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.

Confidentiality & consent in Puerto Rico
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Puerto Rico 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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Puerto Rico, public health clinics provide confidential STI testing and treatment; ask the clinic directly about consent requirements for minors.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT) is potentially allowable in Puerto Rico: it is not expressly authorized, but not prohibited either. Ask your provider whether they will prescribe treatment for a partner without a separate visit.
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.
