A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Delta Health Center

PrEP Prescribing and PEP With Active Clinical Follow-Through

Delta Health Center prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, with monitoring handled by the same clinical staff rather than sent elsewhere. PrEP involves ongoing lab work and prescription management built into the clinic's HIV medical care infrastructure, the same team that manages HIV/AIDS treatment, so prevention and care share a staffing model.

Herpes Testing Included Alongside the Standard Four

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Delta Health Center carries herpes testing as a standing capability. Useful for anyone without a regular provider who needs a complete picture rather than a partial one. That breadth means fewer separate appointments when the clinical question extends beyond bacterial infections.

STDs & HIV in Sunflower County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Sunflower County, the county that includes Moorhead, compare with Mississippi and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~41% 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.

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 Sunflower County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Moorhead, MS

Moorhead's rental households, the majority of residents here, tend to be larger, multigenerational arrangements stretched across modest budgets, and the labor-force picture tells a stark story: well over a quarter of working-age adults are unemployed, meaning time isn't always the obstacle to getting screened, but money and transport often are. With typical rents sitting at one of the lower figures you'll find anywhere in the Delta and home values that reflect a community under real economic pressure, out-of-pocket clinic fees can feel prohibitive even when the distance is manageable. That economic reality lands hardest on younger adults still building their footing: people in their late teens and twenties make up a disproportionately large share of Moorhead's population, and they're also the years when STI transmission rates run highest nationally.

Low-cost, low-barrier access isn't a convenience here; it's the difference between screening that gets considered and screening that actually happens for people already navigating stretched budgets and limited transportation. The options listed on this page span a range of fees, hours, and distances from Sunflower County, and for residents near the YANKY-72 Cross, knowing which of those options fits both the drive and the budget is where that range becomes genuinely useful.

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.
