Gonorrhea cases in Jasper County run about 92% lower than the US average. If you've had a recent risk or simply test on a regular schedule, you have options in De Motte, Indiana.

Available testing centers
9 testing options are listed for De Motte, IN. The nearest, NorthShore Health Centers, is about 0.1 miles away. Compare community and public clinics, private labs, and at-home kits below.
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

NorthShore Health Centers in De Motte tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with walk-ins welcome; same-visit treatment is available for bacterial infections, and vaccines including HPV and hepatitis A and B are on-site.
NorthShore prescribes and monitors PrEP: meaning the baseline HIV test, the follow-up labs, and the ongoing prescription renewals all run through the same clinic. PEP is also available here, with the clinical staff to assess and initiate it without routing you to a separate provider.
Without substance-use services inside the same clinic, a person leaving with an STI diagnosis faces a separate intake process, a separate wait, and a real chance of that second appointment never happening. NorthShore Health Centers carries substance-abuse treatment alongside STI care, so both needs are addressed in a single clinical relationship.
Leaving hepatitis C off a test order means a separate visit, a separate lab, and, if results come back positive, time lost before treatment begins. At NorthShore, hepatitis C testing is built into the panel alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, so nothing requires a second trip to find out where you stand.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jasper County, the county that includes De Motte, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#61 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Jasper County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 199.8 67 cases ▼ 59% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 14.9 5 cases ▼ 90% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6 2 cases ▼ 37% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 11.9 4 cases ▼ 22% | 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 Jasper County, chlamydia has fallen from 258.2 to 199.8 per 100,000 (23%), gonorrhea has fallen from 45.6 to 14.9 per 100,000 (67%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6 to 6 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Jasper County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jasper County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jasper County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jasper County residents living with HIV, 81.8% are in care · 77.3% 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 Jasper County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 231 cuts straight through De Motte as North Halleck Street, and the rhythm of life along that corridor reflects something essential about this town: nearly half of adults here are married, households run close to three people on average, and health decisions often get made as a family conversation rather than a solo one. That dynamic shapes everything, including when and whether someone schedules a screening. With a significant share of residents not currently in the workforce and unemployment running meaningfully above the state norm, flexibility and cost both matter. Rent around $842 a month leaves limited cushion for unexpected medical bills, which makes the fee structures of the options listed on this page worth checking carefully before you go.
Younger adults in De Motte, people roughly in their late teens and twenties, fall into the years when STI transmission is most common, and for that group, an inconvenient or costly option often simply doesn't happen. Jasper County's STI figures reflect the same pattern seen across rural Indiana: low visibility doesn't mean low risk. For anyone living here, staying current on screening is less about urgency and more about not letting the drive or the cost be the reason something gets skipped another season.
Getting there
At 6.37/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in De Motte 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.
