STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Hildale, compare with Utah and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~37% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#5 of 29 Utah counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 83% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Utah | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 275.6 558 cases ▼ 14% | 322 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 48.9 99 cases ▼ 37% | 77.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3 6 cases ▼ 69% | 9.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 0.5 1 cases ▼ 90% | 4.8 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.9 16 cases ▼ 19% | 9.7 | 29.5 |

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 Washington County, chlamydia has risen from 269 to 275.6 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has risen from 41 to 48.9 per 100,000 (19%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.7 to 3 per 100,000 (76%).
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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2023)
Washington County recorded 8.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 73.5% are in care · 63.6% 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Maxwell Park sits at the center of a community where households run notably large and most adults rent rather than own, circumstances that shape how health decisions get made. When six or seven people share a home on a modest monthly rent, private time and discretionary spending both require negotiation. Routine screening can feel like one more thing that competes for bandwidth in a household where schedules, childcare, and costs are already distributed across many people. With fewer than half of adults participating in the labor force and a majority of households renting rather than building equity, the financial and scheduling margins here are thinner than in communities with higher homeownership and broader workforce engagement.
The options listed on this page account for that, including sliding-scale and low-cost visits accessible to people without employer coverage. Washington County's STI figures reflect patterns common across rural communities with large young-adult populations. For anyone living near Top Rock or The Windlass, staying current with screening means the difference between catching something early, when treatment is simplest, and carrying an infection through a household where close quarters make transmission quietly easy.
Getting there

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