Matthew 25 AIDS Services in Evansville is a dedicated HIV and STI care organization where testing (including rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis) runs on a sliding scale, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and appointments required. All services are provided at no fee.
Most testing sites hand off a positive HIV result to an outside provider, leaving a gap between diagnosis and managed care. Matthew 25 carries Ryan White funding, which means HIV medical treatment, medication adherence counseling, and ongoing management all happen within the same organization. The diagnostic moment and long-term care are continuous.
Spanish-language capacity at Matthew 25 extends across the full service menu (testing, HIV counseling, PrEP education, and treatment) so nothing requires an intermediary step. That operational integration means PrEP initiation discussions, hepatitis treatment follow-up, and medication adherence counseling all proceed in Spanish without a secondary handoff.
Matthew 25 absorbs costs through a combination of donations, Medicaid and Medicare billing, insurance reimbursement, and program funding. The sliding scale bottoms out at no charge. HIV testing, hepatitis C testing, PrEP for uninsured patients, and the full STI panel are all covered under that same structure without separate eligibility tracks.

Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky in Evansville tests for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; an appointment is required.
Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP from a single clinic, meaning the medication conversation and the prescription happen in the same appointment. That continuity keeps prevention from stalling between a recommendation and a provider who can act on it.
As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky in Evansville extends legally confidential services to minors. The situation where that protection matters most is a young person without a regular provider who needs STI testing or family planning care without a parent's insurance or knowledge required.
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available throughout care at this Evansville location, which matters most for someone navigating PrEP initiation, DoxyPEP instructions, or STI treatment decisions in a language other than English. Conversations where precision in communication directly affects whether a prevention plan gets followed.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Vanderburgh County, the county that includes Darmstadt, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~12% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#2 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Vanderburgh County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 644 1,158 cases ▲ 31% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 260.3 468 cases ▲ 81% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 31.7 57 cases ▲ 264% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 18.9 34 cases ▲ 99% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 33.4 60 cases ▲ 120% | 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 Vanderburgh County, chlamydia has fallen from 686.7 to 644 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 378 to 260.3 per 100,000 (31%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.8 to 31.7 per 100,000 (306%).

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 Vanderburgh County.
Local HIV snapshot
Vanderburgh County HIV care continuum (2023)
Vanderburgh County recorded 17.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Vanderburgh County residents living with HIV, 89.3% are in care · 84.1% 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 Vanderburgh County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Cambridge Park anchors a neighborhood where most households are long-settled owners, two-plus people under one roof, and nearly two-thirds of adults are married. A community profile that can make routine STI screening feel like somebody else's concern. It isn't.
Even with low unemployment, a meaningful share of Darmstadt residents aren't in the labor force at all, which means schedules vary widely: some people have flexibility, others are juggling caregiving or part-time hours that make a midday appointment harder than it looks on paper. That schedule reality matters most for younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties, who are at the stage of life when screening is most consequential and most easily skipped. High homeownership and a strong share of households earning well don't erase the cost calculation for those who rent or carry thinner margins, and for anyone near Cambridge Park or out along the edges of town, knowing which of the listed options accepts your coverage before you make the drive is the most practical first step.

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.
