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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

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 Keith County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Belmar, NE

Cedar View Beach, a tranquil spot in Belmar, offers a serene escape, but for residents, getting to essential services can be a challenge. With a workforce that has a relatively low participation rate, many people balance work and personal life, making it essential to find convenient and efficient ways to prioritize health.

The community is characterized by a high level of stability, with nearly every household owner-occupied and a predominantly married population. The small average household size suggests that many residents live alone or with few others, which can make it even more crucial to have accessible healthcare options. For those living in this tight-knit community, having a straightforward way to take care of their health is vital.

For the many households with incomes that allow for some financial security, the cost of healthcare can still be a concern. Residents with higher incomes may still find it challenging to take time off work or cover unexpected expenses, making it essential to have low-friction access to testing and care. As people in their late teens and twenties, and those still forming relationships, look to prioritize their health, the options listed here can provide a vital resource.

Confidentiality & consent in Nebraska

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on Nebraska 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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Nebraska, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

Nebraska 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.
