Language Access Built Into Every Appointment

Without interpretation woven into a clinical visit, key details (symptom timelines, dosing instructions, follow-up thresholds) get compressed or skipped entirely, and gaps in understanding become gaps in treatment. ARcare in Hazen provides interpretation services for non-English languages directly within appointments, so nothing that affects your care gets lost between languages.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored On-Site

ARcare in Hazen prescribes and monitors both PrEP and PEP in-house, PrEP requires the baseline HIV and kidney-function labs, then recurring tests every three months to keep the prescription active, all of which happen at the same clinic. PEP is similarly managed through the full course, with the follow-up HIV testing that a proper PEP protocol demands.

Hepatitis C Treatment Delivered, Not Deferred

ARcare in Hazen holds on-site hepatitis C treatment capability, meaning someone without a specialist or a regular provider can move from antibody test to genotyping to antiviral prescription within the same practice. For anyone managing cash costs or navigating care without an established specialist relationship, that continuity inside one clinic is the practical difference between a course of treatment and an open diagnosis.

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.
