Confidential STD Testing in Conway, AR - Order Online, Walk In Today

Conway sits about 30 minutes north of Little Rock on the I-40 corridor and is known as the "City of Colleges" — home to the University of Central Arkansas, Hendrix College, and Central Baptist College, three campuses packed into a single mid-size city of roughly 65,000 people. That college identity, plus a growing tech and corporate presence, gives Conway an unusually young, mobile population for its size. It also shapes the city's public health picture. Conway's concentration of three college campuses in a single mid-size city is epidemiologically significant — UCA, Hendrix, and Central Baptist collectively bring tens of thousands of students into Faulkner County, pushing the 18–24 age bracket well above what would be expected for a city of its size. That age group accounts for the majority of new chlamydia diagnoses in Arkansas, a state that consistently ranks in the top ten nationally for STD rates. Conway's position on the I-40 corridor between Little Rock and the NW Arkansas metro also means significant daily population movement, with residents frequently accessing social and nightlife options in both directions. Faulkner County has seen consistent year-over-year increases in reported gonorrhea cases, a trend that mirrors statewide patterns but is amplified by the city's unusually dense student population relative to its overall size.
