How to read these listings

Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 7 reviews

Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center in Utica tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and TB on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with insurance and Medicaid accepted; an appointment is required, and bacterial STIs are treated the same visit.

Read full overview Show less

Herpes Testing Sits Alongside the Standard Panel

Jackson-Hinds screens for herpes in addition to gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, which means a single appointment can surface an infection that a shorter panel would leave undetected, keeping your picture complete without a second visit elsewhere.

PrEP Prescribed and Managed at This Clinic

Clinics that offer HIV testing often stop there, leaving PrEP prescribing to outside providers. Jackson-Hinds carries PrEP and PEP as active services: meaning the medication, the monitoring labs, and the follow-up care stay within the same practice rather than fragmenting across multiple offices.

Spanish-Language Care Is Staffed, Not Patched

Spanish-language care at Jackson-Hinds is a staffed clinical capability: providers and staff conduct intake, counseling, and treatment conversations directly in Spanish, so medication adherence education and STI counseling land with the precision that clinical guidance requires.

STD stats & rates

STDs & HIV in Hinds County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Hinds County, the county that includes Utica, compare with Mississippi and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% 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.

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 Hinds County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Utica, MS

Utica sits in a county where STI rates tell a story worth paying attention to, and for younger adults here, the challenge of acting on that story starts with the drive. That schedule pressure is real in Utica. Labor-force participation here runs well below national norms, which can mean irregular hours, multiple jobs, or caregiving responsibilities packed into households that average more than three people. Most residents own their homes rather than rent, and with typical home values modest by any measure, disposable income for out-of-pocket health costs is not a given.

Especially for the young adults in their late teens and twenties who fall squarely in the years when STI transmission peaks. Low rent relative to other areas helps, but the high-earner share here is small, meaning cost remains a real consideration when choosing whether and where to get tested. The options listed on this page rank by proximity and flag sliding-scale and no-cost fees where they exist, a practical filter for anyone weighing whether a long drive across the county is worth taking on a weekday before or after a shift.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Utica often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. 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 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.
