STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Scott County, the county that includes McCausland, compare with Iowa and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#8 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 92% of the state
| Infection | Scott County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 539.4 940 cases ▲ 26% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 229 399 cases ▲ 96% | 116.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 14.9 26 cases ▲ 45% | 10.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.3 11 cases ▼ 32% | 9.2 | 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 Scott County, chlamydia has fallen from 577.7 to 539.4 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 293.1 to 229 per 100,000 (22%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.4 to 14.9 per 100,000 (338%).

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 Scott County.
Local HIV snapshot
Scott County HIV care continuum (2023)
Scott County recorded 4.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Scott County residents living with HIV, 91% are in care · 85.3% 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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
North Park anchors the quieter rhythms of McCausland in a way that makes the town feel genuinely settled: most households here are owner-occupied, most adults are married, and the average household runs to three people or more. That kind of stability shapes daily routines, and it also shapes how health decisions get made, often folded into a busy family calendar rather than treated as a standalone errand. That said, a share of residents in their late teens and twenties live here too, the years when STI transmission is most common and when testing tends to get postponed the longest.
With a meaningful portion of local households earning into six figures, cost is less often the barrier; the more common obstacle is time and distance. Getting to a clinic means a drive out of McCausland regardless of which option you choose, so the practical move is to check hours before you go and confirm whether a same-day slot is available. McCausland Boat Access draws people to this stretch of the county regularly; that same familiarity with the roads east toward Scott County's service centers makes scheduling one appointment, once a year, a genuinely manageable trip.
Getting there
At 4.94/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in McCausland 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 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.
