Tests offered

For anyone paying entirely out of pocket and without a regular provider, Franklin Primary Health Center's standing policy is straightforward: the full range of care (testing, treatment, vaccines) is available at no fee. That means no cost calculation at checkout, regardless of which services the visit requires.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Butler County, the county that includes McKenzie, compare with Alabama and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#13 of 67 Alabama counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 81% of the state
| Infection | Butler County | Alabama | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 870.4 160 cases ▲ 34% | 651.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 282.9 52 cases ▲ 25% | 226.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 32.6 6 cases ▲ 14% | 28.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.9 2 cases ▼ 47% | 20.4 | 16 |

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 Butler County, chlamydia has risen from 808.4 to 870.4 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 383.2 to 282.9 per 100,000 (26%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.2 to 32.6 per 100,000 (527%).

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 Butler County.

Butler County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Butler County residents living with HIV, 77.4% are in care · 60.4% 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 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 Butler County tests for syphilis.

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).
In Alabama, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
