STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Chickasaw County, the county that includes New Hampton, compare with Iowa and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#75 of 99 Iowa counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 24% of the state
| Infection | Chickasaw County | Iowa | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 180.1 21 cases ▼ 58% | 426.8 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 8.6 1 cases ▼ 93% | 116.8 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 10.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 9.9 | 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 Chickasaw County, chlamydia has fallen from 208.1 to 180.1 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 83.3 to 8.6 per 100,000 (90%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.4 to 8.5 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 Chickasaw County.
Local HIV snapshot
Chickasaw County HIV care continuum (2022)
Chickasaw County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 5.1 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Chickasaw County residents living with HIV, 100% are in care · 100% 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 Chickasaw County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
New Hampton draws people who stay, families who buy houses on North Linn Avenue or near Stoltz Park and build lives around the school calendar, the co-op, the rhythm of work that pays enough to hold ground. That stability also means young adults here are often the children of those roots, or newcomers who chose a town where rent doesn't consume a paycheck. For anyone in that bracket, a confidential STI screening fits into ordinary health maintenance without fanfare. The clinics and providers listed on this page understand that testing in a place where you might run into your dentist at the grocery store still means your results stay sealed, your visit unremarked. New Hampton's affordability doesn't extend to corners cut on sexual health.
Testing is straightforward and discreet, the same privacy standards that apply everywhere apply here. Whether someone needs routine screening, follow-up after a new partner, or peace of mind before a relationship deepens, the care available in and around New Hampton treats each visit as confidential, not exceptional. The young adults here, whether they grew up in Chickasaw County or landed here for work, deserve the same access to honest, judgment-free testing that larger towns offer. That access exists.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
Two things that actually depend on Iowa 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 Iowa, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own; a parent may be notified only in the case of a positive HIV test result.
Iowa 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.
