Mt. Pleasant Family HLTH Clinic in Holly Springs earned its federally qualified designation by tying fees to income, no one is turned away for inability to pay. Walk-ins can access sliding-scale STI screening for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia without an appointment.
Memphis Health Center in Rossville is a community health center where STI care (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C) runs on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit bacterial treatment; appointments are required, and Spanish and interpretation services are available.

Spanish and Interpretation Built Into Every Visit
Memphis Health Center offers Spanish-language services and interpretation for other languages, which means test results, medication instructions, and prevention counseling reach patients in full, not in outline, reducing the chance that something critical gets lost between the exam room and home.
PrEP and PEP Available Without a Separate Referral Appointment
Without PrEP and PEP available at the same clinic handling your STI care, prevention medications become a separate errand. Another provider, another wait, another gap. Memphis Health Center prescribes both, keeping prevention and testing in the same clinical relationship, with PrEP covered for uninsured patients.
Hepatitis C Treatment Prescribed and Monitored On-Site
At Memphis Health Center, a hepatitis C diagnosis leads directly to treatment: antiviral medication is prescribed and the treatment course is monitored by the clinic's own staff, so the path from a reactive test to viral clearance stays within one care team rather than handed off elsewhere.
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 less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Byhalia, 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.

Among Marshall County residents living with HIV, 76.4% are in care · 68.5% 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 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.
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 Marshall County tests for syphilis.

Henry School anchors the older residential stretch of Byhalia, and the community around it reflects something the numbers on this page can't fully capture: households here tend to be larger than average, multigenerational, and more often unmarried: meaning health decisions, including when and whether to get screened, rarely happen in isolation. With roughly half of residents renting at some of the more modest rents in the region and the other half owning homes whose values reflect a working-class economy, most people are managing tight budgets without a lot of slack for unexpected medical appointments. Labor-force participation is notably lower than state and national norms, and unemployment runs high. A combination that means schedules aren't always predictable in the way a 9-to-5 would allow. For young adults in their late teens and twenties, that economic uncertainty can make the distance and cost of a clinic visit feel genuinely prohibitive.
Byhalia offers no walking access to services; getting tested means a car trip, and for a household stretched thin, that trip can quietly fall off the list. The options listed on this page pull from the broader Marshall County area. Given what the county's STI figures show, staying current on screening isn't an abstract precaution for someone living here. It's a direct response to documented local transmission patterns that affect real neighbors.

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.
