Ranking Health Department reported an increase in the number of HIV infections over the years. 23 new HIV cases at a rate of 15.1 per 100,000 population were reported in 2017, and the number slightly increased to 24 at a rate of 15.6 in 2018.
There was an increase in Syphilis infection cases reported, with 2017 recording 50 new infections at a rate of 32.9 while 2018 had 74 cases at a rate of 48.1. The increase was attributed to the rising number of heterosexual relationships.
Chlamydia infections reported in 2018 were substantially lower than the numbers registered in 2017. The department noted 559 cases in 2018 at a rate of 363.2 compared to 2017’s 662 recorded cases at a rate of 435.3.
In 2018, the number of Gonorrhea infections decreased to 214 cases at a rate of 139.0 from 240 cases at a rate of 157.8 recorded in 2017.
The health department of Pearl, MS, has implemented several steps to minimize the spread of HIV/STDs. Some of the initiatives include a 24 hour HIV/STD hotline, opening affordable STD testing clinics, running an AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), and participating in research programs.
Pearl, MS, residents may visit the Rankin County Health Department and the Mississippi State Department of Health to get comprehensive STD testing and treatment. Also, AHF Healthcare Center and The Woman’s Clinic are other clinics that may offer STD testing.
The clinics in the area may offer free STD testing, but patients may have to wait for long hours, and you may not get your STD results immediately.
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.
