Trinity Comprehensive Healthcare Center in Memphis screens for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis on a sliding-scale fee, with insurance and Medicaid accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial infections can be treated the same visit.

Read full overview

Interpreter Access Built Into Every Appointment

Trinity Comprehensive Healthcare Center has interpretation services woven into its appointments, which matters for anyone navigating testing or ongoing PrEP care in a language other than English. That standing capability means nothing gets compressed into gestures or guesswork when the clinical conversation actually counts.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Directly From This Clinic

Trinity Comprehensive Healthcare Center prescribes both PrEP and PEP on-site, which means a patient can move from a testing visit to an active prevention regimen without involving a separate provider or a second facility.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Plenty of clinics limit their panel to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and leave herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing to be arranged elsewhere. Trinity Comprehensive Healthcare Center tests for all of them, so one appointment produces a genuinely complete picture.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 96 reviews

Oak Street Health in Memphis requires an appointment, so scheduling ahead unlocks a full visit covering rapid and conventional HIV testing, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, TB, same-visit bacterial treatment, and PrEP. On a sliding-scale fee, with care available in Spanish.

Read full overview

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested, Not Tracked Down Later

Leaving Oak Street Health without answers on herpes or hepatitis B and C means scheduling another appointment, paying another fee, and waiting again for results that should have come the first time. Oak Street Health tests for all of them alongside the core bacterial infections, one visit closes the loop.

Oak Street Health carries both daily oral PrEP and PEP within its standing clinical services: meaning the prescription, the baseline labs, and the follow-up monitoring that PrEP requires are handled by the same provider rather than split across separate appointments at separate practices.

Spanish-Language Care With the Prescribing Provider

For someone navigating PrEP adherence, a new diagnosis, or a treatment plan entirely in Spanish, the clinically meaningful difference at Oak Street Health is direct: the care itself is delivered in Spanish, not relayed through a secondary channel, so nothing is lost between question and answer.

How reported STI rates in DeSoto County, the county that includes Olive Branch, 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.

DeSoto County recorded 14.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 21.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among DeSoto County residents living with HIV, 69.8% are in care · 58.6% 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 DeSoto County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Olive Branch, MS

Eastover and Cherokee Trails draw a mix of young couples and newer families, households that tend to be larger than the national average and anchored by homeownership at rates that signal stability but also real financial commitment. With mortgages or $1,100-plus monthly rents absorbing a significant share of take-home pay, a fee-bearing clinic visit can feel like one more line item competing with groceries and car payments, which matters for people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically the most likely to need STI screening and the least likely to have built a cushion for unexpected health costs.

DeSoto County's STI figures reflect what happens when that cost hesitation compounds over time. Olive Branch's workforce participation is strong and a notable share of households clears six figures, yet a meaningful portion of residents are managing on tighter margins, and even moderate appointment costs add up. The options listed on this page include low-cost and sliding-scale sites that fit a range of budgets, worth knowing before cost becomes the reason a test gets postponed.

Getting there is the practical variable. Pigeon Roost Road and Goodman Road (MS 302) connect most of the city's residential corridors, but the nearest clinic is a drive, not a walk, and realistically requires a car and a cleared block of time. Knowing which site off those routes has same-day availability is what turns a quick errand run into a completed appointment.

Getting there

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.
