Every Service Carries a Zero Balance

Sliding-scale fees here bottom out at nothing, no insurance required to reach that floor. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, and for anyone outside those programs, the sliding scale covers the full visit, including the HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines offered on-site.

Spanish Is a Staffed Clinical Language Here

Clinical staff at this Savannah location conduct appointments in Spanish directly: counseling, exposure history, and treatment instructions are delivered in the language without routing through an outside service. That staffing applies across the full panel, from TB screening to STI treatment.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

Tennessee Department of Health in Savannah both tests and treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves into an active treatment plan at the same location. No separate specialty provider to find or schedule before care begins.

Spanish-Language Care Keeps Treatment on Track

When a diagnosis has to travel through fragmented communication, follow-through breaks down: prescriptions go unfilled, vaccine series get abandoned, and questions about partners go unasked. At Lifespan Health, STI care and treatment conversations happen directly in Spanish, so nothing critical gets lost between the visit and what comes next.

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.

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 Hardin County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Nixon, TN

TN 128 cuts through Nixon with the unhurried pace of a town that has largely put down roots: more than four in five households own their homes, and the majority of adults here are married, many raising families in households that run well above the national average in size. That settled, multigenerational character is part of what makes access to sexual-health screening a logistical puzzle rather than a simple errand. For younger adults still early in their relationships, the years when transmission risk runs highest, building in that kind of travel around family or caregiving obligations takes planning that can quietly shorten the list of things that actually get done.

Nixon's unusually high share of six-figure households might suggest cost is a minor concern, but that average conceals the roughly one in five residents who rent at home values suggesting a lower economic footing. For that slice of the community, renters in a predominantly owner-occupied town, the fee structure of the one listed clinic is worth checking before making the drive along 128.

Confidentiality & consent in Tennessee

Minor 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.
