Solutions Health charges nothing for any of its services. That straightforward fact means a patient can pursue the full panel, start PrEP, get treated for a bacterial infection, and begin hepatitis C care without weighing what to skip based on cost.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Available Without a Regular Provider
Solutions Health carries PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure management, and DoxyPEP. The three-medication prevention toolkit in one place. For anyone paying out of pocket or without an established primary care relationship, having prescribing capability on-site means prevention doesn't stall waiting for a referral appointment elsewhere.
Hepatitis C Treatment Begins and Ends at Solutions Health
Solutions Health treats hepatitis C on-site rather than stopping at diagnosis. For a curable infection that historically required specialty referrals, that means a positive result can move directly into a treatment plan without leaving the clinic's care.

Zero-Cost Care With No Insurance Required
Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness covers the entire visit (testing, counseling, and treatment) at no fee, regardless of whether someone carries insurance or pays out of pocket. For anyone without a regular provider or coverage, that standing policy means nothing is rationed by what a visit costs.
Spanish Spoken Here, Not Patched Together
Many clinics route non-English speakers through ad hoc solutions that slow the visit and flatten the conversation. Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness delivers care directly in Spanish, keeping the full clinical exchange (history, counseling, results) in the same language throughout.
Title X Covers Minors With Legally Confidential Services
As a Title X-funded clinic, Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness extends legally confidential family planning and STI services to minors. Meaning parental notification is not required. For a young person managing sexual health without a guardian's involvement, that legal protection is built into every visit.
Family Health Centers in Louisville is a family practice where STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and HIV) pairs with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, all on a sliding-scale fee with every service available at no cost.

Every Service Runs at Zero Cost
When a fee, even a modest one, stands between someone and treatment, gonorrhea and chlamydia go uncleared, syphilis advances, and the window for intervention closes. At Family Health Centers, every service, test through treatment, carries no charge, so cost never becomes the reason care doesn't happen.
STI Care Conducted Entirely in Spanish
Miscommunication during an STI visit (a misunderstood symptom, a treatment instruction lost in translation) can mean wrong treatment or none at all. Family Health Centers delivers care in Spanish directly, so every detail of testing, diagnosis, and treatment moves accurately between provider and patient.
Substance-Use Treatment Available Alongside STI Care
Leaving substance-use treatment to a separate appointment at a separate clinic means one of the two often doesn't happen, and the conditions that increase STI risk go unaddressed. Family Health Centers in Louisville holds both programs, so neither care need waits on the other.
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 Parkway Village, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Among Jefferson County residents living with HIV, 82.8% are in care · 71.9% 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.
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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

Flag Pole Courtyard sits at the quieter residential edge of Parkway Village, where the homeownership rate tells the story of a community that has largely settled in. Mortgages, yards, neighbors who've been there for years. That stability doesn't mean schedules are easy: with nearly four in five residents actively working, most days are built around shifts and commutes along Preston Highway, leaving little room for appointments that require advance planning or multiple trips.
The household picture here (families averaging nearly three people, with a meaningful share of adults outside a married partnership) means people are navigating relationships and health decisions in genuinely varied circumstances. Rent that stays under a thousand dollars a month offers some financial breathing room, but for the under-35 crowd moving through the years when STIs are most commonly transmitted and most easily missed, cost and convenience still determine whether screening actually happens. A low unemployment rate suggests most people are employed and pressed for time, not idle, which makes the gap between "I should get tested" and a kept appointment wider than it looks.

Confidentiality & consent in KentuckyMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Kentucky 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 Kentucky, 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)
Kentucky 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.
