Iredell County Health Department in Statesville runs STI care through a public health department infrastructure, pairing the standard panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, conventional HIV, and herpes) with same-visit bacterial treatment, HPV and hepatitis A/B vaccines, and sliding-scale fees that bottom out at zero.
Iredell County Health Department charges nothing for any service on its STI menu: tests, treatment, vaccines, and counseling all carry a $0 floor. That applies across the board, regardless of insurance status, so the sliding scale isn't a fallback; it's the ceiling.
Spanish is one of two languages in which Iredell County Health Department delivers STI care directly. That means clinical conversations (exposure history, treatment instructions, follow-up plans) happen in Spanish without mediation, preserving precision where it counts most.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Iredell County Health Department tests for herpes. An infection that standard public-clinic panels routinely exclude. Adding herpes serology to a single appointment changes what one visit can actually rule out.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Iredell County, the county that includes Harmony, compare with North Carolina and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#55 of 100 North Carolina counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 45% of the state
| Infection | Iredell County | North Carolina | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 411.1 821 cases ▼ 32% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 146.7 293 cases ▼ 40% | 243.2 | 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 Iredell County, chlamydia has risen from 385.1 to 411.1 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 193.4 to 146.7 per 100,000 (24%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.7 to 6 per 100,000 (122%).

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 Iredell County.
Local HIV snapshot
Iredell County HIV care continuum (2023)
Iredell County recorded 5.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Iredell County residents living with HIV, 80.8% are in care · 73.1% 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 Iredell County tests for syphilis.

Harmony residents who want straightforward screening without that small-town visibility have clinics and testing services in and around Harmony listed on this page, some within the immediate area, others a short drive away. The confidentiality you receive at these locations isn't negotiable; what you discuss with a provider stays with them, and test results are yours alone to share or keep private. Young adults in their late teens through their thirties, who make up a meaningful part of Harmony's population, often find routine screening the simplest way to stay on top of their sexual health between partners or as part of regular checkups. Whether you're new to the area or have roots here, testing clinics offer the same professional care and discretion you'd expect anywhere.
No judgment, no gossip, no assumptions about why you're there. Finding a provider that fits your schedule and comfort level matters more than distance alone. The clinics serving Harmony take walk-ins, offer evening and weekend hours, and handle results with the same care they'd want for someone they care about. Your health decisions belong to you.

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