STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Stevens County, the county that includes Morris, compare with Minnesota and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~38% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#32 of 87 Minnesota counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 63% of the state
| Infection | Stevens County | Minnesota | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 236.4 23 cases ▼ 38% | 379.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 30.8 3 cases ▼ 77% | 134.5 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 6.7 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 14.7 | 29.5 |
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 Stevens County, chlamydia has risen from 217.1 to 236.4 per 100,000 (9%), and gonorrhea has fallen from 31 to 30.8 per 100,000 (1%).
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 Stevens County.
Local HIV snapshot
Stevens County HIV care continuum (2023)
Stevens County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. 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 Stevens County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Atlantic Avenue cuts straight through the center of Morris, and for most of the clinics listed here, reaching one means a car trip. There's no realistic walking option in a town where distances add up faster than they look on a map. That practical reality shapes when and whether people actually follow through on screening, especially for the large share of Morris residents who are younger adults still building routines around new jobs, new relationships, and budgets that don't leave much cushion. At around $760 a month for rent, discretionary spending on health appointments can feel like a genuine calculation rather than a given.
The household picture here is mixed in ways that matter: a meaningful portion of residents own their homes and have settled lives, but a substantial renting population, many of them likely students or early-career workers near the University of Minnesota Morris campus, cycles through on shorter timelines with less established care relationships. Nearly seven in ten residents are in the workforce, and with unemployment as low as it is, packed schedules rather than idle ones are the norm. Evenings and weekends aren't a convenience preference; they're the only realistic window for a lot of people. Green River Park and Kjenstad Park anchor the quieter edges of town, but the clinics worth knowing about are clustered along the MN 28 and Atlantic Avenue corridors, which means the drive, not the walk, is the plan worth making.
Getting there
At 7.24/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Morris 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 Minnesota 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 Minnesota, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Minnesota 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.
