STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Monroe County, the county that includes Culloden, compare with Georgia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#134 of 159 Georgia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 16% of the state
| Infection | Monroe County | Georgia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 316.7 97 cases ▼ 51% | 646.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 150.2 46 cases ▼ 45% | 274.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 13.1 4 cases ▼ 34% | 20 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.3 1 cases ▼ 82% | 18.4 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 19.6 6 cases ▼ 45% | 35.8 | 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 Monroe County, chlamydia has risen from 304 to 316.7 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 64.4 to 150.2 per 100,000 (133%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.6 to 13.1 per 100,000 (264%).
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 Monroe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Monroe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Monroe County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 25.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Monroe County residents living with HIV, 87.5% are in care · 73.4% 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 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 Monroe County tests for syphilis.

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