#72 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 27% of the state
| Infection | Floyd County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 182.7 28 cases ▼ 57% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 32.6 5 cases ▼ 72% | 116.8 | 179.5 |

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 Floyd County, chlamydia has fallen from 371.2 to 182.7 per 100,000 (51%), gonorrhea has fallen from 185.6 to 32.6 per 100,000 (82%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6.4 to 6.5 per 100,000 (2%).

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 Floyd County.
Local HIV snapshot
Floyd County HIV care continuum (2023)
Floyd County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Floyd County residents living with HIV, 75% 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 Floyd County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Floyd Park sits at the quiet center of a town where most households own their homes outright, a stability that can, paradoxically, make health maintenance feel less urgent. When your mortgage is modest and your neighbors have lived on the same block for decades, a routine screening can seem like something to schedule eventually rather than now. But Floyd's young adults, people in their late teens and twenties building careers and relationships here, face the same STI risks as their peers anywhere, and the county's own rate data confirms those risks are real. Two details about everyday life in Floyd shape how easily testing actually happens. Not a spontaneous errand.
At the same time, with nearly three in four residents in the workforce and household sizes running well above the state average, weekday mornings don't belong to anyone freely. An appointment has to fit around shift schedules, school runs, and shared vehicles. The low typical rent here does give some financial breathing room when a clinic charges a sliding-scale fee, that matters for younger adults who might otherwise hesitate at an unknown cost. Before leaving Floyd Park on a weekend afternoon, pulling up the options listed on this page and booking ahead takes about two minutes.
Getting there
At 4.25/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Floyd 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 Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.
Iowa 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.
