How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Every Visit, Every Service, No Charge
Five Horizons provides all of its services at no fee, which means the same visit that delivers a rapid HIV result can also start PrEP, administer an HPV vaccine, and close with STI treatment, without a single line-item cost separating any of it.
HIV Care Doesn't Stop at the Test Result
Many testing sites hand off a positive HIV result with nothing more than next steps on paper. Five Horizons, backed by Ryan White funding, carries HIV care from initial testing through sustained medical treatment. The same clinic manages what comes after diagnosis, not a separate provider.
Title X Covers Minors with Full Legal Confidentiality
As a Title X-designated program, Five Horizons is legally required to keep family planning services for minors confidential. A federal protection, not a policy preference, that applies to the clinic's full range of Title X care.

A public safety-net rural health clinic about 5 miles from Adaton. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
North Mississippi Health Services in Starkville pairs same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis) with testing across a full panel, on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Appointments are required, and Spanish-language care is available on-site.

Herpes and Hepatitis Aren't Afterthoughts Here
Plenty of clinics test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, and stop there, leaving herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C to a separate appointment somewhere else. North Mississippi Health Services runs all of those on the same panel, so a single visit surfaces what a narrower screen would miss.
PrEP Is Prescribed and Monitored In-House
North Mississippi Health Services prescribes PrEP and PEP directly, with the clinical monitoring (baseline HIV and kidney-function testing, follow-up labs, medication management) handled by staff here. That means ongoing PrEP users have a single prescribing relationship rather than a fragmented one split across providers.
Spanish Care Without a Second Appointment
When a language barrier means a patient can't fully absorb a diagnosis or treatment plan, the real cost is an infection that goes unmanaged or a follow-up that never happens. At North Mississippi Health Services in Starkville, Spanish-language care is built into the clinical encounter itself, so nothing gets lost between the test result and the treatment.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 5 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Adaton, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Oktibbeha County tests for syphilis.

Getting tested for sexually transmitted infections in Adaton means looking beyond immediate surroundings. The town itself has no dedicated STI clinic, so residents typically seek screening through telehealth providers, nearby urgent care facilities, or sexual health services in larger regional centers. That distance is real, and it shapes how people plan. Some choose mail-in testing kits for privacy and convenience; others schedule appointments in advance to make the trip worthwhile.
The clinics and testing services listed on this page include both remote options and physical locations within reach of Adaton. The confidentiality that matters most to young adults (those navigating early careers, new relationships, or simply taking routine health seriously) is genuinely available here. Telehealth visits leave no paper trail at a local front desk. Private lab work stays between you and your results.
That separation between testing and your visible community is often exactly what people need to move forward without friction or hesitation. Adaton's character includes plenty of single professionals and independent households for whom sexual health screening is straightforward self-care, not something tied to family planning or partnership milestones. The resources listed on this page reflect both the reality of distance and the real options (confidential, accessible, and unhurried) that let residents get answers on their own terms.

Confidentiality & consent in MississippiMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Mississippi 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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Mississippi, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Mississippi 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.
