Zero-Cost Care, No Donation Required
No fee attaches to any service at Engaging Arkansas Communities: testing, counseling, condoms, and prevention education all carry the same zero-dollar price. Donations are welcomed but never expected, which means access is unconditional regardless of income, insurance, or circumstance.
PrEP Available Without a Primary Care Provider
Engaging Arkansas Communities prescribes PrEP directly, making it a practical option for anyone who wants ongoing HIV prevention but lacks a regular provider or prefers to keep that care in one place. The clinic also offers PEP, so both ends of HIV prevention, ongoing and time-sensitive, are managed here.
Hepatitis C Testing Alongside the Core Panel
The clinic tests for hepatitis C in addition to HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, which means a single appointment surfaces a broader picture of bloodborne and sexually transmitted infections at once. Reducing the need to schedule separate visits elsewhere for a complete screen.

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 Pulaski County tests for syphilis.

Getting tested for STIs in Wrightsville means accepting that immediate, walk-in convenience isn't part of the local landscape. The nearest clinics with full testing capacity lie outside town, a reality that shapes when and how residents schedule appointments. That distance also means whatever you discuss with a provider stays genuinely separate from daily life here: the testing happens elsewhere, the results return to you alone, and there's no accidental overlap with someone you'll see at the store next week. The town draws young adults in their late teens and thirties who've chosen to stay or returned to roots here, alongside single households and multigenerational families who've built their lives around the mines and what Wrightsville offers.
For that younger population especially, routine screening during the years when sexual health shifts and changes is practical and necessary, yet the absence of in-town testing means planning ahead. Clinics and urgent-care centers in and around Wrightsville (listed on this page with hours, distance, and testing types) make confidential screening reachable without the awkwardness of running into someone you know. The trade-off is simple: you travel for the appointment, but you get the privacy that matters.

Confidentiality & consent in ArkansasMinor 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.
