Language Access Staffed Into Every Appointment
ARcare carries interpretation services for non-English languages directly through the clinical encounter: the person managing a new diagnosis, navigating medication instructions, or discussing a PrEP regimen gets that conversation in their own language without being handed off or put on hold.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
PrEP at ARcare means a prescribing clinician, the required baseline labs, and scheduled follow-up monitoring. The full protocol, not a one-time script. PEP is also available, and uninsured patients have a dedicated financial pathway for PrEP coverage so cost doesn't interrupt the medication cycle.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Start to Finish Here
For someone without a regular specialist or primary care relationship, ARcare's ability to treat hepatitis C, not merely flag it, closes a gap that otherwise requires months of referral navigation. Direct-acting antivirals are managed here, alongside hepatitis B treatment and both hepatitis A and B vaccination.

Healthy Connections in Little Rock runs by appointment, so scheduling one visit lines up testing for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C alongside STI treatment, family planning, and vaccines. All on a sliding-scale fee adjusted to income.

Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated in One Place
Leaving hepatitis C undetected while treating a bacterial STI means carrying a second condition that quietly advances, Healthy Connections tests for hepatitis C directly, so a positive result leads to HIV/AIDS-level medical management at the same practice, not a separate referral chain.
Healthy Connections prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means prevention medication and the routine monitoring labs it requires (HIV tests, kidney panels) stay coordinated within one ongoing care relationship rather than scattered across separate providers.

Spanish-Language Care Staffed Directly at This Clinic
Spanish is available directly through staff at Planned Parenthood Great Plains, not routed through an external service mid-appointment. For non-Spanish languages, interpretation services are coordinated so the clinical conversation (history, diagnosis, treatment plan) moves without a break in the room.
Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality
As a Title X–funded site, Planned Parenthood Great Plains provides family planning services to minors with confidentiality protections that are legally mandated. Not a clinic policy that can be overridden. That means test results and treatment records for minors are shielded by federal statute, not discretion.
PrEP and PEP Managed Without a Referral Chain
Without access to PrEP at the same clinic running your STI panel, ongoing HIV prevention requires a separate provider, a separate appointment, and a gap where coverage lapses. At Planned Parenthood Great Plains, PrEP is prescribed and monitored in-house, and PEP is available when prevention needs to move faster.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Maumelle, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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 Pulaski County residents living with HIV, 26.9% are in care · 20.9% 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 Pulaski County tests for syphilis.

Lake Willastein Park sits at the quiet center of a city where nearly three in five adults are married and households run close to three people deep, which means health decisions here rarely get made alone. That family-forward character shapes how Maumelle residents think about preventive care: a conversation between partners, coordinated around school pickups and shared calendars, rather than a solo errand. That structure matters when you consider the share of residents in their late teens and twenties. Young adults in that window are forming relationships, often navigating new partners for the first time, and routine STI screening is simply part of keeping everyone in the household informed.
With close to half of Maumelle households clearing six figures and ownership rates far above most Arkansas cities, financial access is less of a barrier than time and geography. Pulaski County's STI figures give Maumelle residents a concrete reason to stay current. Living in a lower-density community with longer distances between stops can stretch the gap between a symptom and a confirmed answer, which means keeping screening on the calendar, not just on the mind, is the more practical posture for anyone in this county.

Confidentiality & consent in ArkansasMinor 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.
