Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center in Edwards is a community health center, meaning STI care sits alongside primary and preventive medicine: appointments required, sliding-scale fees for all, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and care available in Spanish.
Leaving hepatitis off a panel means a second appointment, a second intake, and a gap where an active infection goes unaddressed. Jackson-Hinds tests for hepatitis A, B, and C in the same visit as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, so nothing requires a separate trip to close out.
PrEP at Jackson-Hinds means a prescribing provider, the follow-up labs, HIV testing and kidney function, built into ongoing care, and PEP available through the same clinical relationship. Both medications are managed by staff who already hold your medical history, not coordinated across separate providers.
Many clinics handle Spanish through external services that sit between patient and provider, flattening the clinical conversation. At Jackson-Hinds in Edwards, Spanish is a language of direct care: the kind where a provider and patient can work through symptoms, treatment options, and follow-up without a layer in between.

A community safety-net rural health clinic about 17 miles from Beechwood. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Tests offered
Medical Associates of Vicksburg books by appointment, so arriving means clinicians are ready: covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing in one visit, with bacterial STIs treated same-day, fees billed to insurance or scaled to income.
Prevention-focused prescribing often stalls at PrEP; post-exposure bacterial prevention through DoxyPEP rarely makes it onto a clinic's actual formulary. Medical Associates of Vicksburg prescribes all three (PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP) bringing doxycycline-based post-exposure prevention into the same practice that manages ongoing HIV prevention.
Hepatitis C treatment at Medical Associates of Vicksburg is a clinical function of the practice itself: antiviral therapy is initiated and managed on-site, meaning a confirmed infection moves directly into a treatment relationship without changing providers or facilities.
The testing panel runs deeper than gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV: Medical Associates of Vicksburg tests for hepatitis A, B, and C in the same appointment, then backs each positive finding with on-site treatment capacity for B and C and vaccination for A and B.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Warren County, the county that includes Beechwood, compare with Mississippi and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#15 of 82 Mississippi counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 82% of the state
| Infection | Warren County | Mississippi | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 997.7 422 cases ▲ 42% | 700.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 409 173 cases ▲ 63% | 251.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 23.6 10 cases ▼ 22% | 30.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16.5 7 cases ▲ 1% | 16.3 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 122.9 52 cases ▲ 90% | 64.8 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Warren County, chlamydia has fallen from 1059.9 to 997.7 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 592.5 to 409 per 100,000 (31%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 35.8 to 23.6 per 100,000 (34%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Warren County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Mississippi is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Warren County HIV care continuum (2023)
Warren County recorded 45.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 21.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Warren County residents living with HIV, 73.2% are in care · 56.5% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
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 Warren County tests for syphilis.

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).
In Mississippi, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
