Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Moscow, TN. The nearest, Rossville Health Center, is about 9.0 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Fees & payment
Memphis Health Center in Rossville is a community health center where STI care (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C) runs on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit bacterial treatment; appointments are required, and Spanish and interpretation services are available.
Memphis Health Center offers Spanish-language services and interpretation for other languages, which means test results, medication instructions, and prevention counseling reach patients in full, not in outline, reducing the chance that something critical gets lost between the exam room and home.
Without PrEP and PEP available at the same clinic handling your STI care, prevention medications become a separate errand. Another provider, another wait, another gap. Memphis Health Center prescribes both, keeping prevention and testing in the same clinical relationship, with PrEP covered for uninsured patients.
At Memphis Health Center, a hepatitis C diagnosis leads directly to treatment: antiviral medication is prescribed and the treatment course is monitored by the clinic's own staff, so the path from a reactive test to viral clearance stays within one care team rather than handed off elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Fayette County, the county that includes Moscow, compare with Tennessee and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~32% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#19 of 95 Tennessee counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 80% of the state
| Infection | Fayette County | Tennessee | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 450.5 199 cases ▼ 13% | 517.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 115.4 51 cases ▼ 38% | 186.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.3 1 cases ▼ 84% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.5 2 cases ▼ 61% | 11.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 38.5 17 cases ▲ 46% | 26.4 | 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 Fayette County, chlamydia has fallen from 490.6 to 450.5 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 254.8 to 115.4 per 100,000 (55%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 16.7 to 2.3 per 100,000 (86%).

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 Fayette County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fayette County HIV care continuum (2022)
Fayette County recorded 18.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 14.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fayette County residents living with HIV, 84.7% are in care · 71.8% 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 Fayette County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Getting tested in Moscow means working with what's actually within reach: the clinic landscape here is sparse, and the nearest major medical centers lie beyond town limits. Young adults who grew up here or have recently moved back often discover that the assumption of "just drop by the clinic" doesn't quite fit. That gap between expectation and geography is real, and it shapes how people plan ahead. Testing sites and providers listed on this page include options in and around Moscow, but advance calls and scheduling are part of the process, not exceptions to it.
Confidentiality works straightforwardly in a small place: your test results belong to you and the medical team, period. There's no gossip clause in patient privacy. For the young adults moving through Moscow (whether they're establishing themselves professionally, returning after time away, or building a life here) that separation between testing and visibility matters. A screening visit stays between you and your provider.
Moscow residents benefit from taking the step early rather than waiting for a reason to seek care. Routine testing, done quietly and on your schedule, means you know your status and can move forward with clarity. The resources listed on this page can connect you to testing that fits your timeline, even if the clinic itself requires some planning to reach.
Getting there
At 3.16/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Moscow generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Moscow often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee.

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).
In Tennessee, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
