STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Morrison County, the county that includes Flensburg, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#42 of 87 Minnesota counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 52% of the state
| Infection | Morrison County | Minnesota | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 213.1 73 cases ▼ 44% | 379.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 35 12 cases ▼ 74% | 134.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.9 1 cases ▼ 67% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 6.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 14.7 | 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 Morrison County, chlamydia has risen from 208.8 to 213.1 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 61.7 to 35 per 100,000 (43%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.9 to 2.9 per 100,000.
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 Morrison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Morrison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Morrison County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Morrison County residents living with HIV, 71.4% are in care · 64.3% 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 Morrison County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
State Highway 27 runs through a Flensburg where most households own their homes and a clear majority of adults are married: the kind of place where health decisions often get made together, worked into schedules that revolve around work, family, and the rhythms of a small rural community. With nearly three in four residents actively employed and unemployment remarkably low, the dominant constraint here isn't income instability so much as time: long working days, shared vehicles, and the simple distance between Flensburg and the nearest full-service clinic. That distance matters most for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically at the highest point of STI risk in their lives.
Typical rents here are modest, which eases one layer of cost concern, but options listed on this page still represent real drives, real schedule coordination, and real decisions about when to go. Morrison County's STI figures aren't abstract, they reflect people living in communities exactly like this one. Staying current with screening means that when those county numbers shift, residents of Flensburg are already ahead of them rather than catching up.
Getting there

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