is statistically most concentrated, that combination of limited income and no nearby option means scheduling a test requires burning time, gas money, and often a half-day off work that many households here can't easily spare. For renters in particular, the cost structure of the options listed on this page matters most: sliding-scale fees or no-cost testing can be the deciding factor between a visit that happens and one that gets quietly shelved. Checking whether a clinic accepts TennCare or offers income-based pricing before making the drive is worth doing from home first.

Confidentiality & consent in Tennessee

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Tennessee 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 Tennessee, 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)

Tennessee 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.
