| Gonorrhea | 10.6 1 cases ▼ 92% | 134.5 | 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 Yellow Medicine County, chlamydia has fallen from 157.4 to 73.9 per 100,000 (53%), gonorrhea has risen from 10.5 to 10.6 per 100,000 (1%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 10.6 to 10.6 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 Yellow Medicine County.
Local HIV snapshot
Yellow Medicine County HIV care continuum (2023)
Yellow Medicine County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. 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 Yellow Medicine County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
People drift to Hanley Falls for work in agriculture and grain handling, drawn by seasonal jobs and the machinery operations that define the region. That kind of work (physical, hands-on, sometimes transient) brings young adults through town regularly, many in their late teens and twenties, at an age when sexual health deserves straightforward attention without fanfare. Testing facilities in and around Hanley Falls listed on this page offer the confidentiality that matters when you're new to a place or simply prefer to keep health decisions private. The Minnesota Machinery Museum sits as a reminder of what has anchored this community for generations.
Equally rooted are the health services that serve residents year-round, including STI screening conducted with the same directness you'd find in any clinic. No judgment, no surprises. Providers understand that people working seasonal shifts or managing irregular schedules need appointments that fit their lives, not the other way around. What happens in a testing room stays there.
Results go to you alone, and the conversation with a clinician about next steps is separate from every other part of your life in town. For young adults passing through or settling in, that separation between private health care and public life is not a luxury. It's how things work.
Getting there
At 4.42/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Hanley Falls 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 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.
