STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Bossier Parish, the parish that includes Honore, compare with Louisiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#42 of 64 Louisiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Bossier Parish | Louisiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 637.2 827 cases ▼ 20% | 792.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 210.3 273 cases ▼ 27% | 288.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.5 24 cases ▼ 29% | 26.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.8 14 cases ▼ 45% | 19.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 31.6 41 cases ▼ 40% | 52.6 | 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 Bossier Parish, chlamydia has risen from 501.8 to 637.2 per 100,000 (27%), gonorrhea has fallen from 254.8 to 210.3 per 100,000 (17%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.8 to 18.5 per 100,000 (137%).
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 Bossier Parish.
Local HIV snapshot
Bossier Parish HIV care continuum (2023)
Bossier Parish recorded 10.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 22.5 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Bossier Parish residents living with HIV, 68.3% are in care · 59.5% 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 Bossier Parish tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Anderson Island Park sits quietly between neighborhoods where a sizable share of residents own their homes outright, but nearly four in ten are renting, often at costs that leave little slack in a monthly budget. That practical reality matters because this age group (still building relationships, often between jobs or early in careers) tends to be exactly where Bossier Parish's STI numbers concentrate. With unemployment running above the national average and only about two in three residents currently in the workforce, scheduling flexibility isn't something everyone has.
A $1,065 monthly rent doesn't leave much cushion for out-of-pocket testing fees, which makes the range of clinics and cost options listed on this page more than a convenience. It's a genuine variable in whether screening actually happens. The testing locations here span enough of the area that someone near Bayou Bend or closer to Brownlee Park can likely find a site that fits both their side of town and their pay schedule, which, in Honore, is often the deciding factor.
Getting there
At 8.15/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Honore 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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Louisiana 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.
