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.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Miami County tests for syphilis.

SR 13 cuts through the heart of Converse as North 800 West, and the town it threads through is one shaped by long roots and stable households: most residents own their homes, a clear majority of adults are married, and the average household runs close to three people. Health decisions here tend to be made with a partner or family in mind, which can be a real support system but can also mean personal screening gets folded into a shared calendar that never quite clears. That labor-force picture adds another layer. Just over half of adults participate in the workforce, and among those who do, unemployment is nearly nonexistent.
Meaning the people who are working are working steadily, often in schedules that leave little room for midweek appointments. The low typical rent keeps housing costs modest for the quarter of households who rent, but cost alone doesn't solve the distance. Miami County's STI figures carry weight for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties building relationships and making decisions about their health. For someone on East Marion Street or out along South 810 East, knowing where those numbers stand locally is the kind of thing that makes a routine test feel worth the drive.

Confidentiality & consent in IndianaMinor 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.
