Reported syphilis in Clay County runs about 52% lower than the US average. If you've had a recent risk or simply test on a regular schedule, you'll find local clinics and at-home kits for STI testing in Brazil, Indiana. Visiting a clinic lets a provider answer questions and start treatment, while an at-home kit lets you collect a sample on your own schedule and mail it in — see your options below.
Available testing centers

Fees & payment
Valley Professionals Community Health Center in Terre Haute covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV, treating bacterial infections at the same visit and extending sliding-scale fees across Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance. Walk-ins welcome, no appointment required.
Standalone STI clinics aren't built to address what's often sitting right alongside the sexual-health concern, a substance-use issue that shapes risk and recovery both. Valley Professionals Community Health Center carries active substance-abuse treatment on the same roster, so both needs can be addressed without splitting care across separate systems.
For anyone without a regular provider who wants a genuinely complete picture, Valley Professionals' panel extends to herpes and hepatitis C alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. With hepatitis C treatment managed on-site, not handed off elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clay County, the county that includes Brazil, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#18 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 80% of the state
| Infection | Clay County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 400.6 106 cases ▼ 18% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 230.5 61 cases ▲ 60% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.6 2 cases ▼ 13% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 3.8 1 cases ▼ 75% | 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 Clay County, chlamydia has risen from 377.8 to 400.6 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has risen from 83.1 to 230.5 per 100,000 (177%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.8 to 7.6 per 100,000 (100%).

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 Clay County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clay County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clay County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clay County residents living with HIV, 68.4% are in care · 63.2% 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 Clay County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 40 cuts through Brazil as East and West National Avenue, bisecting a town where households run close to three people on average and nearly half of all adults are married. That family-unit character shapes how health decisions get made: partners often schedule together, childcare logistics factor in, and an appointment that can't flex around a shift or a school pickup simply doesn't happen. With a labor-force participation rate that leaves a meaningful share of residents outside regular employment, and fewer than one in seven households reaching six-figure income, the $730 monthly rent that renters here typically carry is real pressure against any out-of-pocket cost.
Those realities land hardest on young adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates climb steeply and when income, insurance, and schedule flexibility are all thinnest. Clay County's STI figures reflect trends common to smaller Indiana counties, where chlamydia and gonorrhea often circulate more widely than residents expect. For someone living a few blocks from Forest Park or anywhere along National Avenue, staying current with screening is simply the more accurate read on what's actually moving through the community.
Getting there
At 6.62/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Brazil 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.
