#67 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Pike County | Illinois | United States |

| Chlamydia | 209.2 30 cases ▼ 62% | 557.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 41.8 6 cases ▼ 79% | 202.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 11.6 | 15.8 |

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 Pike County, chlamydia has risen from 128.9 to 209.2 per 100,000 (62%), gonorrhea has fallen from 101.8 to 41.8 per 100,000 (59%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6.8 to 6.8 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Pike County.
Local HIV snapshot
Pike County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pike County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · 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 Pike County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Baylis sits where the Illinois River bends through Pike County landscape shaped by centuries of human settlement, and the town's mix of young adults makes regular STI screening part of staying well during years when relationships shift and sexual health questions arise naturally. Testing in and around Baylis fits into the practical rhythms of life here: not something separate from everyday care, but a straightforward health step that happens quietly between you and the clinic. The providers listed on this page understand that confidentiality isn't performance; it's how they work. The New Philadelphia National Historic Site interpretive kiosk and The Mound anchor the area's sense of time and continuity, and that same respect for what matters privately applies to your medical information. When you reach out to schedule screening, you're not navigating a bureaucracy or proving anything to anyone.
Results don't circulate through town gossip or casual conversation, they remain yours alone. Young adults in particular benefit from making screening routine rather than waiting for a specific worry to surface. Starting a conversation with a provider here means you can ask what actually matters to you: frequency, what kinds of testing make sense for your situation, how results arrive, what happens next if something shows up. That directness and clarity is what testing in and around Baylis offers.

Two things that actually depend on Illinois 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 Illinois, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Illinois 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.
