STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Nashville, compare with Illinois and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#68 of 102 Illinois counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 33% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Illinois | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 206.9 28 cases ▼ 63% | 557.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 44.3 6 cases ▼ 78% | 202.3 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 11.6 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.4 1 cases ▼ 32% | 10.9 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.4 1 cases ▼ 72% | 26 | 29.5 |

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 Washington County, chlamydia has fallen from 210.7 to 206.9 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 58.1 to 44.3 per 100,000 (24%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 7.3 to 7.3 per 100,000.
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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2021)
Washington County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 14.7 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Local context
A trip to Lions Park or a walk past the Washington County Historical Society Museum offers a glimpse of Nashville's steady rhythm: the kind of place where people build lives, raise families, and stay. That rootedness brings stability, but it also means that questions about sexual health can feel more complicated when you know your neighbors. Testing in and around Nashville listed on this page serves residents who want straightforward, discreet screening without the weight of running into someone from church or work. The clinics and providers available here understand that confidentiality isn't performative; it's the foundation that lets you get answers without rehearsing explanations. Young adults in Nashville (whether they've just moved back, started a job, or are navigating early relationships) have particular reason to make screening part of routine care.
The affordable cost of living here means fewer barriers to accessing that care, though finding a provider who respects your privacy can still feel urgent when you're embedded in a close community. Testing slots and walk-in hours in and around Nashville give you flexibility to fit screening into a regular week. Whether you're seeking a first test, returning for a follow-up, or screening as part of staying healthy with a partner, the providers listed here handle these visits with the same matter-of-fact approach you'd want.

Two things that actually depend on Illinois 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 Illinois, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Illinois 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.
