STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Iberia Parish, the parish that includes Delcambre, compare with Louisiana 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.
#11 of 64 Louisiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 83% of the state
| Infection | Iberia Parish | Louisiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 968.1 655 cases ▲ 22% | 792.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 300 203 cases ▲ 4% | 288.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 17.7 12 cases ▼ 32% | 26.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14.8 10 cases ▼ 24% | 19.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 44.3 30 cases ▼ 16% | 52.6 | 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 Iberia Parish, chlamydia has risen from 893.8 to 968.1 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 327.5 to 300 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10 to 17.7 per 100,000 (77%).
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 Iberia Parish.
Local HIV snapshot
Iberia Parish HIV care continuum (2023)
Iberia Parish recorded 18 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Iberia Parish residents living with HIV, 82.7% are in care · 75% 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 Iberia Parish tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Remy Landry Park anchors the quieter side of Delcambre, where most households own their homes and have put down roots beside neighbors they've known for years. That settled character, though, sits alongside a labor market where a notable share of working-age adults are between jobs, and when income is uncertain, a screening appointment can feel like one more thing that costs too much or falls at the wrong time. Those pressures land unevenly on younger adults, still forming relationships and navigating irregular work schedules, who need testing options that don't require half a day's planning.
The options listed on this page are spread in and around the area, so knowing which one fits your schedule before you leave matters. Household budgets here tend to run lean: typical rents are modest by most measures, but with unemployment running high and fewer than one in eight households bringing in over six figures, even a low-cost visit can give someone pause. For a resident without employer-sponsored coverage (renting one of Delcambre's more affordable units, piecing together part-time work) the sliding-scale and no-cost options among the clinics listed here are worth looking at closely before booking.
Getting there
At 4.7/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Delcambre 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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Louisiana 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.
