STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Harrison County, the county that includes Elizabeth, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~19% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#75 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 18% of the state
| Infection | Harrison County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 155 62 cases ▼ 68% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 25 10 cases ▼ 83% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.5 3 cases ▼ 14% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.5 1 cases ▼ 74% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.5 3 cases ▼ 51% | 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 Harrison County, chlamydia has fallen from 209.3 to 155 per 100,000 (26%), gonorrhea has fallen from 68.1 to 25 per 100,000 (63%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5 to 7.5 per 100,000 (50%).

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 Harrison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Harrison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Harrison County residents living with HIV, 84.6% are in care · 76.9% 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 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 Harrison County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
McHarry Hill sits quiet most mornings: driveways full, houses well-kept, the kind of neighborhood where most residents own their homes and have for years. That stability runs through Elizabeth broadly: a strong majority of households here are owner-occupied, many are married couples, and average households run larger than the national norm. Those roots shape daily rhythms in ways that matter for health decisions, including screening. With nearly three in five residents in the labor force and a meaningful share juggling jobs, family, and the long drives that come with living somewhere this rural, carving out time for a clinic visit takes real planning.
Getting screened means getting in a car and committing to the trip. For young adults in their late teens and twenties, who face the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs, that distance can quietly stretch a routine test into a weeks-long delay. Keeping that gap short is what the options listed on this page are designed to help with. About one in five households here clears six figures, but modest home values and rents around $775 a month suggest that cost still factors into decisions for plenty of residents, which makes knowing which listed options offer sliding-scale or low-cost visits worth checking before you drive out on Rosewood Rd SE.
Getting there
At 3.72/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Elizabeth generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
