STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pitt County, the county that includes House, 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.

| Infection | Pitt County | North Carolina | United States |

| Chlamydia | 1202 2,105 cases ▲ 98% | 607.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 532.2 932 cases ▲ 119% | 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 Pitt County, chlamydia has risen from 1140.1 to 1202 per 100,000 (5%), gonorrhea has risen from 514 to 532.2 per 100,000 (4%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 12.9 to 32 per 100,000 (148%).

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 Pitt County.
Local HIV snapshot
Pitt County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pitt County recorded 26.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 15.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Pitt County residents living with HIV, 80.4% are in care · 70.7% 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 Pitt County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
College Park Apartments and University Park fill and empty on a rhythm tied to the academic calendar, cycling renters through rather than settling them down. That kind of residential churn, combined with a relatively small average household and a low rate of married adults, means many people in their late teens and twenties are navigating relationships and healthcare choices with fewer built-in support structures around them. The unemployment picture adds another layer. With roughly one in eleven labor-force participants out of work, cost and schedule both factor into whether screening actually happens.
Rent around $941 a month leaves little slack in a budget, making the free or low-cost options among the clinics listed here genuinely consequential rather than just convenient. Something easier said than done on a Thursday when work hours are unpredictable. None of that needs to stand in the way. The clinic cards above show hours, fees, and distance in plain terms so anyone can find what actually fits their situation.
Whether that's a sliding-scale appointment near The Grid or a quick stop on the way back from Wildwood Park. Younger adults here are already dealing with enough logistical complexity; STI screening doesn't have to be one more thing to figure out from scratch.
Getting there
At 8.42/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in House generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
