Rated 2.3 out of 5 from 4 reviews

Family Health Care Clinic in Winona runs STI care through a family practice model, pairing gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C testing with same-visit bacterial treatment on a sliding-scale fee open to all, by appointment, with Spanish and interpretation services on hand.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish and Interpretation Spoken Into Every Visit

Family Health Care Clinic offers Spanish-language services alongside interpretation for other languages, which means counseling, treatment instructions, and PrEP education land with the same clinical precision regardless of the language a patient uses. Nothing filtered through a secondary step.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed Here Directly

Family Health Care Clinic carries PrEP and PEP as standing clinical services, available to anyone whose prevention needs call for them, with sliding-scale fees that make ongoing medication access realistic for cash-paying patients who don't have a separate HIV specialist.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Start to Finish Here

Family Health Care Clinic treats hepatitis C on-site, meaning curative antiviral therapy, not just a confirmed diagnosis, happens within the same practice, so patients don't carry a positive result to a separate specialist before treatment begins.

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 Carroll County tests for syphilis.

About Carrollton, MS

Carrollton's Merrill Museum neighborhood anchors a town where most households are owner-occupied, rooted families with larger-than-average sizes and a majority of married adults, the kind of community where people tend to know their neighbors and stay for decades. That stability is real, but it coexists with a labor-force picture where a meaningful share of adults are outside the formal workforce entirely, meaning schedules here are not always the nine-to-five patterns that make a weekday clinic appointment straightforward to plan. Young adults in their late teens and twenties represent a smaller slice of Carrollton than in larger Mississippi cities, yet that age range is exactly where chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other infections concentrate most heavily, and Carroll County's rate figures on this page reflect that national pattern locally.

For anyone in that stage of life, the practical calculus of getting tested often comes down to whether an option exists that fits around work, family obligations, or simply the distance required to reach it. That range matters because a person caring for a household of three or four, or managing a non-standard schedule, needs choices, not a single appointment type. Residents near the quieter stretches outside Carrollton's center will find that the spread of listed options gives them a realistic starting point rather than a single take-it-or-leave-it clinic.

Confidentiality & consent in Mississippi

Minor 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.
