Rated 3.2 out of 5 from 35 reviews

Coastal Family Health Center in D'Iberville accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees available for everyone else, and it runs a broad panel covering rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB, by appointment, with care delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview Show less

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested on the Same Visit

Coastal Family Health Center runs serology for herpes simplex alongside hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing: orders placed, specimens collected, and results managed within the same clinical workflow as the core bacterial and viral panel, so nothing requires a separate lab referral or a second appointment.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Managed Here

Without access to PrEP and PEP at a primary care site, patients often face a gap between testing and actually starting HIV prevention medication. Coastal Family Health Center prescribes and manages both (PrEP for ongoing prevention, PEP when it's needed) closing that gap inside a single practice.

Clinical Spanish Across the Full Visit

Care at Coastal Family Health Center is delivered in Spanish, which means clinical conversations (symptoms, medication instructions, follow-up plans) happen directly between patient and provider without a relay, keeping the nuance intact where it matters most.

STDs & HIV in Jackson County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Jackson County, the county that includes Latimer, compare with Mississippi 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.

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 Jackson County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Latimer, MS

Latimer, Mississippi, faces a significant reality in Jackson County, where the need for convenient health services is underscored by the local demographics and economic conditions. With many residents calling Latimer home, the area's family-oriented atmosphere is reflected in its high homeownership rate and sizable households.

The local workforce is a mix of steady earners and those navigating employment challenges, with a notable presence of households with incomes that allow for financial stability. However, for younger adults still forming relationships and establishing their careers, finding time and resources for health services can be a challenge. The area's spread-out nature and limited public transportation options mean that accessing services requires careful planning, especially for those with busy schedules or limited mobility.

For those living along the highway out of town or in more rural parts of Jackson County, getting to a testing site can be a logistical hurdle. Residents of Latimer who rent their homes, making up a smaller but significant portion of the community, might face added financial pressures that can make it harder to prioritize health services. A practical next step for anyone in Latimer concerned about their health is to start by looking into options in and around the area, beginning with the resources available to them.

Confidentiality & consent in Mississippi

Minor 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.
