Spanish Speakers Served by On-Staff Bilingual Capacity

Cabun Rural Health Services maintains Spanish-language services and interpretation access as part of its clinical staffing, not an add-on arranged after scheduling. That means the intake, counseling, and treatment conversation happen in the language the provider and patient share. No relay, no delay in the room.

The Panel Includes Herpes, Hepatitis A, B, and C

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Cabun's testing protocol extends to herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C: each ordered, collected, and followed up through the same clinic. That means results and any necessary management, including hepatitis counseling, stay within a single care relationship rather than scattered across referrals.

Spanish-Language Care Staffed, Not Patched Together

Spanish-language services at the Arkansas Department of Health in Fordyce are built into clinical operations: counseling, test results, and treatment conversations happen directly in Spanish rather than routed through an add-on service. That means a patient's care is delivered, not mediated.

Herpes and Hepatitis Are on the Standard Panel

Arkansas Department of Health in Fordyce tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the bacterial and viral STI panel, which means a single visit can surface infections that a narrower screen would leave undetected and unaddressed.

STDs & HIV in Calhoun County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Calhoun County, the county that includes Hopeville, 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.

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.
