STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Harrison County, the county that includes Scottsville, compare with Texas and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#47 of 254 Texas counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 81% of the state
| Infection | Harrison County | Texas | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 481 341 cases ▼ 2% | 491.9 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 119.9 85 cases ▼ 32% | 176.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.2 3 cases ▼ 72% | 15 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 16.9 12 cases ▼ 36% | 26.4 | 16 |

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 Harrison County, chlamydia has risen from 344.3 to 481 per 100,000 (40%), gonorrhea has fallen from 145.3 to 119.9 per 100,000 (17%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 7.3 to 4.2 per 100,000 (42%).

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 Harrison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Harrison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Harrison County recorded 18.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 20.2 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Harrison County residents living with HIV, 73.6% are in care · 63.6% 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 Harrison County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Airport Park sits at the edge of Scottsville, where families and joggers move through open space while the town's health needs quietly extend beyond what any park can address. STI testing here serves a population with particular urgency: young adults in their late teens through thirties navigate relationships, jobs, and futures where knowing their status becomes practical self-care rather than crisis management. Testing in and around Scottsville listed on this page reflects that reality, clinics positioned to fit into routines, not interrupt them. Scottsville's layout means some residents travel to reach care, yet confidentiality itself is not harder to find here than anywhere else. A person walking into a testing site carries the same right to privacy as someone in a larger city; the difference is that here, the choice to test happens without the ambient anonymity of crowds.
Discretion is built into how clinics operate, not dependent on how many people walk their streets. Young adults in Scottsville who want routine screening, post-exposure peace of mind, or answers before starting a new relationship will find testing accessible through the providers and locations detailed on this page. Results remain between patient and provider. The decision to test rests entirely on the person making it.

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