Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Pike County Health Department in Pikeville requires an appointment, so scheduling is the entry point, but that single visit covers the full panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines, and every service runs on a sliding scale, with all services provided at no fee.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Pike County Health Department runs herpes and hepatitis C testing in the same visit. That means results for two infections that a narrower panel would leave unaddressed (herpes by clinical or lab confirmation, hepatitis C by antibody screen) are folded into standard intake rather than ordered separately.
As a Title X-designated site, Pike County Health Department delivers family planning services to minors under federal confidentiality protections. Meaning those records are legally shielded, not just handled discreetly. That designation is the structural guarantee, not a policy preference that could change with staffing.
Every service at Pike County Health Department (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) is provided at no charge. The clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance, and applies a sliding scale otherwise; the result is that the fee column for an uninsured patient reaches zero without a separate charity application or deferred billing arrangement.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pike County, the county that includes Pikeville, compare with Kentucky and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~34% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#73 of 120 Kentucky counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 39% of the state
| Infection | Pike County | Kentucky | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 210.8 118 cases ▼ 45% | 381.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 42.9 24 cases ▼ 68% | 134.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 14.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.6 2 cases ▼ 75% | 14.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.1 4 cases ▼ 62% | 18.9 | 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 Pike County, chlamydia has risen from 119.3 to 210.8 per 100,000 (77%), gonorrhea has risen from 29 to 42.9 per 100,000 (48%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.7 to 1.8 per 100,000 (6%).

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 Pike County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Kentucky 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.
Pike County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Pike County residents living with HIV, 83.3% are in care · 66.7% 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 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 Pike County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pikeville takes its name from Pike County's founder, Charles Cummins Pike, and the town has grown into a regional hub where health services draw people from surrounding areas. STD testing in Pikeville reflects the town's character as a place where young adults, from recent high school graduates to professionals in their thirties, work and settle, often temporarily. The clinics and providers listed on this page serve that demographic with confidential screening that asks nothing of your address history or how long you plan to stay. Testing in and around Pikeville happens with genuine privacy.
The providers here understand that confidentiality isn't performed for show, it's how people actually move through their health decisions without the weight of a small town's social geography pressing down. Whether you live in Pauley, Pleasant Valley, or are newer to the area, the testing sites available work with the rhythm of your life, not against it. Access to routine STI screening near Pikeville City Park and throughout the county removes a major friction point for young adults managing their sexual health alongside school, work, or transitions between jobs and cities. The testing you need stays between you and your provider, and results don't flow into anyone else's conversation or record.

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).
In Kentucky, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
