STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Scott County, the county that includes Oneida, compare with Tennessee 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.
#79 of 95 Tennessee counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 17% of the state
| Infection | Scott County | Tennessee | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 175.9 39 cases ▼ 66% | 517.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 13.5 3 cases ▼ 93% | 186.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.5 1 cases ▼ 70% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 11.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 9 2 cases ▼ 66% | 26.4 | 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 Scott County, chlamydia has fallen from 297.5 to 175.9 per 100,000 (41%), gonorrhea has fallen from 45.8 to 13.5 per 100,000 (71%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 4.5 to 4.5 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 Scott County.
Local HIV snapshot
Scott County HIV care continuum (2022)
Scott County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 14.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Scott County residents living with HIV, 83.3% are in care · 83.3% 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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Oneida City Park sits at the quiet center of a town where most people know their neighbors, yet the logistics of getting a health screening here are anything short of simple. US 27, Alberta Street running through the middle of everything, is practically the only corridor connecting residents to services beyond Scott County, and with no testing options appearing on this page for Oneida itself, anyone pursuing STI screening is already looking at a real drive out. That distance lands differently depending on your week. With labor-force participation well below typical national levels and unemployment running high, many households are managing stretched schedules and limited transportation options. Conditions that make a long trip for routine care feel like a genuine obstacle rather than a minor inconvenience.
More than half of Oneida households are renters, and with typical monthly rents keeping budgets tight, out-of-pocket testing costs become a real calculation. Young adults in their late teens and twenties, a substantial slice of the population here and the years when STI exposure is most common, are often navigating both pressures at once: irregular income and no dedicated time off. For residents without coverage or with high deductibles, the options listed on this page vary considerably in fee structure. Sliding-scale and income-based clinics are worth filtering for first, at a typical rent of $470 a month, even a modest flat fee for a single visit can tip a tight budget.
Getting there
At 4.28/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Oneida 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Tennessee 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.
