PrEP and PEP Available Without a Specialist

MainStreet Family Care prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, a meaningful capability for anyone managing HIV prevention without an established infectious disease provider or paying out of pocket for standalone specialty care. The prescription, the counseling, and the follow-up testing all run through one practice.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Included in the Panel

MainStreet's panel extends to herpes and both hepatitis B and C, which means a single visit can resolve questions that a more limited screen would leave open. No separate appointment at a different facility to fill the gap.

How reported STI rates in Autauga County, the county that includes Stoney Point, compare with Alabama and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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 Autauga County residents living with HIV, 72.5% are in care · 58.8% are virally suppressed.

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 Autauga County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Stoney Point, AL

Stoney Point's economy centers on construction trades and skilled work (carpentry, electrical contracting, HVAC installation) trades that anchor people to the area and to each other over decades. That stability and the strong family fabric here make routine STI screening easy to overlook, even though young adults in their twenties and thirties benefit most from confidential testing. The clinics and providers listed on this page serve Stoney Point residents who want straightforward screening without fanfare, whether they're starting a relationship, returning to dating after time away, or simply staying on top of their health between annual checkups. Stoney Point's character (homeownership, long tenure, married and multigenerational households) can make people hesitant to seek testing locally.

That hesitation is exactly why confidentiality matters here. Testing facilities in and around Stoney Point operate under strict privacy protections; results do not appear on insurance explanations of benefits unless you request it, do not go to your home address, and do not trigger automatic notifications to anyone else. The landmark familiarity of places like Legacy Park and the visible permanence of the community reflect what residents value: stability, reputation, and trust. Confidential STI screening fits into that picture as straightforward self-care: the kind of preventive step people take for themselves, quietly and completely.

Confidentiality & consent in Alabama Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Alabama 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 Alabama, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Alabama 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.
