Spanish Is a Working Clinical Language Here

Spanish-language services at Cabun Rural Health Services extend through the full clinical encounter (history, results, and treatment planning) which means nothing gets compressed or lost in the hand-off between what a clinician explains and what a patient acts on.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Stay Here

Cabun Rural Health Services carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, which means the same clinical relationship that confirms a diagnosis also manages the antiviral course. Direct-acting antivirals, when indicated, are handled within the clinic rather than passed to a separate specialty setting.

Herpes and Hepatitis A, B, and C Are on the Panel

The panel at Cabun Rural Health Services includes herpes and all three hepatitis types (A, B, and C) alongside the bacterial STIs and TB, so a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower four-pathogen screen would leave unexamined.

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.

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 Clark County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Amity, AR

Lyons Mountain and Sugarloaf Knob frame a town where housing costs stay genuinely low: homes here hold values well below state norms, and typical rents hover under six hundred dollars a month. That affordability draws a mix of long-rooted owners and a substantial share of renters, two groups whose daily rhythms often look quite different. With a notable portion of households headed by a single earner or unmarried adult, and average households running larger than the national mean, decisions about health care tend to get weighed against competing demands on both time and money.

For younger adults still building relationships and navigating the years that carry the highest rates of new STI diagnoses, that combination of a full work week and real driving distance can turn a routine screening into something that keeps getting rescheduled. The options listed on this page account for that reality, offering a range of hours and fee structures that don't assume everyone has a flexible afternoon free. Clark County's STI landscape gives residents a clear reason to look past convenience and just make the appointment, the closest option listed here is worth the drive.

Confidentiality & consent in Arkansas

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Arkansas 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 Arkansas, 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)

Arkansas 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.
