STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Muskingum County, the county that includes New Concord, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~52% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#31 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 65% of the state

| Chlamydia | 276.9 239 cases ▼ 40% | 461.7 | 492.2 |

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 Muskingum County, chlamydia has fallen from 424.7 to 276.9 per 100,000 (35%), gonorrhea has fallen from 151.6 to 53.3 per 100,000 (65%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.1 to 25.5 per 100,000 (215%).

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 Muskingum County.
Local HIV snapshot
Muskingum County HIV care continuum (2023)
Muskingum County recorded 11 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Muskingum County residents living with HIV, 74.7% are in care · 69.3% 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 Muskingum County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Young adults drawn to New Concord often arrive for work at the college or to be near family in a town where the cost of living leaves room to breathe, and where a solid job doesn't consume every paycheck. That stability, though, can make health maintenance feel like something to put off. STD testing in and around New Concord is available through clinics and providers listed on this page, and the confidentiality that matters most when you're figuring out your own life in a place where people recognize faces is built into how these services operate. The community's mix of single adults and independent households means plenty of people navigate sexual health without fanfare or explanation to anyone else.
Testing sites near New Concord understand this straightforwardly: what you choose to know about your status stays yours alone, and the results don't travel beyond the clinical record unless you decide to share them. Routine screening (whether you're newly partnered, between relationships, or simply making health a regular habit) takes the same weight here as anywhere else. The John & Annie Glenn Museum and Village Hall Park anchor the town's sense of itself, but the actual work of staying well happens quietly in clinics where staff don't ask questions beyond what matters medically.
Getting there
At 4.13/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in New Concord 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 Ohio 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 Ohio, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Ohio 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.
