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.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Addison County tests for syphilis.

The East Shoreham Covered Railroad Bridge stands as a quiet reminder of how long people stay put in this corner of Addison County, and Shoreham's residents, by and large, do stay. Homeownership runs deep here, and so does the expectation of privacy. When someone needs STI testing, discretion matters not as an afterthought but as a condition of care. The clinics and providers listed on this page understand that in a town where neighbors have history, confidentiality isn't negotiable; it's foundational to how they work. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties make up a steady presence in Shoreham, and many are at the life stage when a quick, straightforward screening fits naturally into health routines: before a new relationship, after a concern, or simply as part of staying informed.
Testing in and around Shoreham is designed to be uncomplicated: walk in, get tested, get results without fanfare or unnecessary delay. The working households that anchor Shoreham's character often juggle schedules carefully. That's why the testing sites and providers available here offer hours that don't force people to choose between their jobs and their health. Results are yours alone, and the process is built to respect both your time and your peace of mind.

Confidentiality & consent in VermontMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Vermont 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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Vermont, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
Vermont 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.
