STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Franklin County, the county that includes Orrstown, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#31 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 54% of the state
| Infection | Franklin County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 226.8 358 cases ▼ 46% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 31 49 cases ▼ 79% | 144.7 | 179.5 |

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 Franklin County, chlamydia has fallen from 282.8 to 226.8 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has fallen from 76.3 to 31 per 100,000 (59%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 1.9 to 3.2 per 100,000 (68%).

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 Franklin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Franklin County HIV care continuum (2023)
Franklin County recorded 8.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Franklin County residents living with HIV, 84.1% are in care · 75.3% 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 Franklin County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Timber Hill rises above much of Orrstown, and the view from its crest takes in a landscape where young adults, late teens through their thirties, have planted roots, started work, or landed back home. For people in that season of life, knowing one's STI status quietly and without fanfare becomes part of staying healthy. Testing clinics and urgent-care facilities in and around Orrstown listed on this page offer confidential screening; what happens in those visits stays sealed, and results reach only you unless you choose otherwise. A lunch break, an afternoon, or a quick stop after work can be enough.
Clinics in the area understand that people value their privacy, not as a luxury, but as a baseline expectation they deserve. Getting tested does not require explanation to anyone else, and the results themselves carry no automatic reporting to employers, schools, or family. That separation between your health decision and the rest of your life is real here. For anyone unsure where to start, the clinics listed on this page welcome straightforward questions and make the process as direct as it should be.
Getting there

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).
In Pennsylvania, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
