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.

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.

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 Lawrence County tests for syphilis.

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.
