STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Yavapai County, the county that includes Mayer, compare with Arizona and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
#15 of 15 Arizona counties for chlamydia, among the lowest in the state
| Infection | Yavapai County | Arizona | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 166.6 415 cases ▼ 70% | 552.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 24.9 62 cases ▼ 87% | 190.7 | 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 Yavapai County, chlamydia has fallen from 178.7 to 166.6 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 46.1 to 24.9 per 100,000 (46%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 5.9 to 3.2 per 100,000 (46%).

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 Yavapai County.
Local HIV snapshot
Yavapai County HIV care continuum (2023)
Yavapai County recorded 7.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Yavapai County residents living with HIV, 84.5% are in care · 81.1% 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 Yavapai County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Centennial Park sits at the quiet center of Mayer, a small community where daily life runs along AZ 69 whether you're heading toward Prescott or back through Cordes Junction, and where getting tested for STIs means planning ahead, because options listed on this page require a deliberate drive rather than a walk down the block. That reality lands differently here given who lives in Mayer. Nearly three in four households own their homes, and the average household holds close to four people. Extended families, couples, adult children sharing space under one roof.
More than half of adult residents are married. That kind of household density means sexual health decisions ripple outward, and routine screening is a practical consideration for households, not just individuals. At the same time, labor-force participation sits below half the adult population, and unemployment is meaningfully elevated. A combination that can make clinic hours and out-of-pocket costs real obstacles, not abstract ones.
For the share of residents in their late teens and twenties, years when STI exposure tends to peak and when people are least likely to have an established doctor, the drive along AZ 69 to the nearest listed site can feel like the whole barrier. Many options listed here offer sliding-scale fees or extended hours, which matters specifically when a large portion of Mayer households are stretching a modest income across nearly four people.
Getting there
At 5.12/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Mayer 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 Arizona 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 Arizona, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Arizona 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.
