STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Saguache County, the county that includes Bonanza, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
#20 of 64 Colorado counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 69% of the state
| Infection | Saguache County | Colorado | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 328.9 22 cases ▼ 24% | 435.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 29.9 2 cases ▼ 77% | 128.7 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 29.9 2 cases ▲ 187% | 10.4 | 16 |

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Saguache County, chlamydia has risen from 219.8 to 328.9 per 100,000 (50%), and gonorrhea has fallen from 78.5 to 29.9 per 100,000 (62%).
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 Saguache County.
Local HIV snapshot
Saguache County HIV care continuum (2023)
Saguache County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Saguache County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 60% 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 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 Saguache County tests for syphilis.

Two things that actually depend on Colorado 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 Colorado, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Colorado 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.
