Family Health Care Clinic in Monticello screens for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with treatment for bacterial infections at the same visit; an appointment is required.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP and PEP Built Into Ongoing Care

Family Health Care Clinic prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing refills and follow-up labs stay in one place. That continuity keeps prevention from becoming a side errand managed separately from the rest of a patient's care.

Hepatitis C Treatment Dispensed Here, Completely

For anyone without a regular specialist, or paying cash and needing to keep steps minimal, Family Health Care Clinic treats hepatitis C on-site rather than stopping at diagnosis. The medication is managed here, so cure doesn't depend on navigating a separate provider.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Someone without a primary care provider who needs a thorough baseline (covering herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB alongside the core bacterial infections) finds that full breadth at Family Health Care Clinic without splitting the visit across multiple sites.

Mississippi State Department of Health

Every Line Item Runs at Zero Cost

Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are all accepted here, but the fee schedule bottoms out at nothing regardless. Every test, every treatment, every vaccine administered at this clinic carries no charge. That applies to HPV, hepatitis A, and adult hepatitis B vaccines as fully as it does to the bacterial STI treatment dispensed the same visit.

Spanish Covers the Full Clinical Encounter

Spanish is one of the two languages in which this clinic delivers care: not a supplementary channel but a full operational language for the STI panel, partner notification, HIV test counseling, and prevention education alike. Services in both languages carry the same same-visit treatment capability and the same zero-fee structure.

STDs & HIV in Lawrence County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Lawrence County, the county that includes Monticello, compare with Mississippi and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.

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.

About Monticello, MS

STD testing in Monticello requires some intentionality. The town itself has limited walk-in capacity, which means residents often coordinate appointments weeks ahead or travel to nearby clinics in larger towns for same-day access. That reality shapes how people here approach sexual health: planning matters, and knowing where to turn matters more. The clinics and providers listed on this page span the immediate area and beyond, reflecting what's genuinely available to Monticello residents without long delays or unrealistic drive times.

Young adults in Monticello, a group present throughout the town's neighborhoods and workplaces, have particular reason to make testing routine. A confidential screening is straightforward to arrange, and the results belong to you alone; there's no automatic loop back to employers, schools, or family. The modest cost of living here means many people prioritize direct medical expenses, and testing fits into that calculus when clinics offer it affordably. Getting tested says nothing about who you are or what assumptions anyone might hold.

It's a basic health step, one that's easier to take when you've found the right place and timing. The providers and facilities listed here know Monticello and the surrounding county; using them means working with people who understand both the logistics and the privacy that matters in a close-knit place.

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.
