STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Beauregard Parish, the parish that includes Longville, compare with Louisiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~12% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#64 of 64 Louisiana counties for chlamydia, among the lowest in the state
| Infection | Beauregard Parish | Louisiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 274.3 101 cases ▼ 65% | 792.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 78.7 29 cases ▼ 73% | 288.4 | 179.5 |

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 Beauregard Parish, chlamydia has fallen from 279.1 to 274.3 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has risen from 73.9 to 78.7 per 100,000 (6%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 5.5 to 2.7 per 100,000 (51%).

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 Beauregard Parish.
Local HIV snapshot
Beauregard Parish HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Beauregard Parish residents living with HIV, 77.8% are in care · 64.4% 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 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 Beauregard Parish tests for syphilis.

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