STD Testing in Tennessee - What You Need to Know
How Common Are STDs in Tennessee?
Tennessee is the Volunteer State — a state where Nashville's honky-tonks and country music legacy meet Memphis's blues heritage on Beale Street, where the Great Smoky Mountains draw more visitors than any other national park in the country, and where three distinct grand divisions — West, Middle, and East Tennessee — each carry their own economy, culture, and identity. With roughly 7 million residents, Tennessee is home to Vanderbilt, the University of Tennessee, FedEx's global headquarters, and a healthcare industry that ranks among the largest in the nation.
That three-city structure distributes Tennessee's STI burden across the state. Memphis ranks #1 nationally among all U.S. cities for combined STI rate at 1,460 cases per 100,000 — driven by deep poverty in North Memphis, Orange Mound, and Whitehaven alongside HIV prevalence rates placing Memphis among the top 20 U.S. cities for new diagnoses. Nashville ranks #39 nationally at 828 per 100,000 and has seen syphilis cases surge alongside explosive population growth of over 100 new residents per day between 2015 and 2023. Knox County (Knoxville) ranks #71 at 609 per 100,000, anchoring East Tennessee's burden alongside the broader Appalachian opioid crisis in surrounding counties. Fort Campbell on the Kentucky border is home to the 101st Airborne Division, and Montgomery County (Clarksville) ranks #2 statewide for STI rates — making confidential, private testing a practical option across the state.
Tennessee STD Rates: By the Numbers
Tennessee ranks among the top ten states nationally for multiple STD categories, anchored by Memphis's #1 city ranking. According to CDC surveillance data and the Tennessee Department of Health:
• Tennessee ranks #8 nationally for chlamydia at 555.1 per 100,000 and #9 for gonorrhea at 270.3 per 100,000, placing it consistently above the national average across both major bacterial STDs
• Memphis ranks #1 nationally among all U.S. cities for combined STI rate at 1,460 cases per 100,000 — with 9,681 chlamydia and 4,772 gonorrhea cases — while Shelby County records chlamydia at 1,115 per 100,000, more than double the statewide rate
• Nashville ranks #39 nationally at 828 per 100,000, reporting 9,753 chlamydia, 4,451 gonorrhea, 410 syphilis, and 135 HIV cases — with syphilis surging alongside explosive population growth
• Shelby County carries the state's highest syphilis rate at 172.2 per 100,000, followed by Davidson County (Nashville) at 90.7 per 100,000 — together accounting for roughly half of all primary and secondary syphilis statewide
• Tennessee ranks #20 for primary and secondary syphilis and #18 for congenital syphilis, with 861 syphilis-HIV co-infections documented in 2023 alone
• Montgomery County (Clarksville/Fort Campbell) ranks #2 statewide for STI rates, while the Appalachian opioid crisis in East Tennessee counties drives co-occurring STI and HIV transmission in communities with minimal harm reduction infrastructure
• Many infections show no symptoms — making routine testing the only reliable way to know your status
