STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Madison County, the county that includes Anderson, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#9 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 90% of the state
| Infection | Madison County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 520.7 690 cases ▲ 6% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 169.1 224 cases ▲ 17% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 23.4 31 cases ▲ 169% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 18.1 24 cases ▲ 91% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 21.1 28 cases ▲ 39% | 15.2 | 29.5 |

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 Madison County, chlamydia has fallen from 542.5 to 520.7 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 252.8 to 169.1 per 100,000 (33%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.5 to 23.4 per 100,000 (175%).
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 Madison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Madison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Madison County recorded 8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Madison County residents living with HIV, 82.7% are in care · 71.9% 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 Madison County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Anderson carries the feel of a settled, owning city: more than half of households hold the deed to their home, and property values here sit well below what most Indiana metros ask. But the quieter story is in the other half: renters paying modest monthly rents who are often juggling stretched budgets, and an employment picture where a meaningful share of working-age adults are between jobs entirely. When money is tight and schedules are unpredictable, a routine screening appointment is exactly what slips: not because people don't care, but because a Tuesday afternoon clinic run on SR 32 requires a car, a gap in childcare, and confidence that the cost won't sting. That matters especially for younger adults (late teens, twenties, early thirties) who represent a substantial slice of Anderson's population and who statistically face the steepest STI risk during these years.
An average household here is nearly three people, and many of those households aren't married-couple arrangements, meaning relationship patterns are genuinely varied and regular testing stays relevant across a lot of different lives. With the options listed on this page, the range covers walk-in availability, sliding-scale fees, and clinics reachable from Meadowbrook or Irondale without a long haul down Arrow Avenue. Making it worth scanning the full list rather than assuming the nearest option is the only one.
Getting there
At 9.14/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Anderson 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 Indiana 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 Indiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Indiana 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.
