STD stats & rates

#87 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 5% of the state
| Infection | Franklin County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 108.2 25 cases ▼ 78% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 8.7 2 cases ▼ 94% | 144 | 179.5 |

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 Franklin County, chlamydia has risen from 96.6 to 108.2 per 100,000 (12%), gonorrhea has fallen from 57.1 to 8.7 per 100,000 (85%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.4 to 4.3 per 100,000 (2%).

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 Franklin County.
Local HIV snapshot
Franklin County HIV care continuum (2022)
Franklin County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Franklin County residents living with HIV, 100% are in care · 87.5% 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 Franklin County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
People heading to errands along Brookville Avenue or up toward Wewe Hill often pass without thinking much about sexual health until a relationship shifts, a condom fails, or routine screening simply feels overdue. Cedar Grove has testing available in and around town for anyone ready to know their status, whether that's straightforward curiosity or genuine concern. The clinics and providers listed on this page offer the confidentiality that matters, not as a special favor, but as standard practice. Your name and results don't travel through the local grapevine, and no one at the front desk will call your workplace or home uninvited. Young adults in Cedar Grove, from those just starting out to those building longer lives here, often find that getting tested is simpler than the anxiety beforehand suggests.
Walk-ins are typically welcome; appointments can be scheduled around work or school; and the cost rarely becomes the barrier it once was, with many visits covered by insurance or available on a sliding scale. Testing itself takes minutes. Results come back within days, sometimes sooner, and if treatment is needed, that conversation happens privately between you and the clinician. Cedar Grove's providers understand that sexual health is personal health, and they treat it that way.
Getting there
At 3.63/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Cedar Grove 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.
