STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Monroe County, the county that includes Ellettsville, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#12 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 87% of the state
| Infection | Monroe County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 475.1 662 cases ▼ 3% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 118.4 165 cases ▼ 18% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 5.7 8 cases ▼ 34% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 9.3 13 cases ▼ 2% | 9.5 | 16 |

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 Monroe County, chlamydia has fallen from 551.1 to 475.1 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 201.1 to 118.4 per 100,000 (41%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.6 to 5.7 per 100,000 (58%).

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 Monroe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Monroe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Monroe County recorded 21 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Monroe County residents living with HIV, 76.6% are in care · 69.8% 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 Monroe County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
SR 46 runs straight through the heart of Ellettsville as West Main Street, and for most residents, the clinics listed on this page sit within a reasonable walk or short drive along that same corridor. That kind of physical proximity matters in a town where the majority of households own their homes and have put down roots, but where a meaningful slice of the population rents, and at monthly costs low enough that budget pressure still shapes which health appointments actually get scheduled. That renter share skews younger, and younger adults in their late teens and twenties are precisely the people for whom routine STI screening carries the most practical weight.
Monroe County's STI figures reflect patterns seen statewide, infections concentrated in the years when people are most actively forming new relationships, often without symptoms prompting a visit. The testing options on this page include a range of fee structures, so cost differences between providers are worth comparing directly. Memorial Park sits close enough to several of those options that a weekday errand run toward West Temperance Street can quietly double as a clinic visit.
Getting there
At 5.4/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Ellettsville 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.
