Available testing centers

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.

ARcare in McCrory tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee with insurance and Medicaid accepted; bacterial STIs are treated same visit, and appointments are required.
ARcare carries the full hepatitis C continuum, antiviral treatment and ongoing monitoring, within the same clinical setting where the diagnosis is made. That means a reactive result moves directly into a treatment plan rather than pausing at confirmation, closing the gap where chronic infection most often goes unaddressed.
When HIV prevention depends on a second appointment at a different facility, medication often goes unprescribed: coverage lapses, follow-up visits don't happen, and protection never starts. ARcare prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site in McCrory, keeping the prevention continuum intact at the clinic where patients already receive care.
ARcare maintains access to interpretation services for non-English languages across clinical encounters, not as an external add-on arranged after arrival, but as a staffed capability built into how care is delivered. That operational fact means medication adherence counseling, treatment planning, and prevention education can proceed with full comprehension from the first appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jackson County, the county that includes Beedeville, compare with Arkansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#19 of 75 Arkansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 75% of the state
| Infection | Jackson County | Arkansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 691.1 116 cases ▲ 19% | 579.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 196.6 33 cases ▲ 2% | 193.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 35.7 6 cases ▲ 22% | 29.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 65.5 11 cases ▲ 279% | 17.3 | 16 |

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 Jackson County, chlamydia has risen from 573 to 691.1 per 100,000 (21%), gonorrhea has fallen from 310.4 to 196.6 per 100,000 (37%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 23.9 to 35.7 per 100,000 (49%).

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 Jackson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Arkansas 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.
Jackson County HIV care continuum (2020)
Jackson County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jackson County residents living with HIV, 11.1% are in care · 11.1% 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 Jackson County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Beedeville's name carries the legacy of early settlers and the agricultural character that still marks Jackson County. That same spirit of practical self-reliance, looking after what matters, extends to sexual health today. Young adults here, a substantial presence across the town, often seek STI testing without fanfare, and the clinics and providers listed on this page understand that straightforward screening is part of ordinary healthcare, not a crisis measure. Confidentiality in a smaller community requires real attention, and testing services in and around Beedeville take that seriously. Results belong to you alone; clinic staff do not contact employers, schools, or family members without explicit consent.
If you're navigating a new relationship, recovering from a lapse in protection, or simply keeping current with routine screening, the same privacy standard applies whether you test today or six months from now. The range of testing available locally, from rapid results to comprehensive panels, means you can choose an approach that fits your schedule and comfort level. Many people find that getting tested once removes the weight of uncertainty; others make it an annual habit. Either way, knowing your status is knowledge you keep, use, and act on as you see fit.

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