McDonald County Health Department in Pineville runs appointments-only STI care covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis C, and TB, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections: all on a sliding scale and, for HIV and STI testing, at no charge.
HIV and STI testing are free outright, and the fee structure for every other service at McDonald County Health Department runs through a sliding scale. Meaning no service carries a fixed price that excludes anyone. Vaccines, TB screening, family planning: each falls under the same no-floor cost framework.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, McDonald County Health Department tests for hepatitis C antibodies and runs TB screening. Infections whose detection typically requires a separate clinical visit elsewhere. Both are built into the appointment alongside the conventional HIV test, so a single scheduled visit produces results across six distinct pathogen categories.

Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Bella Vista runs STI testing through urgent-care infrastructure, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB on a walk-in basis with no appointment needed, fees billed to insurance or charged at standard urgent-care rates.
Chasing a herpes or hepatitis diagnosis through a second provider means another copay, another wait, and an untreated stretch in between. Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Bella Vista tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains alongside the core bacterial panel, so one visit produces the full picture rather than a partial answer that sends you elsewhere.
Many urgent-care settings leave non-English-speaking patients to manage critical health information on their own after the clinical moment has passed. Mercy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Bella Vista has interpretation services available throughout the visit, so the conversation about results, treatment, and next steps lands clearly the first time.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in McDonald County, the county that includes Jane, compare with Missouri and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#30 of 115 Missouri counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 74% of the state
| Infection | McDonald County | Missouri | United States |

| Chlamydia | 343.1 82 cases ▼ 31% | 498.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 62.8 15 cases ▼ 69% | 201.9 | 179.5 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in McDonald County, chlamydia has risen from 296.1 to 343.1 per 100,000 (16%), gonorrhea has fallen from 124.4 to 62.8 per 100,000 (50%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 25.7 to 16.7 per 100,000 (35%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in McDonald County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Missouri is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
McDonald County HIV care continuum (2023)
McDonald County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among McDonald County residents living with HIV, 76.2% are in care · 76.2% 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.
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 McDonald County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pine Hill sits at the edge of a community where most households run large, nearly four people under one roof on average, and where young adults in their twenties are often already sharing that space with partners or kids, not living solo in a city with a clinic around the corner. That life stage, when relationships are forming or shifting and routine health habits haven't locked in yet, is exactly when accessible screening matters most. The ownership split here tells something real: more than a third of Jane residents rent, typically around $825 a month in a county where incomes stretch carefully. That budget pressure doesn't leave much room for an unexpected lab bill, and the options listed on this page reflect that scarcity. There's only one.
With nearly two-thirds of adults in the labor force and unemployment essentially nil, people here are working, often on schedules that don't bend easily for a mid-week appointment. Groceries, work, appointments. When the single nearest option listed here requires planning a drive rather than a short errand, the question of whether screening actually happens often comes down to whether someone has blocked that time on purpose. On US 71, that intentionality is the whole game.
Getting there
At 4.26/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Jane generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Missouri 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).
In Missouri, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Missouri 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.
