STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Mingo County, the county that includes Delbarton, compare with West Virginia and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#36 of 55 West Virginia counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 35% of the state
| Infection | Mingo County | West Virginia | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 145.3 32 cases ▼ 42% | 249 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 22.7 5 cases ▼ 59% | 54.7 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 9.1 2 cases ▲ 49% | 6.1 | 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 Mingo County, chlamydia has fallen from 165.5 to 145.3 per 100,000 (12%), gonorrhea has fallen from 42.4 to 22.7 per 100,000 (46%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.2 to 4.5 per 100,000 (7%).
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 Mingo County.
Local HIV snapshot
Mingo County HIV care continuum (2023)
Mingo County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Mingo County residents living with HIV, 100% are in care · 72.7% 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 Mingo County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
People move to Delbarton to work in the mines or to stay close to family who do, and that kind of life (long shifts, tight schedules, limited downtime) doesn't always leave room to think about sexual health until something feels wrong. The town sits in Mingo County where Buffalo Mountain rises to the east and US 52 runs through, connecting residents to the wider region. Young adults here, whether they've just arrived or grown up on Pigeon Creek Drive and its surroundings, often find themselves weighing privacy against convenience when it comes to STI testing. What makes testing in and around Delbarton work is that clinics understand the rhythms of a working community.
Appointments can fit around shifts, and staff know that confidentiality isn't theoretical. It's the difference between getting screened and staying silent. The providers listed on this page offer routine testing without judgment and without the assumption that results need to travel through the grapevine. Screening early catches infections before they become complications, and it's straightforward enough that putting it off rarely makes sense once you decide to do it.
Whether you're new to town or rooted here, the testing available locally treats your health as something between you and your provider. No more, no less.

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