| 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
STD testing in Hazel Run means planning ahead. The clinic landscape in Yellow Medicine County is sparse, and the nearest walk-in options require travel beyond town limits. MN 67 connects Hazel Run to larger medical centers where confidential screening is standard practice, but that drive, and the appointment-scheduling that comes with it, shapes how residents approach sexual health care. For those who prioritize early detection, that distance is manageable; for others, it becomes a reason to delay.
Young adults in Hazel Run, a demographic present here in meaningful numbers, often face the particular math of small-town life: weigh the health benefit of testing against the reality that clinical staff may be familiar faces, or that results take time to access. Confidentiality isn't compromised; it's simply something you plan for differently. Knowing who provides testing in and around Hazel Run, listed on this page, removes one layer of that calculation. Routine screening matters most when it's frictionless enough to become habit rather than crisis response.
The providers and clinics available to Hazel Run residents (some local, some requiring the drive along MN 67) offer that opportunity. What changes is the honest acknowledgment that getting tested here is an intentional choice, not an impulse, and that clarity itself can sharpen the decision to follow through.
Getting there
At 6.35/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Hazel Run 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.
