STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Pike County, the county that includes Hull, compare with Illinois and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#67 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Pike County | Illinois | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 209.2 30 cases ▼ 62% | 557.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 41.8 6 cases ▼ 79% | 202.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 11.6 | 15.8 |

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 Pike County, chlamydia has risen from 128.9 to 209.2 per 100,000 (62%), gonorrhea has fallen from 101.8 to 41.8 per 100,000 (59%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6.8 to 6.8 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 Pike County.
Local HIV snapshot
Pike County HIV care continuum (2023)
Pike County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.7 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 Pike County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Hull, Illinois takes its name from the English port city, a nod to the town's early settlers and their maritime heritage. That connection to the water and to movement (people coming and going, building lives) remains part of Hull's character today. Like any town where young adults form a significant part of the population, sexual health and confidential testing are matters that deserve straightforward access and trust. STI testing in and around Hull is available through the clinics and providers listed on this page. Many young people in their late teens through their thirties find that knowing their status is simply part of being responsible, not something to delay or approach with shame.
The testing itself is quick, and results remain confidential; a clinic visit tells you what you need to know without broadcasting anything to neighbors or coworkers. Hull Park and Hull City Park anchor community life here, places where residents gather and build connections. That same spirit of openness (of showing up, of taking care of what matters) applies to sexual health. Whether you're new to the area, between relationships, or in one, testing is a private choice made public only if you decide to share it.
Getting there
At 5.62/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Hull 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 Illinois 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 Illinois, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Illinois 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.
