Rated 3.2 out of 5 from 45 reviews
Crestwood Medical Group in Triana runs by appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks a visit that covers rapid and conventional HIV testing, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C, treated on-site, alongside bacterial STI treatment, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines, and sliding-scale fees accepted through Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance, with PrEP available for ongoing prevention.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Gap
Crestwood Medical Group holds standing capacity to prescribe and manage both PrEP and PEP: meaning someone without a regular provider, or one paying cash who needs the medication handled in a single clinical relationship, finds both prevention options under the same prescribing team that runs their testing.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at Crestwood
Crestwood treats hepatitis C directly rather than stopping at a diagnosis, which means a confirmed result moves into a treatment plan within the same practice. No hand-off to a separate specialist to initiate care.
Six-Pathogen Panel Includes Hepatitis C
The panel at Crestwood Medical Group tests for six pathogens (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, conventional HIV, and hepatitis C) so a single appointment produces results across bacterial, viral, and bloodborne infections without splitting the workup across visits.
Thrive Alabama Health Education Location in Huntsville welcomes walk-in patients without an appointment, making same-day STI screening straightforward to act on. Federally qualified status grounds its sliding-scale fees in household income, and a single visit can cover syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing.
Central North Alabama Health Services runs on a sliding-scale fee structure open to everyone, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted alongside private insurance. The panel covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB. Walk-ins welcome.
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 2 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Maplewood, 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 Madison County residents living with HIV, 73.9% are in care · 63.3% are virally suppressed.

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 Madison County tests for syphilis.

That practical reality shapes who gets screened and how often, particularly for younger adults in their late teens and twenties who are most likely to encounter STIs and least likely to treat a test as a scheduled priority. Maplewood skews heavily toward homeowners and two-adult households, which can suggest stability, but stability doesn't automatically translate to health-care engagement. With most of the labor force employed, and unemployment genuinely low, weekday clinic hours compete directly with full work schedules. Rent around $1,375 a month means even renters here aren't on the financial edge that some cities see, yet cost still enters the decision when someone weighs an unplanned co-pay against other obligations.
The testing options listed on this page give that person real choices, including options that vary by cost, hours, and distance from neighborhoods like Rambling Oaks or Madison. Madison County's STI data carries weight at the local level, and Maplewood's share of under-35 residents, though modest as a slice of the whole, represents the years when screening is most consequential. Finding a location near Stewart Park or within a reasonable drive of Home Place Park could be the difference between a test that gets fit in Tuesday or forgotten until something prompts it.

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.
