Rated 4 out of 5 from 5 reviews

Cabun Rural Health Services in Lewisville runs on scheduled appointments, so arriving with a plan means leaving with answers: the standard panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, vaccines, and sliding-scale fees on everything. With Spanish and interpretation services available.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish and Interpretation Services Are Clinical Tools Here

Describing symptoms accurately, understanding a diagnosis, and weighing treatment options all depend on language. Not just logistics. Cabun Rural Health Services in Lewisville carries Spanish fluency and broader interpretation access as standing clinical capacity, which matters most for patients whose primary care conversation has always been filtered or abbreviated.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Stay in One Place

When hepatitis C treatment requires a separate specialist, the gap between a positive test and a prescription can stretch into months, and in a rural setting, that second appointment is often hours away. Cabun Rural Health Services in Lewisville treats hepatitis C on-site, closing that gap before it opens.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel

For anyone without a regular provider who needs a complete picture rather than a partial one, Cabun Rural Health Services in Lewisville tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C in addition to the standard four. A single appointment covers exposures that a bare-bones panel would leave unaddressed.

STDs & HIV in Miller County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Miller County, the county that includes Garland, 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 Miller County tests for syphilis.

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.
