STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Chicot County, the county that includes Lake Village, compare with Arkansas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#16 of 75 Arkansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 79% of the state
| Infection | Chicot County | Arkansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 733.9 70 cases ▲ 27% | 579.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 209.7 20 cases ▲ 8% | 193.4 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 21 2 cases ▲ 21% | 17.3 | 16 |

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 Chicot County, chlamydia has risen from 715.1 to 733.9 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has fallen from 342.9 to 209.7 per 100,000 (39%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10 to 31.5 per 100,000 (215%).

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 Chicot County.
Local HIV snapshot

Chicot County HIV care continuum (2020)
Chicot County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Chicot County residents living with HIV, 12.5% are in care. 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 Chicot County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Near the Lake Village Confederate Monument, where Highway 65 bends toward the lake, households here run larger than the national norm and nearly half of residents rent: often at some of the lowest monthly costs in the Delta, which sounds like breathing room until you stack it against a local job market where a substantial share of working-age adults are either unemployed or out of the workforce altogether. That financial squeeze is real, and it shapes decisions about healthcare the same way it shapes every other line in a monthly budget. Younger adults navigating those early-relationship years, the crowd most likely to benefit from routine STI screening, are building lives inside that same economic reality.
With fewer high-earning households than almost anywhere in Arkansas, even a modest clinic fee can quietly tip the calculation. The options listed on this page include lower-cost and sliding-scale services worth comparing before you go. Knowing which of the listed options is closest, and whether its hours work around a shift schedule, is the practical first step that actually moves the needle.
Getting there

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).
In Arkansas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
