STD stats & rates

#32 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 68% of the state
| Infection | Fayette County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 291.5 56 cases ▼ 32% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 52.1 10 cases ▼ 55% | 116.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 10.3 | 15.8 |

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 Fayette County, chlamydia has risen from 256.3 to 291.5 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 194.8 to 52.1 per 100,000 (73%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.1 to 5.2 per 100,000 (2%).

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 Fayette County.
Local HIV snapshot
Fayette County HIV care continuum (2023)
Fayette County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Fayette County residents living with HIV, 91.7% are in care · 83.3% 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 Fayette County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Maynard sits in a place where the nearest clinic with a full range of testing services may require a drive, yet the inconvenience of distance doesn't have to mean delay. Young adults in their late teens through their thirties, a significant presence here, often find that a single trip to get screened, rather than putting it off, saves the mental weight of waiting. Testing sites and providers in and around Maynard are listed on this page with their locations and hours; many will handle your visit with genuine discretion, understanding that confidentiality matters more in a town where people cross paths regularly. The practical truth is that planning ahead, knowing where you'll go and when, makes the process smoother than it feels in the moment. Some residents choose to combine a testing visit with another errand or appointment, while others prefer to travel beyond immediate surroundings for added privacy.
Both approaches are common and valid. What matters is that testing is available and that you can reach it. Whether you're new to screening or returning for routine care, the providers listed here have handled your situation before. Your results remain confidential regardless of where you live or whom you might know in town.
Getting there

Two things that actually depend on Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.
Iowa 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.
