STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Monroe County, the county that includes Stroudsburg, compare with Pennsylvania and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#9 of 67 Pennsylvania counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | Monroe County | Pennsylvania | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 374.6 622 cases ▼ 11% | 421.2 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 88.5 147 cases ▼ 39% | 144.7 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 14.5 24 cases ▲ 59% | 9.1 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 8.4 14 cases ▼ 18% | 10.3 | 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 Monroe County, chlamydia has risen from 360.6 to 374.6 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 83.2 to 88.5 per 100,000 (6%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.9 to 14.5 per 100,000 (146%).

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 Monroe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Monroe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Monroe County recorded 8.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Monroe County residents living with HIV, 80% are in care · 72.1% 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 Monroe County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Stroudsburg reads stable at first glance: nearly half its households own their homes, and the neighborhoods climbing from Gravel Place up toward Academy Hill Historic District carry the quiet weight of long-established community. But the majority of residents here rent, and at just over a thousand dollars a month that's a real line in the household budget, especially for the two-thirds of adults who are in the workforce and for larger households stretching across more than three people on average. That context shapes how screening actually works in a place like this. It means arranging a trip, often a car. For people in their late teens and twenties, who face the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, that kind of logistical lift is exactly what turns routine intentions into postponed appointments.
Monroe County's STI picture makes timeliness matter, not eventually, but now. The good news is that the listed options create real flexibility: different distances from the Monroe County Courthouse corridor, different fee structures, different hours that can fit around a shift or a class schedule. Fewer than a third of households here earn above six figures, so the spread of cost options matters. Finding one that works for your actual commute route means the test is far more likely to happen before the next thing on the list crowds it out.
Getting there
At 6.48/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Stroudsburg 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 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.
