STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Winslow, compare with Arkansas 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.
#22 of 75 Arkansas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 71% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Arkansas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 647.7 1,694 cases ▲ 12% | 579.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 146.1 382 cases ▼ 24% | 193.4 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 17.2 45 cases ▼ 1% | 17.3 | 16 |

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.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Washington County, chlamydia has risen from 577.5 to 647.7 per 100,000 (12%), gonorrhea has fallen from 187.9 to 146.1 per 100,000 (22%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 20.7 to 19.9 per 100,000 (4%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Arkansas is one of the U.S. jurisdictions prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Washington County HIV care continuum (2023)
Washington County recorded 11.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 20.1% are in care · 15.9% 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.
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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The Ozark foothills around Winslow shift through distinct seasons, and so do the rhythms of the people who settle here: many in their late teens through thirties, building jobs, relationships, and futures in a town where transience and rootedness live side by side. For this population, STI testing fits naturally into the ordinary checkups and life transitions that mark these years: starting work, moving into a new place, or simply keeping health current without fanfare. The clinics and providers listed on this page offer that routine screening in and around Winslow, each with its own approach to confidentiality and ease of access. What matters most in a town like this is that testing happens without becoming the story people tell about you. Young adults here value the straightforward kind of care (walk in, get tested, receive results) without the weight of small-town visibility that can make health decisions feel exposed.
A screening is a screening; it belongs in the same category as any other preventive step, not as something that demands explanation to neighbors or coworkers. Winslow's mix of outdoor spaces like Winslow City Park and Gaylor Mountain draws people who are active and engaged in their own lives. That same independence shapes how residents approach their health. Testing sites in and around town recognize that confidentiality isn't theater, it's the foundation that lets people act on what they need.

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).
In Arkansas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
