STD stats & rates

#78 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 11% of the state
| Infection | Knox County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 156.3 99 cases ▼ 66% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 26.8 17 cases ▼ 84% | 168 | 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 Knox County, chlamydia has fallen from 245.5 to 156.3 per 100,000 (36%), gonorrhea has fallen from 63.8 to 26.8 per 100,000 (58%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.6 to 9.5 per 100,000 (494%).
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 Knox County.
Local HIV snapshot
Knox County HIV care continuum (2023)
Knox County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Knox County residents living with HIV, 91.9% are in care · 91.9% 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 Knox County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
People move to Gann for work at the larger employers in the county, or to be closer to family land, or because rent here leaves room to breathe. That mix of young adults, people in their late teens through their thirties establishing themselves, means STD testing clinics and health providers in and around Gann serve someone at every stage: the newly partnered, the between-relationships curious, the routine-screening conscious. Testing happens quietly, without fanfare, which suits a town where discretion isn't performance but default. The clinics listed on this page operate under confidentiality rules that exist whether you need them or not.
Results don't circulate through town gossip or show up on insurance explanations that a roommate might glimpse. That separation between your test and anyone else's knowledge isn't a luxury here, it's how the system works, period. Gann's position near Millersburg Road keeps county health resources within reach, and the providers serving the area understand that a young person might be testing for the first time, or returning after years, or checking in between partners. Whatever the reason, the testing available in and around Gann treats each visit as routine and each person as someone with a right to answers.
Getting there

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