STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Henrico County, the county that includes Chamberlayne, compare with Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#21 of 133 Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 84% of the state
| Infection | Henrico County | Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 595.7 1,994 cases ▲ 26% | 472.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 231.2 774 cases ▲ 46% | 158.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 22.7 76 cases ▲ 112% | 10.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14 47 cases ▲ 47% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 18.8 63 cases ▲ 19% | 15.8 | 29.5 |

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 Henrico County, chlamydia has risen from 590.9 to 595.7 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 272.4 to 231.2 per 100,000 (15%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 16.4 to 22.7 per 100,000 (38%).

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 Henrico County.
Local HIV snapshot
Henrico County HIV care continuum (2023)
Henrico County recorded 18.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Henrico County residents living with HIV, 84.9% are in care · 77% 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 Henrico County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Chamberlayne Road cuts through a stretch of Henrico where the overwhelming majority of households own their homes outright, a stability that shapes the neighborhood in subtle ways. Larger average household sizes and a high rate of married-couple families mean many residents here are balancing shared schedules, school pickups, and dual responsibilities that leave little room for mid-week appointments. That same ownership culture can create a quiet assumption that health logistics are manageable, even when a labor-force participation rate that leaves a meaningful slice of working-age adults outside steady employment tells a more complicated story about available time and financial flexibility.
With nearly four in ten households clearing six-figure incomes, cost isn't a universal barrier, but for the roughly one in ten residents who rent, $1,154 a month leaves a narrow cushion for out-of-pocket care. Younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI exposure is statistically most concentrated, are often precisely that renting minority: newer to the area, less rooted near Bryan Park or The Hills, and less likely to have an established primary-care relationship to lean on.
Getting there
At 9.85/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Chamberlayne generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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