Crestwood Medical Group in Huntsville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with a fee schedule for those paying directly. The clinic tests for HIV, both rapid and conventional, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C, treating bacterial infections the same visit and managing HIV on-site. Appointments are required.
Crestwood Medical Group prescribes and monitors PrEP, including the follow-up labs and prescription renewals that keep the regimen current. PEP is also available for post-exposure prevention. Keeping both services inside a medical group means the prescribing physician already holds your full chart, not just your STI history.
A hepatitis C diagnosis that goes unlinked to treatment means months of scheduling, specialist waitlists, and a virus still replicating throughout. At Crestwood Medical Group, treatment follows the diagnosis in the same practice: no second referral chain, no gap between knowing and acting.
Clinics running a basic four-infection screen leave hepatitis C undetected in people who have no idea they were ever exposed. Crestwood Medical Group adds hepatitis C to its panel alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Catching a chronic infection that a narrower screen would miss entirely.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Limestone County, the county that includes Mooresville, compare with Alabama and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#53 of 67 Alabama counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 21% of the state
| Infection | Limestone County | Alabama | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 351.5 403 cases ▼ 46% | 651.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 92.5 106 cases ▼ 59% | 226.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 22.7 26 cases ▼ 21% | 28.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14.8 17 cases ▼ 27% | 20.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 30.5 35 cases ▲ 24% | 24.5 | 29.5 |

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 Limestone County, chlamydia has risen from 295.5 to 351.5 per 100,000 (19%), gonorrhea has fallen from 145.8 to 92.5 per 100,000 (37%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.8 to 22.7 per 100,000 (291%).

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 Limestone County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Alabama is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Limestone County HIV care continuum (2023)
Limestone County recorded 8.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 16.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Limestone County residents living with HIV, 75.3% are in care · 65.2% 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.
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 Limestone County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Mooresville's economy runs on manufacturing, construction, and seasonal agricultural work. Rhythms that demand steady schedules and physical presence. People here tend to know what they need and where to find it, whether that's a reliable contractor or a dependable mechanic. That same directness applies to health: residents in their late teens through their thirties increasingly treat STI screening as routine care, something to handle quietly and move past.
Testing in and around Mooresville happens through clinics and providers listed on this page, each offering confidential results that stay between you and your medical record. What matters most in a town where word travels is knowing that a screening visit leaves no trace in your workplace, your social circles, or anywhere else you didn't put it yourself. The clinics serving Mooresville understand this, they've built their practices on the assumption that your test is yours alone. Whether you're between jobs, settled into steady work, or managing the unpredictable calendar of seasonal employment, finding time for screening doesn't require a story.
Clinics near Belle Mina and along the Huntsville-Decatur Highway keep hours that fit working days, and results come back fast enough that you move forward without delay. Routine screening isn't about drama; it's about staying informed.

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.
