STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Mono County, the county that includes Coleville, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#42 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 28% of the state
| Infection | Mono County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 267.9 35 cases ▼ 45% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 15.3 2 cases ▼ 92% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.7 1 cases ▼ 53% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 46.7 | 29.5 |
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 Mono County, chlamydia has risen from 227.4 to 267.9 per 100,000 (18%), gonorrhea has fallen from 22.7 to 15.3 per 100,000 (33%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 15.4 to 7.7 per 100,000 (50%).

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 Mono County.
Local HIV snapshot
Mono County HIV care continuum (2023)
Mono County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Mono County residents living with HIV, 90% are in care · 80% 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 Mono County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Round Mountain carries the kind of settled, unhurried atmosphere that makes Coleville feel like a place people put down roots, and many do, with nearly three in five residents owning their homes. That stability, though, coexists with a real cost picture: typical rent running close to a thousand dollars a month leaves less margin for expenses people may quietly deprioritize, including health care they don't think of as urgent. Younger adults in Coleville, the late-teen and twenties crowd who account for a disproportionately large slice of the population, are also the group where STIs spread most readily and go undetected longest.
They are more likely to be renting, more likely to be stretching a modest paycheck, and less likely to have a regular clinical relationship that prompts routine screening. The testing locations listed on this page range in hours and cost, and that variety matters here. A household running on a tight monthly budget doesn't have much room for an unplanned co-pay, so knowing which sites offer low-cost or no-cost screening before making the trip can determine whether testing happens at all, and in Coleville, Round Mountain is often closer than the nearest urgent-care clinic.
Getting there

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on California 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 California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
California 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.
