Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 4 reviews

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.

PrEP and PEP Dispensed Without the Extra Stop

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.

Herpes and Three Hepatitis Tests Expand the Panel

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.

STDs & HIV in Arkansas County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Arkansas County, the county that includes Gillett, compare with Arkansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~15% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

Among Arkansas County residents living with HIV, 23.5% are in care · 11.8% are virally suppressed.

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 Arkansas County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Gillett, AR

Gillett's health landscape includes STI testing services accessible in and around town for anyone seeking screening: whether as part of routine care, before a new relationship, or after exposure. Young adults in the community have particular reason to know where testing happens: this age group benefits from regular confidential checks, and having a clear path to a provider removes a barrier that can otherwise delay care. Testing clinics and urgent-care settings in the area keep records private and separate from employment, school, or family files. The process itself is straightforward: staff explain what to expect, answer questions without judgment, and return results within days.

Many people discover that a single visit clarifies their status and, if needed, opens a conversation with a healthcare provider about treatment or prevention. Local providers understand that discretion matters in a smaller community. Whether you're new to the area, reconnecting with someone, or simply building a health routine, the testing sites listed on this page offer the same confidentiality standards as any clinic elsewhere.

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.
