STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jones County, the county that includes Ellisville, compare with Mississippi and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~34% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#32 of 82 Mississippi counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 61% of the state
| Infection | Jones County | Mississippi | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 730.6 484 cases ▲ 4% | 700.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 283.8 188 cases ▲ 13% | 251.1 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 51.3 34 cases ▲ 70% | 30.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 15.1 10 cases ▼ 7% | 16.3 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 24.2 16 cases ▼ 63% | 64.8 | 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 Jones County, chlamydia has fallen from 896.7 to 730.6 per 100,000 (19%), gonorrhea has fallen from 565.1 to 283.8 per 100,000 (50%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 74.4 to 51.3 per 100,000 (31%).

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 Jones County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Mississippi 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.
Jones County HIV care continuum (2022)
Jones County recorded 18.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 21.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jones County residents living with HIV, 72.4% are in care · 59.8% 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 Jones County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Ellisville's mix of tree-lined neighborhoods and open spaces draws both long-rooted families and people starting fresh, which means the town holds residents at every stage of adult life. Young adults here, whether they've just moved to The Village or put down roots near Community Bank Park, benefit from quiet, straightforward access to STI testing without fanfare or wait. Screening fits into ordinary health care when it's nearby and discreet, and clinics and providers in and around Ellisville listed on this page understand that confidentiality isn't theater; it's how people actually stay on top of their sexual health. Testing sites here serve a town where many households are built differently, single people living alone, adult siblings sharing a home, retirees, people between chapters.
That diversity means no one walks into a clinic feeling like an outlier. Results remain confidential by law and by practice, which matters in a place where you might run into someone you know at the grocery store but need to know your status is yours alone. The practicality is straightforward: routine screening catches infections early, when treatment is simple and side effects vanish quickly. Whether you're new to the area or have always been here, testing in Ellisville is available without judgment or delay.

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