STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tuolumne County, the county that includes Femmons, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#51 of 58 California counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 12% of the state
| Infection | Tuolumne County | California | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 167.9 91 cases ▼ 66% | 491.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 42.4 23 cases ▼ 78% | 190.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.2 5 cases ▼ 44% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.4 4 cases ▼ 61% | 19.1 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 25.8 14 cases ▼ 45% | 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 Tuolumne County, chlamydia has fallen from 214 to 167.9 per 100,000 (22%), gonorrhea has fallen from 113.3 to 42.4 per 100,000 (63%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 12.6 to 9.2 per 100,000 (27%).

Local HIV snapshot
Tuolumne County HIV care continuum (2020)
Tuolumne County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Tuolumne County residents living with HIV, 63.6% are in care · 50% 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 Tuolumne County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Femmons' neighborhoods carry the quiet rhythm of a place where most residents have put down roots: the homeownership rate here is among the higher you'll find in the California foothills, and households tend to be small, often just two people. That settled character shapes the town's pace, but it also means the younger adults who live here, people in their late teens and twenties navigating new relationships and new routines, can feel like a minority in a community built around longer-term stability. For that group, Tuolumne County's STI landscape is not abstract; it's the reality behind why regular screening matters even in a place that feels low-key. The workforce picture adds another layer. Labor-force participation is modest, and unemployment runs noticeably high, which means a meaningful share of residents are managing stretched budgets and irregular schedules.
Not a combination that makes a clinic visit feel easy to arrange. Thompson Peak frames the western skyline for anyone heading out on that drive. Before the trip, the single clinic listed here is worth a close look for hours and sliding-scale fees. Confirming those details in advance turns a good instinct into a kept appointment.
Getting there
At 5.26/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Femmons 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 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.
