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.

Spanish Spoken by Staff, Not Routed Around

Many clinics handle non-English speakers through workaround arrangements that sit outside the actual clinical encounter. At Tennessee Department of Health in Springfield, Spanish-language care is delivered directly by staff: meaning counseling, results, and prevention conversations happen in Spanish without a layer in between.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed Here

Tennessee Department of Health in Springfield prescribes PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP. Doxycycline taken after a sexual encounter to reduce bacterial STI transmission. Having all three in one clinical relationship means prevention planning isn't split across multiple providers.

Hepatitis C Treatment Doesn't Leave This Building

Without on-site hepatitis C treatment, a diagnosis becomes a starting point for a separate specialist search. One that stalls or disappears for many people. Tennessee Department of Health in Springfield carries treatment through to completion in-house, so a reactive hep C result doesn't begin a second referral chain.

Spanish Care Stays In This Building

Without Spanish-language clinical care at East Nashville Family Medicine, a Spanish-speaking patient faces fragmented follow-up: a separate appointment, a separate provider, and real gaps in treatment. Here, the clinical conversation (history, diagnosis, treatment) happens in Spanish from the start, closing those gaps before they open.

PrEP Is Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

East Nashville Family Medicine initiates and manages PrEP directly: meaning the prescribing physician also handles the required HIV baseline testing, the kidney-function monitoring, and the regular follow-up labs that keep the regimen current. PEP is also available through the same practice, managed by the same team.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Separately

For anyone without a regular provider or managing costs out of pocket, East Nashville Family Medicine's panel, which adds herpes and both hepatitis B and C to the standard four, means one appointment covers infections that often require a second referral elsewhere. That breadth is built into the standing clinical offering.

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 Robertson County tests for syphilis.

About Springfield, TN

Mackenzie Landing sits at the quieter edge of Springfield, where the subdivision streets feed back onto Tom Austin Highway and most errands mean a car trip. There's no sidewalk shortcut to a clinic the way there might be in a denser city. Springfield's workforce and housing picture adds another layer. Nearly six in ten residents are in the labor force, and with unemployment running above the state average, a household leaning on $835-a-month rent has limited cushion for unplanned costs.

Including testing. Homeowners and renters alike are stretching, which is exactly why the clinics on this page list their fees upfront. Knowing the out-of-pocket number before you drive down Memorial Boulevard matters when budgets are tight. The people most likely to benefit from routine screening, those in their late teens and twenties building new relationships, make up a substantial slice of Robertson County, and county STI figures reflect that.

For them, a test that requires two highway legs and a half-day off work is a test that often waits. The options listed here are selected because they're reachable from Springfield's major corridors and won't require that kind of trade-off.

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.
