How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Mississippi State Department of Health

8705 Northwest Drive, Building A Suite 1 Southaven, MS 38671
Northeast Mississippi Health Care in Southaven tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, treating bacterial infections the same visit when results call for it. Fees follow a sliding scale, with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance all accepted; an appointment is required.
Oak Street Health in Memphis requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks a full visit covering rapid and conventional HIV testing, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, TB, same-visit bacterial treatment, and PrEP. On a sliding-scale fee, with care available in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested, Not Tracked Down Later
Leaving Oak Street Health without answers on herpes or hepatitis B and C means scheduling another appointment, paying another fee, and waiting again for results that should have come the first time. Oak Street Health tests for all of them alongside the core bacterial infections, one visit closes the loop.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site in Memphis
Oak Street Health carries both daily oral PrEP and PEP within its standing clinical services: meaning the prescription, the baseline labs, and the follow-up monitoring that PrEP requires are handled by the same provider rather than split across separate appointments at separate practices.
Spanish-Language Care With the Prescribing Provider
For someone navigating PrEP adherence, a new diagnosis, or a treatment plan entirely in Spanish, the clinically meaningful difference at Oak Street Health is direct: the care itself is delivered in Spanish, not relayed through a secondary channel, so nothing is lost between question and answer.
Memphis Health Center brings community health center depth to STI care in Memphis, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, TB, and rapid and conventional HIV testing on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. All with Spanish and interpretation services on hand.

Spanish and Interpretation Keep Care Moving
Without language support woven into the visit itself, a diagnosis can stall: questions go unasked, treatment instructions land wrong, and follow-through suffers. At Memphis Health Center, Spanish speakers and patients needing interpretation meet that support directly in the exam room, so nothing between diagnosis and completed treatment gets lost.
PrEP and PEP Are Part of the Standing Care Menu
Memphis Health Center prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means a patient can move from testing and counseling straight into a prevention regimen. No separate appointment at a different practice to get the medication that makes the testing meaningful.
Hepatitis C Treatment Completes Here
For anyone without a regular provider, or paying cash and unwilling to chain together multiple specialist visits, Memphis Health Center handles hepatitis C treatment directly on-site, carrying the case from antibody test through the medication itself without bouncing patients to another address.

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 DeSoto County residents living with HIV, 69.8% are in care · 58.6% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Pregnant or planning to be?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 DeSoto County tests for syphilis.

De Soto Woods households tend to run large, several people sharing a modest space, splitting a rent check that still claims a real slice of a modest paycheck. That density, and the economic tightness that comes with it, shapes the everyday calculus people make about health care: whether to take a half-day from work, whether a copay fits this month's budget, whether the errand feels urgent enough to bother. A meaningful share of Horn Lake's adults are either between jobs or working schedules that leave little room, and with nearly half the city renting rather than owning, stability isn't something everyone can count on from month to month. Those pressures land hardest on people in their late teens and twenties: the years when STI rates peak, relationships shift, and annual screening tends to feel like the least pressing thing on a packed list.
It's a planned trip, usually a drive, that has to be carved out of an already tight day. The clinics listed on this page reflect that reality. Choosing one that fits the drive from Southaven, accepts the coverage you actually have, and opens before or after a work shift turns screening from an intention into something that happens before the week closes.

Confidentiality & consent in MississippiMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Mississippi 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 Mississippi, 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)
Mississippi 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.
