Spanish-Language Care Without Coordination Overhead

For someone navigating STI care without an established primary provider and without English as a first language, Arkansas Department of Health in Nashville delivers clinical services (counseling, testing, treatment) directly in Spanish. No bridging required, and the relationship stays at this clinic.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV can mean a second visit, or no visit at all, when hepatitis exposure is also a concern. Arkansas Department of Health in Nashville closes that gap by including hepatitis B and C testing in the same appointment, keeping the full picture in one place.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 17 reviews

Cabun Rural Health Services in Hope operates on sliding scale fees with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted, covering a panel that extends beyond the standard four to include herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB: by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs and Spanish-language care.

Spanish Care Lives Here, Not Down the Road

Without Spanish-language care at the point of testing, the gap between a result and a treatment plan widens: follow-up questions go unasked, instructions get approximated, and infections persist longer than they should. At Cabun Rural Health Services, Spanish is a working clinical language, not a workaround, so care moves forward without that gap.

Hepatitis C Diagnosis and Treatment Stay Together

A hepatitis C diagnosis that ends at confirmation (with treatment scheduled somewhere else, weeks later) leaves patients navigating a system that can easily stall. Cabun Rural Health Services manages hepatitis C treatment on-site, so the path from a reactive test to an active treatment plan doesn't require a separate provider or a separate appointment.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Core Panel

Leaving herpes or hepatitis off a screen means those infections can go undetected and unaddressed until symptoms force the issue, or until someone else is exposed. Cabun Rural Health Services tests for herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so the full picture is available from a single visit.

STDs & HIV in Hempstead County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Hempstead County, the county that includes Ozan, compare with Arkansas 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 Hempstead County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Ozan, AR

Locust Street anchors Ozan's small, settled core. A neighborhood where the vast majority of households own their homes and most adults are married, raising families in one of the state's quieter corners. That stability is real, but it sits alongside a labor-force picture where slightly more than half of adults are working, which means schedules here aren't always nine-to-five and time off for medical appointments can be genuinely hard to carve out. None of the households here report high incomes, which makes cost a real consideration when thinking about routine health care.

Including STI screening. Young adults in Ozan, people in their late teens and twenties forming relationships and building lives, fall squarely within the years when STI transmission runs highest, and for them especially, an affordable, low-hassle path to testing matters more than any brochure about good intentions. Whether someone along the Locust corridor needs a free visit, a sliding-scale fee, or extended hours, the range listed here means residents aren't limited to a single appointment window or a single price point.

What each STD test costs

Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

Confidentiality & consent in Arkansas

Minor 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.
