Hendricks County Health Department in Danville is a public health department with STI testing built into its core mission: rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, on a sliding scale with no-fee options for all.
When cost sits between a person and treatment, infections go unmanaged and partners go untested. At Hendricks County Health Department, every service (testing, treatment, vaccines) is provided at no fee, so the decision to come in never hinges on what's in a wallet.
Many clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate the most sensitive parts of a visit without real support. Hendricks County Health Department provides interpretation services for non-English languages, so every exchange (history, results, treatment instructions) moves in a language the patient understands.
Missing a hepatitis C diagnosis means a separate appointment, a separate lab, and weeks of uncertainty that delay care. Hendricks County Health Department tests for hepatitis C alongside the standard bacterial panel and rapid HIV, so a single visit can surface infections that would otherwise go undetected until complications arise.

Clarity tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the standard bacterial and HIV screen, which means conditions that often go undetected for years have a real chance of turning up, and being addressed, in a single visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Hendricks County, the county that includes Clayton, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#30 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 67% of the state
| Infection | Hendricks County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 313.9 585 cases ▼ 36% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 71.4 133 cases ▼ 50% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.9 11 cases ▼ 32% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 8.6 16 cases ▼ 9% | 9.5 | 16 |

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 Hendricks County, chlamydia has risen from 241.4 to 313.9 per 100,000 (30%), gonorrhea has fallen from 77.8 to 71.4 per 100,000 (8%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.3 to 5.9 per 100,000 (157%).

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 Hendricks County.
Local HIV snapshot
Hendricks County HIV care continuum (2023)
Hendricks County recorded 12.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Hendricks County residents living with HIV, 84.9% are in care · 72.8% 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 Hendricks County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
SR 39 threads through Clayton past Lambert Park and out toward the county's quieter edges, where modest home values and rents well below regional norms make this one of the more affordable small-town footprints in Hendricks County. That affordability draws and keeps residents: nearly two-thirds own their homes, and households here tend to be larger than the state average, reflecting the married-majority, family-oriented character of the community. When most adults in a household are working, and labor-force participation here runs high, scheduling anything mid-week during clinic hours becomes genuinely hard to arrange. That crunch falls disproportionately on younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who are also the group for whom regular STI screening matters most.
The options listed on this page cover a wide range, and with nearly four in ten households not owning (often younger, more mobile residents) knowing which sites offer sliding-scale fees or extended hours makes a real difference when a car trip is already part of the equation. With a strong share of dual-income households and limited local transit, the clinics nearest to Clayton reward a little advance planning. Booking online before the week fills up is the practical move here.
Getting there

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.
