Spanish and Interpreted Care Are Staffed Directly

Cabun carries Spanish-language capacity on staff and arranges interpretation for other languages as part of scheduling: meaning clinical conversations, consent, and follow-up instructions happen in the language the appointment is built around, not added on after the fact.

Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through This Clinic

After a hepatitis C antibody test confirms infection, Cabun's clinical team prescribes and monitors antiviral treatment on-site. The full course managed here rather than handed off to a specialist for initiation.

Eight Distinct Infections Covered in One Panel

The testing panel at Cabun spans eight infections: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, TB, and hepatitis A, B, and C. Herpes serology and all three hepatitis markers are included by default, conditions that narrower panels routinely omit.

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.

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.
