Crestwood Medical Group in Huntsville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with a fee structure that scales to what patients can pay. The standard panel covers rapid and conventional HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. By appointment.
Crestwood carries both Truvada/Descovy-class PrEP and PEP within its prescribing scope, meaning the medication, the required HIV and kidney-function monitoring, and prescription renewals are handled by the same clinical team. Continuity in that monitoring schedule is what keeps PrEP medically safe over time.
Many clinics that test for hepatitis C hand off treatment to a specialist elsewhere, leaving patients to navigate a separate system. Crestwood Medical Group carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, so a reactive antibody result moves directly into a treatment plan without changing providers.
The default STI panel at most clinics stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Hepatitis C requires a separate order that many practices don't routinely offer. At Crestwood, hepatitis C testing is part of the panel, paired with hepatitis A and B vaccination to cover the full spectrum.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Madison County, the county that includes New Market, compare with Alabama and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#30 of 67 Alabama counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 55% of the state
| Infection | Madison County | Alabama | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 589.7 2,433 cases ▼ 9% | 651.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 236.8 977 cases ▲ 4% | 226.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 15 62 cases ▼ 48% | 28.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 11.9 49 cases ▼ 42% | 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 Madison County, chlamydia has fallen from 649.2 to 589.7 per 100,000 (9%), gonorrhea has fallen from 381 to 236.8 per 100,000 (38%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 9.5 to 15 per 100,000 (58%).

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 Madison 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.
Madison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Madison County recorded 13.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 16.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Madison County residents living with HIV, 73.9% are in care · 63.3% 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 Madison County tests for syphilis.

Local context
New Market's tree-lined neighborhoods and the steady pace of families who've built lives here create a place where people value privacy and straightforward care.

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.
