Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Bottineau County, chlamydia has fallen from 235.1 to 173.3 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has risen from 31.4 to 31.5 per 100,000 (0%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 15.8 to 15.8 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 Bottineau County.
Local HIV snapshot
Bottineau County HIV care continuum (2023)
Bottineau County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 3.2 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 Bottineau County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Landa skews heavily toward homeowners, more than four out of five households own their homes, and that stability shapes who's most likely to be navigating STI screening here. The renters, a smaller slice of the population, tend to be younger adults still sorting out careers and relationships, and it's that same group whose late teens and twenties carry the steepest risk for infections that often go undetected without routine testing. The local workforce is broadly employed and active, which means schedules are real constraints, not excuses. A $741 monthly rent against a modest home-value market leaves renters with tight enough margins that cost-accessible options matter, and the testing locations listed here vary enough in fees and hours to make it worth comparing before committing to one.
Nearly a third of Landa households pull in six figures, yet income alone doesn't simplify testing. Distance still does. For younger adults who don't yet own a car, have flexible hours, or know where to start, the practical answer is usually the clinic closest to where they already spend time on a Tuesday afternoon rather than the one that looks best on a map.
Getting there
At 3.41/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Landa 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 North Dakota 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 Dakota, a minor aged 14 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
North Dakota 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.
