Language Access Built Into Every Appointment

Without interpretation woven into a clinical visit, key details (symptom timelines, dosing instructions, follow-up thresholds) get compressed or skipped entirely, and gaps in understanding become gaps in treatment. ARcare in Hazen provides interpretation services for non-English languages directly within appointments, so nothing that affects your care gets lost between languages.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

ARcare in Hazen prescribes and monitors both PrEP and PEP in-house, PrEP requires the baseline HIV and kidney-function labs, then recurring tests every three months to keep the prescription active, all of which happen at the same clinic. PEP is similarly managed through the full course, with the follow-up HIV testing that a proper PEP protocol demands.

Hepatitis C Treatment Delivered, Not Deferred

ARcare in Hazen holds on-site hepatitis C treatment capability, meaning someone without a specialist or a regular provider can move from antibody test to genotyping to antiviral prescription within the same practice. For anyone managing cash costs or navigating care without an established specialist relationship, that continuity inside one clinic is the practical difference between a course of treatment and an open diagnosis.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 24 reviews

Mid-Delta Health Systems in Clarendon tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone; appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit. PrEP and PEP are both available here.

Read full overview Show less

Tenofovir-Based PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

Mid-Delta Health Systems carries PrEP, typically tenofovir-based daily oral medication, as an ongoing prescribing service, which means the follow-up labs and dosing continuity that PrEP requires stay inside the same clinic. PEP is also available for prevention, giving the practice a full pharmacological prevention toolkit.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares a Roof with STI Care

The overwhelming majority of STI clinics treat the infection and nothing else, leaving patients to navigate a separate system for substance-use care. Mid-Delta Health Systems in Clarendon breaks that pattern by folding substance-abuse treatment into the same practice, so those two intertwined health issues don't require two separate care relationships.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

For anyone without a regular primary-care provider, or paying cash and wanting to consolidate testing in one visit, Mid-Delta's panel covers herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and HIV tests, so gaps that a narrower clinic would leave unaddressed are answered here in a single appointment.

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.

Local context

About De Valls Bluff, AR

US 70 cuts straight through De Valls Bluff as Main Street, East Walnut, and Sportsman Drive. The same road wearing three names through a town where nearly six in ten households own their homes and a meaningful share of the rest are renting at rates that leave little cushion for discretionary medical appointments. With average households running close to three people and more than half of adults outside the labor force, the rhythms here don't match a standard nine-to-five clinic schedule, and the younger adults moving through their twenties (building relationships, figuring out living situations, navigating what healthcare they can actually afford) are precisely the people for whom a missed or delayed test can quietly compound.

That profile matters because Prairie County's STI picture is visible in the data already on this page, and the share of residents in the peak years for new diagnoses is real enough to warrant practical attention. Low rent keeps some financial pressure manageable, but it doesn't erase the cost of a visit when a household is already stretched.

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.
