STDs & HIV in Johnson County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Johnson County, the county that includes Clarksville, compare with Arkansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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 Johnson County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Clarksville, AR

US 64 stretches through Clarksville as both West Main Street and East Main Street, and for anyone without a car, reaching the nearest clinic listed here means finding a ride rather than walking out the door. That access gap matters most for younger adults still forming relationships and building routines, the years when STI rates run highest and when a complicated trip is the easiest reason to postpone an appointment.

About half of Clarksville residents rent, with typical monthly costs low enough that out-of-pocket testing fees are manageable for many households, though the options listed on this page vary widely in price. The other half own their homes, and with an average household size that reflects plenty of families and couples under one roof, sexual health decisions rarely belong to just one person. A little over four in ten adults here are married, meaning conversations about testing often happen between partners, not just individuals.

With fewer than six in ten residents in the active labor force, schedules across the city look different from what national averages suggest: some people have more daytime flexibility than a typical nine-to-five city, while others carry the full economic weight of a large household on a single income. Knowing which clinics listed here offer weekend or walk-in hours, and how far out on US 64 a visit actually lands, is the practical starting point for households working around those realities.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Clarksville often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Arkansas

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Arkansas, 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)

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.
