STD stats & rates

#105 of 115 Missouri counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 9% of the state

| Chlamydia | 101 10 cases ▼ 80% | 498.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 40.4 4 cases ▼ 80% | 201.9 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 20.2 2 cases ▲ 63% | 12.4 | 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 DeKalb County, chlamydia has fallen from 226.7 to 101 per 100,000 (55%), gonorrhea has fallen from 90.7 to 40.4 per 100,000 (55%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 9 to 10.1 per 100,000 (12%).

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 DeKalb County.

DeKalb County HIV care continuum (2023)
DeKalb County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 10.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among DeKalb County residents living with HIV, 73.3% are in care · 73.3% 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 DeKalb County tests for syphilis.

Two things that actually depend on Missouri 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 Missouri, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Missouri 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.
