STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Lake County, the county that includes Clermont, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#50 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 25% of the state
| Infection | Lake County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 295.9 1,256 cases ▼ 41% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 102.5 435 cases ▼ 50% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8 34 cases ▼ 59% | 19.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.7 24 cases ▼ 77% | 25.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 17 72 cases ▼ 55% | 37.7 | 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 Lake County, chlamydia has risen from 292.7 to 295.9 per 100,000 (1%), gonorrhea has fallen from 112.8 to 102.5 per 100,000 (9%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7 to 8 per 100,000 (14%).
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 Lake County.
Local HIV snapshot
Lake County HIV care continuum (2023)
Lake County recorded 8.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Lake County residents living with HIV, 84.6% are in care · 78.2% 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 Lake County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Sundance at Clermont sits back from the SR 50 corridor with the kind of unhurried feel that makes Clermont easy to picture as a place where people put down roots, and most residents here have done exactly that, owning their homes in a community built around families and longer stays. With households averaging more than three people and the majority of adults married, the practical calculus of health decisions often involves coordinating schedules across partners, kids, and work, which is where distance starts to matter. The options listed on this page spread across the broader Clermont and Lake County area, and reaching several of them means a real drive out along SR 50 or north on Hancock Road, not a quick errand.
Young adults in their late teens and twenties represent a smaller share of that stable, homeowning population, but they face the years when STI transmission tends to cluster, and when scheduling a test means carving time out of a work week with relatively low unemployment keeping most people employed and occupied. A household profile heavy with committed relationships and family structures does not make screening irrelevant; it just changes the conversation about when and where to go.
For the roughly one in four households not in the six-figure income range, cost is a real filter when choosing between options listed here. Several clinics on this page offer sliding-scale fees, which matters concretely when a $1,415 monthly rent already claims a significant piece of a moderate paycheck.
Getting there
At 7.28/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Clermont 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 Florida 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 Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Florida 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.
