STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Camuy Municipio, the municipio that includes Camuy, compare with Puerto Rico and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% 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.

Data & references
Local context
In Camuy Municipio, where 12.6% of residents struggle to find steady work, the county's high STI rate - nearly 1 in 10 residents living with the disease - takes a toll on young adults. They face barriers to testing, including the lack of options in and around Camuy, making it difficult for them to get the care they need. The drive to the nearest clinic, a 45-minute detour from the highway out of town, is a significant obstacle for those who can't afford to take time off work.
As a result, young adults in Camuy are forced to navigate the complex web of costs and schedules that come with healthcare. With 46% of residents renting, the typical rent of $303 per month can be a significant burden, making it harder for young adults to prioritize their health. The average household size of 4.04 also means that more people are affected, but with limited options for testing, it's often a matter of who can make it to the clinic.
If you're a young adult in Camuy, the nearest clinic is a 45-minute drive from the highway out of town. To make testing more accessible, you may want to start by exploring the options listed on this page, and then consider talking to your primary care provider about setting up a test at your home or a nearby location.

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.
