STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Camuy Municipio, the municipio that includes Alianza, compare with Puerto Rico and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~17% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#61 of 78 Puerto Rico counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 22% of the state
| Infection | Camuy Municipio | Puerto Rico | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 88.9 29 cases ▼ 45% | 162.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 15.3 5 cases ▼ 59% | 37 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 9.2 3 cases ▼ 53% | 19.6 | 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 Camuy Municipio, chlamydia has risen from 51.8 to 88.9 per 100,000 (72%), gonorrhea has risen from 6.1 to 15.3 per 100,000 (151%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3 to 6.1 per 100,000 (103%).

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 Camuy Municipio.
Local HIV snapshot
Camuy Municipio HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Camuy Municipio residents living with HIV, 74.1% are in care · 70.4% 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 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 Camuy Municipio tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
In Camuy Municipio, where the county STI rate is among the highest in the region, getting tested for STIs in Alianza can be a logistical challenge due to limited options. For many younger residents, this means navigating a long drive to the nearest clinic, a trek that requires time and resources. The county's rural spread and lack of public transportation options exacerbate this issue, making it difficult for those living outside of town to access testing.
The reality of homeownership in Alianza is that nearly 84% of residents own their homes, with a median value of $92,274. This suggests that many residents have a stable financial foundation, but it also means that those who rent may be more likely to experience cost pressure when it comes to healthcare. The average household size is 2.92, which may impact the availability of childcare services, further limiting access to testing.
For those who do manage to get tested, it's often at a cost. The high-earner share of households in Alianza is relatively low, with only 1.7% earning more than $100,000 per year. This means that many residents may not have the financial resources to prioritize testing, making it essential to have low-friction screening options available. Given the challenges of getting tested in Alianza, the single most practical next step is to explore options in and around Camuy Municipio, where the nearest clinic may be located.
Getting there

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Puerto Rico 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 Puerto Rico, public health clinics provide confidential STI testing and treatment; ask the clinic directly about consent requirements for minors.
Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is potentially allowable in Puerto Rico: it is not expressly authorized, but not prohibited either. Ask your provider whether they will prescribe treatment for a partner without a separate visit.
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.
