KDMC Medical Clinic in Brookhaven pairs rapid and conventional HIV testing with gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis screening; bacterial STI treatment happens the same visit. Fees are charged on a sliding scale, with Medicaid and Medicare accepted. The clinic also provides PrEP and PEP for ongoing prevention.
Without a clinic that prescribes PrEP directly, the gap between a negative test and a filled prescription can stretch into weeks. Enough time for circumstances to change. KDMC Medical Clinic writes and manages PrEP and PEP on-site, so prevention starts at the same appointment where risk is assessed, not at a separate facility on a separate timeline.
KDMC's panel extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis B, infections whose absence from a basic four-test workup can leave someone unknowingly carrying a chronic condition. Hepatitis B treatment is also managed on-site, meaning a reactive result moves directly into care rather than generating a separate specialist referral.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Lincoln County, the county that includes Brookhaven, 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.
#67 of 82 Mississippi counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 18% of the state
| Infection | Lincoln County | Mississippi | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 423.6 147 cases ▼ 40% | 700.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 149.8 52 cases ▼ 40% | 251.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 23.1 8 cases ▼ 23% | 30.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 28.8 10 cases ▲ 77% | 16.3 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 51.9 18 cases ▼ 20% | 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 Lincoln County, chlamydia has fallen from 578.7 to 423.6 per 100,000 (27%), gonorrhea has fallen from 338 to 149.8 per 100,000 (56%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 17.2 to 23.1 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 Lincoln County.

Lincoln County HIV care continuum (2021)
Lincoln County recorded 17 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 21.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Lincoln County residents living with HIV, 78.7% are in care · 62.3% 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 Lincoln County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Brookhaven City Park sits at the easy center of a town where most households are owner-occupied and rooted, the kind of place where people have lived on the same street for decades and community ties run deep. That stability is real, but it doesn't mean everyone's financial footing is comfortable. With typical rents around $720 a month and a meaningful share of residents outside the labor force entirely, a lot of people here are managing tight monthly budgets, and a clinic visit that costs time or money they don't have tends to get quietly set aside. Every testing appointment means finding a car, arranging a ride, or carving time out of a work schedule during business hours.
With unemployment running notably high, some residents have flexibility in their days, but others in hourly jobs face the opposite problem: missing a shift to get screened is a cost they feel immediately. The testing options listed on this page span a range of fees and hours precisely because no single option fits every household in Lincoln County. Checking which clinic opens earliest, or charges least, before you go is the step that turns intent into a kept appointment here in Brookhaven.
Getting there
At 5.93/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Brookhaven generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
