As of 2017, there were 163 newly recorded cases of HIV in Sumner County in individuals aged 13 and over, with the largest number of new diagnoses being those aged 25-34 years. Overall, however, the rate of HIV transmissions has declined since 2013 by almost 10%, despite budget challenges in the county that have seen clinics close and resources become stretched thin. Males in particular are over-represented in new transmission rates in Sumner County, and the Department of Health strongly recommends STD testing to protect yourself and your partner.
As one of the healthiest counties in Tennessee, Sumner County is dedicated to reducing the transmission of HIV, and providing safe, confidential treatment for those affected.
The Sumner County Health Department Hendersonville Clinic is located centrally on New Shackle Island Road, Hendersonville. The clinic provides a range of testing and services with the central aim of reducing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in Tennessee. It is recommended that you contact the clinic to discuss applicable costs and any eligibility requirements.
Additional Department of Health clinics are located in Gallatin (about 20 minutes drive) and Portland (approximately 35 minutes drive). All centers operate Monday to Friday and employ professional, sensitive staff.
None of the clinics currently offer free STD testing, and wait times can be lengthy at Department of Health clinics.
Another option may be the Lentz Public Health Center in Nashville, approximately 25 minutes drive from Hendersonville. The center offers HIV testing and treatment, and the service fee is based on family income. However, the distance from Hendersonville could be an obstacle for those without transport.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.
