Every Service Runs on a Zero-Dollar Basis
The department is staffed and funded to absorb the full cost of every service it provides: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling, and partner notification all bill at zero dollars. No fee schedule kicks in at any income level; the operational model simply does not generate a patient balance.
Spanish Care Is Staffed Directly On-Site
Spanish-language care at Rutherford County Health Department is handled by staff working directly in clinic, not routed through an external service. Counseling, STI prevention education, and test results are communicated in Spanish by the people conducting the appointment.
Hepatitis C Testing Expands the Standard Panel
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic draws hepatitis C into its routine testing panel. That single addition means a patient leaves with a clearer picture of bloodborne exposure without scheduling a separate appointment elsewhere.
Hope II in Murfreesboro earns its federal health center designation partly through a sliding-scale fee structure tied to income.

Every Test and Treatment Runs Without a Bill
When cost sits between a person and follow-through, untreated infections compound and spread. Tennessee Department of Health in Woodbury charges nothing (not for the panel, not for same-visit bacterial treatment, not for vaccines, not for PrEP or DoxyPEP) so cost never becomes the reason care stops.
Spanish-Language Care Handled by This Clinic Directly
Tennessee Department of Health in Woodbury delivers care directly in Spanish: counseling, results, and treatment conversations included. For someone navigating PrEP, a new diagnosis, or a medication regimen without a regular English-speaking provider, that means clinical information lands clearly and next steps are actually actionable.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed at This Location
Tennessee Department of Health in Woodbury prescribes all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP. Doxycycline taken after exposure to reduce bacterial STI risk. Holding all three in one no-fee clinic means prevention strategy can be adjusted as circumstances change, without splitting care across providers.
Priest Lake Family and Women's Health Center in Nashville meets patients where they are (between providers, paying cash, or working without insurance) through its federally qualified status, which ties fees to income. Sliding-scale STI screening covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, and no appointment is required.
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 1 mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Murfreesboro, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab.

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 Rutherford County tests for syphilis.

Murfreesboro's workforce moves fast: healthcare, manufacturing, education, and retail operations that demand steady attendance and focused energy. For people juggling those responsibilities, a routine STI screening fits most naturally into a schedule when it's uncomplicated and close by. Testing in and around Murfreesboro listed on this page includes clinics positioned to meet that need without friction, each offering confidential results that stay separate from employment records, school files, or any other part of your life. Young adults in their twenties and thirties make up a substantial presence in the community, a population for whom annual screening or testing after a new partner is standard preventive care. Not crisis management.
The clinics serving Murfreesboro understand that confidentiality isn't negotiable; it's the baseline that lets people get tested without calculating social risk. The town's comfortable economic footing means most residents have insurance or can pay out of pocket, yet cost remains one real barrier among many. Clinics listed here offer a range of payment structures, and several accept public insurance plans. Whether you're testing for the first time or maintaining a regular schedule, the process is straightforward: call ahead, confirm hours and what to bring, and go.

Confidentiality & consent in TennesseeMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Tennessee, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
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.
