Tennessee Department of Health in Dandridge is a public health department where STI testing (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C) runs alongside TB and family planning, all on a sliding scale, by appointment, with every service available at no fee.
When cost stops someone from returning for treatment or follow-up, an infection stays active. Tennessee Department of Health in Dandridge charges nothing for any service it provides (testing, treatment, vaccines) so the price of a second visit is never the reason care ends.
When a patient has to relay symptoms through a middleman, clinical detail gets lost, and so do nuance and trust. Tennessee Department of Health in Dandridge delivers care directly in Spanish, so the conversation about symptoms, history, and treatment happens without compression or delay.
A positive hepatitis C result that sends someone elsewhere for treatment is a result that often goes unmanaged, the appointment doesn't happen, the cure doesn't start. Tennessee Department of Health in Dandridge provides hepatitis C treatment on-site, so diagnosis and the path through it share the same address.

River Valley Health in Blaine charges on a sliding scale accepted by Medicaid and most insurance, with PrEP covered for the uninsured; appointments are required for testing covering HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
River Valley Health carries hepatitis C treatment through to cure on-site, the same clinic that runs the antibody and confirmatory RNA testing also manages the full antiviral course. That continuity means a positive diagnosis doesn't send a patient hunting for a separate specialist to begin treatment.
Plenty of testing clinics stop at the test result and leave prevention prescribing to someone else, River Valley Health writes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, keeping the medication relationship inside the same practice that handles the underlying STI care.
Interpretation services at River Valley Health are available across appointments, meaning medication adherence counseling, PrEP education, and treatment decisions can be communicated with full precision. Not compressed into whatever English a patient can manage under pressure.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jefferson County, the county that includes New Market, compare with Tennessee and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#50 of 95 Tennessee counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 47% of the state
| Infection | Jefferson County | Tennessee | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 273.2 158 cases ▼ 47% | 517.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 58.8 34 cases ▼ 68% | 186.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 1.7 1 cases ▼ 89% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.2 3 cases ▼ 55% | 11.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.4 6 cases ▼ 61% | 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 Jefferson County, chlamydia has risen from 257.8 to 273.2 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 78.6 to 58.8 per 100,000 (25%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 5.5 to 1.7 per 100,000 (69%).

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 Jefferson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jefferson County HIV care continuum (2021)
Jefferson County recorded 10.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 14.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jefferson County residents living with HIV, 75.4% are in care · 67.2% 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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Most residents own their homes here, and with typical home values well below six figures, the financial footing is modest enough that an unexpected lab bill can genuinely compete with other household priorities. That household piece matters: New Market runs on family structure. A majority of adults are married, average households hold three people, and most working-age residents are in the labor force.
When younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically at highest risk for STIs, are also juggling work schedules, shared transportation, and the routines of a household with kids or partners, a clinic visit that requires planning a route out along SR 92 or West Broadway Boulevard becomes something that genuinely has to be scheduled, not just considered. The options listed on this page carry that scheduling reality in mind: hours, fees, and distance are all visible upfront. For someone in a two-earner household with a $771 rent obligation or a family budget built around a modest home, knowing the cost before the drive is the practical detail that actually determines whether the trip gets made.
Getting there
At 5.24/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in New Market generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
