STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Gunnison County, the county that includes Marble, compare with Colorado and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#31 of 64 Colorado counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 52% of the state
| Infection | Gunnison County | Colorado | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 254 44 cases ▼ 42% | 435.1 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 28.9 5 cases ▼ 78% | 128.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 16 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.8 1 cases ▼ 44% | 10.4 | 16 |

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 Gunnison County, chlamydia has fallen from 254.2 to 254 per 100,000 (0%), gonorrhea has risen from 23.6 to 28.9 per 100,000 (22%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 5.9 to 5.9 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 Gunnison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Gunnison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Gunnison County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 9.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Gunnison County residents living with HIV, 77.8% are in care · 66.7% 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 Gunnison County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Crystal River Jeep Tours anchors a stretch of Marble where long-term homeowners make up the clear majority of residents: people who've planted themselves here, built households, and tend to organize their lives around routines that don't always leave room for an extra errand across town. Nearly six in ten adults are married, households run a little over two people on average, and slightly more than half the adult population is in the labor force at any given time.
That planning burden lands hardest on younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are still establishing themselves here, often renting at rates that leave less financial breathing room than the ownership-heavy majority enjoys. The testing options listed on this page exist specifically to shrink that project down to something manageable.
Getting there
At 10.17/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Marble generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Colorado 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 Colorado, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Colorado 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.
