Franklin Primary Health Center in Mobile brings community health center depth to STI care: testing across a broad panel including herpes and hepatitis, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and vaccines for HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B, all with sliding-scale fees and no charge for HIV testing.
Franklin Primary Health Center carries no fees for its STI services, tests, treatment, vaccines, counseling. For anyone navigating care without a regular provider or paying entirely out of pocket, that standing policy removes the moment of calculating whether testing is affordable before deciding to come in.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis off a panel means a second appointment, a second wait, and a gap between exposure and clarity. Franklin Primary Health Center tests for herpes, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so one visit closes the loop rather than opening a to-do list.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Mobile County, the county that includes Tillmans Corner, compare with Alabama and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#19 of 67 Alabama counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 72% of the state
| Infection | Mobile County | Alabama | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 746.8 3,074 cases ▲ 15% | 651.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 269.4 1,109 cases ▲ 19% | 226.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 55.1 227 cases ▲ 93% | 28.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 15.1 62 cases ▼ 26% | 20.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 42.3 174 cases ▲ 73% | 24.5 | 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 Mobile County, chlamydia has risen from 728.5 to 746.8 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 335.6 to 269.4 per 100,000 (20%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 19.3 to 55.1 per 100,000 (185%).

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 Mobile County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Alabama 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.
Mobile County HIV care continuum (2023)
Mobile County recorded 26.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 16.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Mobile County residents living with HIV, 75.2% are in care · 57.8% 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.
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 Mobile County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Rabbit Creek Estates and Quail Run sit close enough to US 90 that daily errands run along Government Boulevard, and for the younger adults settling into those streets, that corridor is already a familiar part of the week. People in their late teens and twenties here are often at the stage where relationships are new, housing is shared, and a $712 monthly rent leaves little room for anything that feels like an extra errand, let alone a clinic visit that might require half a day off work.
That cost pressure matters more than it might look on paper. With roughly a third of residents renting and nearly one in five households clearing six figures, the economic spread in Tillmans Corner is genuinely wide. Households average more than three people, which means that in many cases younger adults are navigating testing around shared schedules, one car, and a labor market where participation is solid but not universal. For that segment of the population, the under-35 crowd most likely to encounter a new STI exposure, access that bends around their actual constraints is what makes screening realistic rather than aspirational.
The options listed on this page serve the area in and around Tillmans Corner, and several require a drive rather than a short walk from Suburban Heights or Theodore. Knowing which location has evening or weekend availability, and plotting it against your route on Government Boulevard, is often the practical thing that converts a deferred plan into a kept appointment.
Getting there
At 5.58/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Tillmans Corner generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In Alabama, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
