STD Testing in North Dakota: What You Need to Know

How Common Are STDs in North Dakota?

North Dakota is the Peace Garden State — a vast expanse of northern Great Plains prairie, sunflower fields, and badlands where Theodore Roosevelt once ranched and where the Missouri River carves through some of the most sparsely populated landscape in the lower 48. With roughly 780,000 residents, North Dakota is the fourth-least-populous state, its economy shaped by agriculture, energy production from the Bakken oil formation, and the military presence of Minot and Grand Forks Air Force Bases.
That small population, however, masks a disproportionately severe STI picture. Gonorrhea cases increased by over 200% between 2015 and 2023, one of the steepest trajectories in the Upper Midwest, while chlamydia ranks 25th nationally at 467.4 per 100,000 — above the national average for a state of its size. The most striking burden falls on North Dakota's American Indian population: residents of Standing Rock, Turtle Mountain, Spirit Lake, and Fort Berthold reservations experience chlamydia and gonorrhea rates four to six times the statewide average — Rolette County (Turtle Mountain area) recorded chlamydia at 2,186 per 100,000, more than four times the national average. The Bakken oil boom of the 2010s fundamentally reshaped western county epidemiology as man camps housing thousands of transient workers drove documented STI spikes. Cass County (Fargo) and Burleigh County (Bismarck) account for the majority of diagnoses, with NDSU and UND enrolling a combined 28,000 students — making confidential, private testing a practical option across the state.

North Dakota STD Rates: By the Numbers

North Dakota's small population belies STI rates that exceed the national average in key categories. According to CDC surveillance data and the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services:
• North Dakota's chlamydia rate of 467.4 per 100,000 ranks 25th nationally — close to the national average, with Cass County (Fargo) recording 611.1 per 100,000 and Burleigh County (Bismarck) at 525.5 per 100,000
• Gonorrhea ranks 20th nationally, with cases increasing over 200% between 2015 and 2023 — one of the steepest sustained rises in the Upper Midwest — and Cass County posting a rate of 249.8 per 100,000
• Syphilis ranks 44th nationally, remaining very low, but congenital syphilis ranks 23rd — a disproportionately high position for a state of North Dakota's size
• Rolette County, encompassing the Turtle Mountain reservation area, recorded chlamydia at 2,186 per 100,000 and gonorrhea at 1,894 per 100,000 — rates that exceed most major U.S. metro areas and reflect the extreme STI burden facing reservation communities
• American Indian residents across Standing Rock, Turtle Mountain, Spirit Lake, and Fort Berthold experience STI rates four to six times the statewide average, driven by chronically underfunded IHS clinics and distances of two or more hours to the nearest comprehensive sexual health provider
• The Bakken oil boom's legacy continues to shape western county STI profiles — man camps in Williams, McKenzie, and Mountrail counties drove well-documented spikes in STI transmission during peak production years
• Many infections show no symptoms — making routine testing the only reliable way to know your status
