Greenvillle, MI is a small town located on the Mississippi Delta. It is a quiet, small town in Washington County and it also has a high rate of sexually transmitted diseases among teens.
These high rates of STDs among teens is of particular concern for Washington County Health Officials because, when left untreated, STDs can lead to permanent damage and infertility later in life.
Total rates for all sexually transmitted diseases in the county occur at higher rates than Mississippi state averages and US national averages, particularly for chlamydia. Chlamydia occurs at almost twice state averages.
Teen pregnancies occur at rates of 66.1 per 1,000 female teens in Washington County. Chlamydia occurs in 1,213 out of every 100,000 total residents. This makes getting teens tested a priority in Washington County.
The State of Mississippi is working in conjunction with county officials to provide safe and free ways for teens and adults to get tested for STDs. The STD/HIV program links people to free STD testing in their area at all county level public health departments, but you must meet income and other criterion to qualify for free services.
The Aaron E Henry Community Health Services Centers and Delta Medical Group are other options they may offer low-cost STD testing in the Greenville area. Free public clinics often require parental consent and are not always anonymous. In addition, the hours and days open are not always convenient or accessible to teens or adults, especially if the teen needs access to family insurance.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

Some STD testing clinics offer same-day walk-in options without an appointment. Below are nearby preferred locations that offer this option.
The cost of STD testing depends on whether you select private, public, or at-home testing, as well as the type of test(s) you need.
Several at-home STD options and public testing locations can cost up to $250, with most on the higher end, depending on the brand and type of testing. Public testing fees also vary based on income and welfare eligibility.
With private testing, you may save money on a low-cost comprehensive 10-test panel that tests for the most common bacterial and viral STDs in the United States.

Sex education in the public schools of Mississippi must be abstinence only or abstinence plus curriculums. This abstinence-only curriculum must teach that abstinence from sexual activity before marriage and fidelity within marriage are the only certain ways to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and related health problems. This is what state law says. You cannot include any demonstration in this type of curriculum of how to use condoms or any other contraceptives.
Abstinence plus education may discuss contraceptives and the nature, causes, and effects of STDs or the prevention of STDs, including HIV/AIDS, along with a factual presentation of the risks and failure rates. State law also mandates that boys and girls must be separated according to gender into different classrooms during sex-related education courses. Factnotfiction.com is an online resource for sex education and run by the Women’s Foundation of Mississippi.
This group also funds eight programs statewide with grants that address STI education plus counselling and pregnancy prevention. This organization uses health department data to target advertising for the Fact Not Fiction site to teens in areas with the highest rates of STIs in the state. The site uses evidence-based and medically accurate data to address myths about common misconceptions about safe sex and STIs providing a strong education function.
Factnotfiction.com also has an Ask The Expert section. Anyone can submit an anonymous question about sexual health. The Women’s Foundation collects those questions and gets nurses from the University of Mississippi Medical Center to answer. The group attempts to use these digital tools to reach students where they are. The group attempts to not be judgemental and not use shame. They try to give students information that they need and make it feel like entertainment.
Demographics play a role in STI rates and numbers of cases especially keeping in mind the problem of high STI rates in Black Hawk County for over a decade. It is a concern that strategically affects the area. This is according to a former Public Health Director for the county. An STI Coalition in the county is working with the current director to tackle the issue and look more closely at demographics.
The effort will look at demographic data to figure out what caused rates to go up and better target programs. Black people have 15 times the rate of white people as related to chlamydia. Reasons for the highest in the land rates include poverty. People are less likely to be regular users of the health care system. This includes primary care.
Many have no insurance or are underinsured. These people tend to use the emergency room and health department clinics more than a primary care doctor. African Americans in the state have higher rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea. and syphilis.
This is according to Mississippi Department of Health data. With the numbers showing that the state’s syphilis rates have almost tripled in the last three years, the Mississippi Department of Health notes that rates are rising quickest in the young African American male demographic.
The Women’s Foundation of Mississippi points out testing for STIs is available statewide at county health departments as well as several other independent organizations, and some STIs are easier to treat when detected early as with chlamydia and syphilis. The group encourages early detection at one of these testing sites. The Women’s Foundation of Mississippi also runs Factnotfiction.com as an online resource for STI prevention and includes a Clinic Finder tool. This allows Mississippians to search for all available locations to go get tested for STIs in the state.
