Family Health Care Clinic

No ratings yet

Family Health Care Clinic, rooted in family practice medicine in Russellville, folds STI care into ongoing clinical relationships: conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C tested by appointment, bacterial infections treated same visit, all services provided at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Carries a Zero-Dollar Price Tag

Family Health Care Clinic charges nothing for any service on its menu: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, and hepatitis management alike. Sliding-scale adjustments exist, but the floor is already zero: no service is withheld pending payment, and no cost calculation applies to any visit.

Hepatitis C Treatment Prescribed and Managed In-House

Family Health Care Clinic carries hepatitis C care through the full clinical arc: diagnosis, antiviral prescribing, and treatment monitoring handled by the same practice. Direct-acting antivirals require sustained viral-load follow-up, and that monitoring stays within the clinic rather than being handed off elsewhere.

Herpes and All Three Hepatitis Strains Added to the Panel

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Family Health Care Clinic tests for herpes simplex and screens for hepatitis A, B, and C. Infections that share transmission routes with bacterial STIs but are routinely excluded from a basic four-pathogen panel. That breadth changes what a single appointment can rule out.

STDs & HIV in Colbert County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Colbert County, the county that includes Littleville, compare with Alabama and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

Colbert County HIV care continuum (2023)

Colbert County recorded 12.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 16.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Colbert County residents living with HIV, 84.1% are in care · 73.2% 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.

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 Colbert County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Littleville, AL

Coburn Mountain frames Littleville's western edge the way settled places often look from the road, quiet streets, owned homes, families that have been here a while. The household profile here (predominantly married adults, larger-than-average families, most people owning rather than renting) can make sexual health feel like someone else's concern. But young adults in their late teens and twenties live here too, and for them, the distance along George Wallace Highway to the nearest listed clinic is a genuine obstacle rather than a minor inconvenience.

A culture of homeownership and long-term partnership doesn't reduce the need for routine screening; it can just make the conversation easier to defer. Cost shapes who actually follows through. With only about one in eleven households crossing the $100k threshold, the lower-fee and sliding-scale options listed on this page matter most for Littleville residents on a fixed or modest income, and at a median rent well under $700 a month, every out-of-pocket co-pay competes directly with other line items in a tight household budget.

Confidentiality & consent in Alabama Minor 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.
