Available testing centers
7 testing options are listed for Dayton, IN. The nearest, Franciscan Health, is about 3.3 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Franciscan Health in Lafayette accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees otherwise, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. Bacterial infections treated the same visit, by appointment.
Franciscan Health treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves into a managed treatment plan within the same system: no separate specialist search, no second intake, no gap between knowing and addressing it.
Without access to PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP at a single clinic, a patient often leaves one appointment with a referral to another, and a gap in coverage while that next appointment waits. Franciscan Health in Lafayette prescribes all three, keeping prevention continuous rather than fractured across providers.
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at Franciscan Health, meaning the full scope of care (TB treatment, hepatitis management, DoxyPEP counseling) remains clinically accessible regardless of the language a patient speaks.

Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky in Lafayette runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, accepts Medicaid and private insurance, and covers rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and herpes testing. With same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs. An appointment is required.
Spanish-speaking patients are served directly in Spanish by clinic staff, not routed through an external service. For other languages, on-site interpretation is coordinated so that history-taking, result delivery, and prescription counseling happen in the patient's own language throughout the appointment.
As a Title X-funded site, the clinic is legally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors: meaning testing, contraception, and STI treatment are documented and billed in ways that do not require parental disclosure. That confidentiality is a federal program requirement, not a policy the clinic can waive.
For someone without a primary care provider or an established HIV specialist, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky in Lafayette can prescribe and manage PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly. No separate referral needed to access any of the three. PrEP involves ongoing lab monitoring built into follow-up visits at the same location.

Bravely Womens Health in Lafayette runs by appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing alongside STI treatment and prevention education. Every service provided at no fee, on a donations-accepted basis.
Bravely Womens Health holds a donations-accepted model with no fee attached to any service on the menu: testing, treatment, and education alike. That structure extends across the full panel and all follow-up care, meaning the cost line never changes regardless of which services a visit requires.
Spanish-language services at Bravely Womens Health are built into the clinic's operations: conversations about sexual health, exposure history, and treatment options happen directly in Spanish with staff, not routed through an outside service. That staffing decision keeps clinical detail intact throughout the appointment.
Where a standard four-infection screen ends at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Bravely Womens Health adds herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C to the panel. All five hepatitis and herpes tests are run at the clinic itself, so a single appointment captures a materially wider picture of infection status.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tippecanoe County, the county that includes Dayton, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~31% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#8 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 91% of the state
| Infection | Tippecanoe County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 547.2 1,033 cases ▲ 11% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 131.4 248 cases ▼ 9% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.7 7 cases ▼ 57% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.9 13 cases ▼ 27% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.1 19 cases ▼ 34% | 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 Tippecanoe County, chlamydia has risen from 537.4 to 547.2 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 188.5 to 131.4 per 100,000 (30%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 14 to 3.7 per 100,000 (74%).

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 Tippecanoe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Tippecanoe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Tippecanoe County recorded 4.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Tippecanoe County residents living with HIV, 80.6% are in care · 75.3% 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 Tippecanoe County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Manufacturing and agriculture have anchored Dayton's economy for generations, drawing workers who settle, build homes, and stay. That stability (the same families in Meadowbrook, the same faces at work) creates a particular need for confidential STI testing. Young adults moving through their twenties and thirties, whether newly arrived or born and raised here, benefit from routine screening that remains entirely separate from the small-town visibility that defines daily life. Testing in and around Dayton is available at clinics listed on this page, each offering the discretion that matters when you're managing your health in a place where people recognize each other. No result travels home with you, no clinic visit becomes neighborhood knowledge, and no screening decision touches anyone but you.
The tests themselves take minutes; results arrive within days. Routine screening catches infections early, before symptoms develop, and protects partners you care about. For residents of Dayton, whether working the same job for a decade or passing through, confidential testing removes the barrier that small-town familiarity can sometimes create. Getting tested is as straightforward as calling ahead, arriving at your appointment, and moving forward with certainty about your health.
Getting there
At 3.09/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Dayton 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.
