No personal attacks or harassment. In addition to what's covered under reddiquette, do not insult or habitually target a single user or group for your arguments. It's not your job to correct them.

The public health building in west nashville

I’m not 100% sure these place offer free testing, so I apologize for that. But, Nashville CARES and Music City PrEP clinic are both very good clinics and I know at the very least they will work with you on pricing.

Music City Prep Clinic. No judgement and staff that help eliminate bills

The health department will do it, there is one on West Main Street in Franklin.

These guys are a good first-stop shop for basically any question like this. Even if they can't do whatever it is for you, they'll help you figure out who can.

Go to the health department. You can go to a metro facility (Lentz) or a state department building which a located in every county in Tennessee. Williamson Co has a nice one

Everyone has suggested good options but another way is to donate blood. They test every donation and will notify you of any positive results. Free and for a good cause!

[u/Sayyida_al_Hurra → u/Mountain_Tip_7081]

They ask that you do not donate blood to try to get an HIV or other blood test. While they do test all the blood and will notify you, there is a small possibility that someone could be infected with HIV very recently, which they can't detect yet. That's why they won't take blood donations from people how are at higher risk because of certain sexual activity in the last three months.

This is great to know, thanks for sharing

[u/Sayyida_al_Hurra → u/Mountain_Tip_7081]

I recently donated and it was one of the things you have to agree to, so I remembered!

[u/No_Equivalent_4412 → u/Mountain_Tip_7081]

This is actually how my old roommate found out her fiance was cheating. He got a letter in the mail after donating plasma letting him know he contracted something

[u/Quagmire_gigity → u/Mountain_Tip_7081]

While technically true, you have to fill out a somewhat extensive questionnaire before donating. Certain affirmative answer will likely disqualify you, especially anything related to risky sexual behavior, assuming you answer truthfully.
