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.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Northampton County tests for syphilis.

PA 191 bends south past Veterans Memorial Square and opens into a straight shot toward Easton, a drive that puts most of the clinics listed on this page within fifteen to twenty minutes of anywhere in Nazareth. That kind of access matters more than it sounds when screening is easy to postpone. Most households here hold close to three people, and fewer than half own their homes, with typical rents sitting under a thousand dollars a month.
That rent-to-income squeeze is real for a lot of younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when new relationships overlap with the years chlamydia and gonorrhea spread most readily, because discretionary spending on anything that feels optional tends to disappear first. Having testing options nearby, several of them low-cost or sliding-scale, means the financial case for skipping a test is genuinely weaker than it might be elsewhere. Unemployment here runs notably higher than state averages, which means irregular schedules, gaps in employer coverage, and the kind of week where a clinic errand keeps getting pushed to tomorrow.

Confidentiality & consent in PennsylvaniaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Pennsylvania 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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Pennsylvania, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Pennsylvania 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.
