PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, No Referral Needed
Georgetown Family Physicians holds the standing capacity to prescribe and manage both PrEP and PEP: meaning anyone without a regular provider, or anyone paying out of pocket who needs the medication sourced and overseen in one place, has a direct clinical relationship rather than a handoff. Both are handled by the same physicians who run your panel.
Hepatitis C Treatment Happens Here, Start to Finish
Direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C, the drug class that achieves cure rates above 95%, are prescribed and monitored at Georgetown Family Physicians rather than coordinated elsewhere. That means the sustained virologic response check at twelve weeks post-treatment is part of the same clinical record as the original diagnosis.
Herpes and All Three Hepatitis Strains on the Panel
The testing panel at Georgetown Family Physicians includes herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV tests. A breadth that matters because hepatitis A and herpes are frequently excluded from standard four-pathogen screens, leaving gaps that don't surface until symptoms do.

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.

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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

Along KY 227 heading toward Owenton Road, a fair share of Stamping Ground's younger adults are renting, and at rents that stay well below regional averages, the turnover that comes with that affordability means people are regularly landing in new housing situations, new relationships, and the kind of transitional life moments when routine health habits get reshuffled. That renter population overlaps substantially with the younger adults most likely to benefit from regular STI screening, and the town's relatively modest homeownership rate means a meaningful slice of households here haven't fully settled into the kind of predictable domestic rhythms that make preventive care easier to schedule. The workforce picture adds another layer.
With a labor-force participation rate that leaves a notable portion of adults outside full-time employment, and unemployment running at a level that puts cost pressure on everyday decisions, the roughly $671 monthly rent isn't the only budget line that shapes whether a health appointment feels manageable. Fewer than one in eight households clears the six-figure income threshold, so out-of-pocket costs and fee-scaled options genuinely matter when someone is weighing whether to follow through. None of the options listed on this page are a quick walk from Buffalo Square or down Main Street, getting tested means getting in a car and committing to the trip, which makes knowing exactly which location fits your schedule before you leave home the practical step that actually moves things forward.

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.
