Mid-Delta Health Systems in Dewitt schedules appointments for STI care, so arrive with a time confirmed, and that single visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, sliding-scale fees for all, and PrEP and PEP for prevention.
Chasing a PrEP or PEP prescription across two providers means delays that erase the clinical value of both. Mid-Delta Health Systems handles prescribing directly: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention is initiated and managed on-site, and PEP is available through the same clinical relationship, no separate referral chain required.
Beyond the standard four, Mid-Delta Health Systems tests for herpes simplex and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) in a single appointment. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also administered on-site, so gaps in immunity identified by testing can be closed the same visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Arkansas County, the county that includes DeWitt, compare with Arkansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#27 of 75 Arkansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 64% of the state
| Infection | Arkansas County | Arkansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 576.4 94 cases ▼ 1% | 579.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 226.9 37 cases ▲ 17% | 193.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.4 3 cases ▼ 37% | 29.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.1 1 cases ▼ 65% | 17.3 | 16 |

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 Arkansas County, chlamydia has fallen from 583.1 to 576.4 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 268.2 to 226.9 per 100,000 (15%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 11.7 to 18.4 per 100,000 (57%).

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 Arkansas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Arkansas is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Arkansas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Arkansas County recorded 36.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Arkansas County residents living with HIV, 23.5% are in care · 11.8% 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 Arkansas County tests for syphilis.

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).
In Arkansas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
