Louisiana Department of Health in Rayville tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee, with appointments required; bacterial infections are treated the same visit, and HPV, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines are available alongside care delivered in Spanish.
Spanish-language services run through the full visit here (testing, HIV counseling, and STI prevention education included) so a patient who reasons through health decisions in Spanish receives the same depth of conversation, not a condensed version of it.
Beyond gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV, the clinic runs herpes testing as part of its standard diagnostic work. That means a clinician can order and interpret the herpes result in-house, the same appointment where bacterial STIs would be treated directly.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Richland Parish, the parish that includes Delhi, compare with Louisiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#17 of 64 Louisiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 73% of the state
| Infection | Richland Parish | Louisiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 872.6 172 cases ▲ 10% | 792.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 243.5 48 cases ▼ 16% | 288.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 30.4 6 cases ▲ 16% | 26.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.1 2 cases ▼ 48% | 19.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 71 14 cases ▲ 35% | 52.6 | 29.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Richland Parish, chlamydia has risen from 843.2 to 872.6 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 399.1 to 243.5 per 100,000 (39%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5 to 30.4 per 100,000 (508%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Richland Parish.
Local HIV snapshot
Richland Parish HIV care continuum (2023)
Richland Parish recorded 36.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Richland Parish residents living with HIV, 81% are in care · 71.4% 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 AtlasPlus · 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.
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 Richland Parish tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Broadway Street cuts through the older residential core of Delhi, where households tend to run large and a meaningful share of adults are renting rather than owning. A budget reality that makes a $638 monthly payment stretch hard against anything unexpected, including a clinic visit. For younger adults still sorting out relationships, jobs, and coverage, that cost pressure is real: when a test feels like one more expense on a tight month, it tends to wait. The labor-force picture adds another layer.
With a notable share of working-age residents outside the formal workforce entirely, schedules here are uneven. Some people have flexibility, others are locked into hourly shifts with no paid time off. The options listed on this page span a range of hours and fee structures precisely because no single window works for everyone in a town like Delhi. What changes everything, though, is the drive.
That means getting screened requires planning a trip, not just a few spare minutes. Knowing ahead of time which listed option is closest, what its hours are, and whether a sliding-scale fee applies turns a vague intention into something a person can actually schedule around a run down East 1st Street on the way home.
Getting there
At 5.05/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Delhi generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Louisiana 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).
In Louisiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Louisiana 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.
