STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Madison County, the county that includes Lee, compare with Florida and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#14 of 67 Florida counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 79% of the state
| Infection | Madison County | Florida | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 550.8 102 cases ▲ 10% | 498.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 361.8 67 cases ▲ 75% | 206.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 16.2 3 cases ▼ 16% | 19.3 | 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 Madison County, chlamydia has fallen from 673.4 to 550.8 per 100,000 (18%), gonorrhea has risen from 333.9 to 361.8 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.6 to 16.2 per 100,000 (189%).

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 Madison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Madison County HIV care continuum (2022)
Madison County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 22.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Madison County residents living with HIV, 81.8% are in care · 76.4% 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 Madison County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Southeast Seaboard Street cuts through a Lee where most households own their homes and most adults are married, the kind of stability that shapes how health decisions get made, often collectively, around kitchen tables rather than solo calendars. With average households running larger than in most Florida towns and well over half of adults partnered up, one person's decision to get screened tends to ripple outward: a partner's status matters, a shared routine makes follow-through easier, and a modest household budget, reflected in the area's low typical rents and home values, keeps cost sensitivity real. That budget reality has a direct bearing on testing. A workforce participation rate below the state norm means many residents aren't clocking the standard 9-to-5 week, and with Lee's near-total car dependence, every appointment requires planning a trip.
The options listed on this page serve the area but aren't just a short walk from Southeast Demotis Loop. For people in their late teens and twenties, who are still building routines and relationship patterns, that planning threshold is exactly where regular screening can break down or hold. Madison County's STI figures are already visible on this page, and for someone living in Lee (embedded in a close-knit household, on a careful budget) staying current with those numbers means understanding that local transmission doesn't stay abstract for long when households average three and a half people.
Getting there
At 4.98/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Lee 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 Florida 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 Florida, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Florida 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.
