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 Sharkey County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Cary, MS

Cary sits along US 61, Cypress Street through town, with a homeownership rate that signals deep roots and long-term residents rather than a transient population. The household picture adds texture. Large average households and a modest share of married adults together suggest that plenty of people in their late teens and twenties are navigating relationships, shared living, and sexual health decisions in a community where nearly one in ten working-age residents is currently unemployed.

When employment is uncertain and transportation requires a vehicle, a screening appointment can quietly lose out to more immediate demands: not from indifference, but from genuine scarcity of time and gas money. Cost coverage matters most for residents furthest from the $100k-household tier, which here is a thin slice of the population. Many of options listed on this page offer sliding-scale fees or federally subsidized visits: meaning the out-of-pocket cost for an uninsured or underinsured Cary resident can be close to zero, and at a typical local rent of $867 a month, that difference between a $0 visit and a $150 one is the kind of detail worth confirming before you make the drive down US 61.

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.
