STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Windham County, the county that includes Londonderry, compare with Vermont and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
#11 of 14 Vermont counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 21% of the state
| Infection | Windham County | Vermont | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 150.1 69 cases ▼ 26% | 201.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 34.8 16 cases ▲ 2% | 34 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.2 1 cases ▲ 340% | 0.5 | 15.8 |

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 Windham County, chlamydia has risen from 87.1 to 150.1 per 100,000 (72%), gonorrhea has risen from 21.8 to 34.8 per 100,000 (60%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 2.2 to 2.2 per 100,000.

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 Windham County.
Local HIV snapshot
Windham County HIV care continuum (2022)
Windham County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 1.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Windham County residents living with HIV, 50% are in care · 50% 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 Windham County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
The hills around Londonderry support a mix of small farms, forestry work, and home-based trades. The kind of livelihood that keeps people rooted in one place for decades. That stability brings its own rhythm: mortgages, school calendars, the long view. Routine health screening fits naturally into that frame, and STI testing is no exception.
Young adults in the community, from late teens into their thirties, benefit from the same confidential checkups that fit quietly into any regular preventive care schedule. Testing in and around Londonderry listed on this page reflects what residents expect: straightforward access without fanfare. The South Londonderry Village Historic District and the quieter stretches near Glebe Mountain and Cobble Hill sit within a landscape where many households have deep ties to the area. That constancy shapes how people approach private health matters: discreetly, on their own timeline, without broadcast.
A screening visit doesn't require explanation or advance announcement, it's a personal decision, handled with the same professionalism as any other medical appointment. Whether someone is establishing care with a new provider or returning for routine follow-up, the clinics and urgent-care sites serving Londonderry maintain the confidentiality that matters most. Results don't circulate; conversations stay between patient and provider. That separation between a health visit and everyday life is a given, not a hard-won exception.

Two things that actually depend on Vermont 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 Vermont, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Vermont 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.
