STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hillsborough, the county that includes Windsor, compare with New Hampshire and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.
#1 of 10 New Hampshire counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Hillsborough | New Hampshire | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 277.5 1,186 cases ▲ 41% | 196.6 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 71.8 307 cases ▲ 71% | 41.9 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.2 18 cases ▲ 8% | 3.9 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.7 16 cases ▲ 95% | 1.9 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 6.3 27 cases ▲ 57% | 4 | 29.5 |
Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Hillsborough, chlamydia has risen from 267.7 to 277.5 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has risen from 57.7 to 71.8 per 100,000 (24%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.7 to 4.2 per 100,000 (11%).
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Hillsborough.
Local HIV snapshot
Hillsborough HIV care continuum (2023)
Hillsborough recorded 4.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 2.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hillsborough residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 72.6% 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 Hillsborough tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Carter Hill sits at the quiet edge of Windsor's landscape, where most households own their homes and have for years. A stability that shapes how residents think about healthcare: something handled locally, on a familiar schedule, not urgently sought out. But that rootedness can make it easy to let routine screening drift when there's no obvious prompt to act. The unemployment picture here means a meaningful share of residents are navigating stretches without steady employer benefits or the structure a regular work schedule provides.
Add a household makeup that skews toward couples and multi-person families, not the transient churn of a college town, and the assumption can quietly settle in that testing is someone else's concern. It isn't, of course: young adults in their late teens and twenties carry disproportionate exposure risk precisely during the years when relationships are forming and annual check-ins feel optional. The Franklin Pierce Homestead sits just off that same stretch of road; if you're already heading that direction for errands or a weekend visit, tacking on a screening appointment turns the drive into something that actually gets crossed off.
Getting there
At 7.3/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Windsor 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
New Hampshire 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.
