STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Chelan County, the county that includes Entiat, compare with Washington 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.
#11 of 39 Washington counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 72% of the state
| Infection | Chelan County | Washington | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 365 292 cases ▲ 3% | 354.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 63.8 51 cases ▼ 51% | 129.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 31.3 25 cases ▲ 47% | 21.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16.3 13 cases ▲ 30% | 12.5 | 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 Chelan County, chlamydia has risen from 341.5 to 365 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has risen from 46.8 to 63.8 per 100,000 (36%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6.3 to 31.3 per 100,000 (397%).

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 Chelan County.
Local HIV snapshot
Chelan County HIV care continuum (2021)
Chelan County recorded 7.5 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 6.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Chelan County residents living with HIV, 77.9% are in care · 67.4% 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 Chelan County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Dick Mesa and the quieter stretches near Entiat Park draw a mix of longtime homeowners and a smaller share of renters whose monthly costs already leave limited room for extras, so when something like a screening visit competes with rent, it can lose. That pressure is real even with unemployment essentially negligible here, because labor-force participation sits well below full engagement, meaning a portion of residents aren't drawing steady paychecks at all. For the young adults and people in their late twenties forming new relationships who make up a meaningful slice of Entiat's population, those financial and scheduling constraints hit hardest: this is also the stretch of life when STI rates climb sharply, and when easy, low-cost access to testing genuinely changes whether it happens at all. Reaching any clinic means getting in a car and committing real time to the trip.
That's not a small ask for someone working irregular hours or juggling a household that, on average, runs nearly three people. The majority of households here are married-couple families, which shapes how people think about sexual health. As a shared concern, not a solo errand. The range of options listed on this page, spread across the region accessible via US 97 Alt, means residents near Theodore "Buzz" Butts Park can weigh cost, distance, and hours against each other rather than accepting a single inconvenient default.
Getting there
At 5.32/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Entiat 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 Washington 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 Washington, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Washington 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.
