Rated 2.4 out of 5 from 8 reviews

Valley Oaks Health in Otterbein tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, treating bacterial infections the same visit when results call for it. Fees run on a sliding scale, with Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance all accepted, and no appointment is required.

Substance-Use Treatment Runs Alongside STI Care

Leaving STI care without addressing a co-occurring substance-use issue means a second provider, a second intake, and a gap where both conditions go unmanaged. Valley Oaks Health closes that gap directly, substance-use treatment is part of the same care relationship, so nothing falls between the cracks of two separate appointments.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Walk-in STI testing at many clinics stops at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Hepatitis simply isn't on the menu. Valley Oaks Health runs hepatitis B and hepatitis C tests alongside that core panel, so a single visit to Otterbein covers infections that would otherwise go undetected until symptoms appear.

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.

Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Benton County tests for syphilis.

About Boswell, IN

Heading into Boswell for groceries or to meet friends means passing through neighborhoods where young adults make up a visible part of the community. For many in that age range, routine STI screening fits naturally into regular health care. A straightforward step that doesn't require advance planning or lengthy explanation. Clinics and providers in and around Boswell, listed on this page, offer testing that respects both privacy and the pace of everyday life.

What sets testing here apart is the directness people expect: you schedule, you go, and results stay confidential without any special request or elaborate paperwork. The providers available locally understand that confidentiality isn't something to negotiate or hope for, it's standard. Whether you're stopping by on the way home or fitting an appointment around work and school, the process is designed to be straightforward. Young adults often juggle multiple reasons to seek testing: new relationships, routine wellness, or peace of mind after exposure.

Boswell's testing sites recognize these are normal reasons to get screened, not edge cases. The goal is to make that decision, to get tested, the simplest part of the whole visit.

Confidentiality & consent in Indiana

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Indiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

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.
