Health Department

KCHD's Communicable Disease Control (CDC) Clinic focuses on preventing the spread of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and other communicable diseases in the community through testing and treatment of common STIs including:

One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of STIs is through contact tracing. Our Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS) team informs people who may have been exposed to an STI of their need to visit the clinic for testing and possible treatment. The CDC Clinic partners with our Tuberculosis Program and Center of Excellence Clinic for treatment of TB and HIV. All services are confidential, and we offer a safe, personal and comfortable place for our community to get the services they need.

*Genital Herpes testing is only completed for active symptoms. Blood tests are not available through the clinic.
**TB testing for employment or school purposes is not available through the clinic. TB testing for school purposes is available at our West Clinic location. Please call 865-215-5950 for more information.
