Norton Healthcare Infectious Diseases Institute in Louisville schedules appointments for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and TB testing, covering the full panel in a single visit with sliding-scale fees, insurance, and Medicaid accepted, and bacterial infections treated the same day.
Without a practice that handles both prevention and infectious disease medicine, PrEP and PEP prescriptions often stall in the gap between a testing visit and a specialist who can write them. At Norton Healthcare Infectious Diseases Institute, that gap doesn't open. Prevention medication is prescribed and managed within the same clinical relationship that handles your testing and any ongoing HIV care.
After a reactive hepatitis C test, clinicians at Norton Healthcare Infectious Diseases Institute move directly into confirmatory RNA testing and, where indicated, prescribe antiviral therapy. Direct-acting antivirals are managed and monitored in-house, with follow-up viral-load checks to confirm clearance, all within the same infectious disease practice.
Norton Healthcare Infectious Diseases Institute tests for herpes and both hepatitis B and C alongside the core bacterial and viral panel, which means a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower screen would simply miss and leave unaddressed.

Park DuValle Community Health Center in Louisville requires an appointment, and that scheduled visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing alongside STI treatment, HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines, and PrEP. All on a sliding-scale fee open to anyone.
Park DuValle conducts STI care (testing, counseling, treatment planning, and PrEP conversations) directly in Spanish. That means clinical detail, medication instructions, and prevention decisions are communicated in Spanish by the care team itself, without a relay step between provider and patient.
Without on-site PrEP and PEP prescribing, a patient leaves with a recommendation but no medication, and every day between that conversation and a prescriber's appointment is unprotected. Park DuValle closes that gap: both PrEP and PEP are prescribed and managed at the same center where testing and counseling happen.

Music City PrEP Clinic in Louisville provides HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing on a sliding scale, with free HIV testing and no-fee options available, plus same-visit bacterial treatment, by appointment.
When a fee stands between a positive result and follow-up care, infections go unmanaged and spread. At Music City PrEP Clinic, testing, treatment, PrEP, PEP, and HIV medical management are all provided at no fee. The cost barrier that typically breaks the care chain simply does not exist here.
PrEP at Music City PrEP Clinic means a prescribed daily antiretroviral regimen paired with medication adherence counseling and ongoing medical oversight, not a starter pack handed off without follow-through. PEP is similarly managed as a clinical course, with the prescribing and monitoring handled on-site.
Leaving hepatitis off a testing panel means someone can carry an active infection, and transmit it, while believing they've had a thorough workup. Music City PrEP Clinic tests for hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial panel, so a single appointment resolves what a narrower panel would leave open.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jefferson County, the county that includes Woodlawn Park, compare with Kentucky and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#4 of 120 Kentucky counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 97% of the state
| Infection | Jefferson County | Kentucky | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 679.3 5,245 cases ▲ 78% | 381.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 339.4 2,621 cases ▲ 153% | 134.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 28.9 223 cases ▲ 105% | 14.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 32.8 253 cases ▲ 126% | 14.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 38.5 297 cases ▲ 104% | 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 Jefferson County, chlamydia has fallen from 721.5 to 679.3 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 362.8 to 339.4 per 100,000 (6%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 25 to 28.9 per 100,000 (16%).

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 Jefferson 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.
Jefferson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jefferson County recorded 28.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.4 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jefferson County residents living with HIV, 82.8% are in care · 71.9% 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 Jefferson County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Seneca Park anchors the northwest edge of Woodlawn Park the way few green spaces anchor a neighborhood, and for residents thinking about STI screening, that geography matters: the options listed on this page are reachable via Shelbyville Road or a quick run on I-264, but getting there still means carving out time during a workday or weekend.
That scheduling reality shapes how testing fits into life here. With nearly nine in ten households owning their homes and close to half of adults in married households, Woodlawn Park has a settled, rooted character, but rootedness does not make STI screening automatic or easy. Young adults in their late teens and twenties, a meaningful slice of the local population, often face the most demanding stretch of relationship formation and the least flexible daily schedules. The unemployment rate here is remarkably low, which reflects a community where most people are genuinely busy, not underemployed; when almost everyone is working, a midday clinic visit requires real planning, not just intention.
Roughly four in ten households here reach six-figure income, which eases the cost side of things for many, but the options listed on this page include sliding-scale and low-cost appointments that matter for the rest. For the 69 percent of residents in the workforce, the evening and weekend hours carried by several of these listings mean testing does not have to wait for a rare gap in a packed week.
Getting there
Woodlawn Park scores 13.54/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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 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.
