STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Monroe County, the county that includes Bloomington, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~56% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#12 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | Monroe County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 475.1 662 cases ▼ 3% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 118.4 165 cases ▼ 18% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.7 8 cases ▼ 34% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.3 13 cases ▼ 2% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.9 11 cases ▼ 48% | 15.2 | 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 Monroe County, chlamydia has fallen from 551.1 to 475.1 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 201.1 to 118.4 per 100,000 (41%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.6 to 5.7 per 100,000 (58%).
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 Monroe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Monroe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Monroe County recorded 21 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Monroe County residents living with HIV, 76.6% are in care · 69.8% 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 Monroe County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
East Atwater Avenue cuts through a Bloomington where most households rent rather than own, and where fewer than one in four adults is married. That household profile shapes how health decisions actually get made: people tend to manage their own calendars, carry their own costs, and weigh every appointment against a tight monthly rent. With a relatively modest share of households reaching six-figure incomes, out-of-pocket costs for any kind of care genuinely factor into whether something gets scheduled. That context matters because Bloomington's age distribution tilts sharply toward young adults still forming relationships and building routines, people in their late teens and twenties for whom STI screening is most clinically relevant but also easiest to defer.
A labor-force participation rate below the national norm, combined with meaningful unemployment, means many residents are working irregular hours or stitching together income in ways that make weekday clinic visits genuinely harder to fit in. Monroe County's STI figures reflect what researchers see in any college-anchored community with a large transient-resident population. For someone living near Seminary Square Park or in Eastern Heights, staying current on screening is less about alarm than about recognizing that the local numbers have context, and that context is the neighborhood you already live in.
Getting there
Bloomington scores 14.7/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
