Young people are most at risk, and public health professionals are now targeting high schools and colleges with awareness campaigns, often providing free STD testing and passing out condoms.

In 2017, there were 455 people living with HIV or AIDS in Stamford, but health officials worry that there are more out there who do not yet know they are infected. In 2015, Stamford had 389 chlamydia cases, at a rate of 307 per 100K people. The gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates were 43 and 2.
Stamford has a few clinics, including a public clinic that offers free STD testing for HIV only. Planned Parenthood is located on 6th St. They test for STIs and treat all of them except HIV, and the fee is on a sliding scale depending on your income.

It is now common for all students within the public schools to receive sexual health education. This is a positive step towards eradicating STDs in the area. They learn about safe sex, the benefits of abstinence, how to recognize an STD and where to go for testing.
There is a high number of residents in the low income brackets. People who live at or below the poverty level are at a high risk for missing out on public education about their sexual health. Many are not aware of the current rates of infection in their area, what symptoms to look for or where to go for testing and treatment. It is possible to have an STD without any symptoms in the early stages. Some may feel intimidated or too embarrassed to go in for testing because they don’t want their private physician or friends who may show up in the waiting room to find out.
The reality of the situation is that STD infection is a condition that can seriously impact sexual and overall health. Early detection and treatment is the second highest goal above prevention education. Although not all people have access to quality health care resources, there are free STD testing centers in the area which offer free or reduced rates based upon income levels. They strive to provide high quality services which include private and confidential testing services. There are laws currently in place to strictly guard health information so it cannot legally be shared with others. It is entirely possible to get tested and keep it a private matter.
