STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Bosque County, the county that includes Morgan, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#225 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 11% of the state
| Infection | Bosque County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 152.7 29 cases ▼ 69% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 15.8 3 cases ▼ 91% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 15 | 15.8 |

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Bosque County, chlamydia has fallen from 285.2 to 152.7 per 100,000 (46%), gonorrhea has fallen from 87.7 to 15.8 per 100,000 (82%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 10.8 to 10.7 per 100,000 (1%).

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 Bosque County.
Local HIV snapshot
Bosque County HIV care continuum (2021)
Bosque County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Bosque County residents living with HIV, 90.9% are in care · 86.4% 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 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 Bosque County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
TX 174 cuts straight through Morgan as Harris Street, and the town it passes through is one where homeownership runs deep. Most households here have roots, not leases. For the substantial share of residents who do rent, $717 a month leaves little slack for anything that feels discretionary, which is exactly how an STI screening can get quietly shelved when it isn't easy to reach. That calculus hits hardest for younger adults still sorting out relationships, jobs, and where they'll land: the years when chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis peak in transmission.
With just over half the adult population in the labor force and a notably large average household, Morgan runs on schedules that leave narrow windows for mid-week appointments in another county. When the nearest testing option is a real drive from town, nothing listed on this page sits in Morgan itself, even a willing person can talk themselves out of going. The most practical move is confirming hours and fees for the options listed here before making the trip down TX 174, so the visit lands on a day that actually works.
Getting there
At 4.67/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Morgan 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 Texas 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 Texas, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Texas 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.
