STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Daviess County, the county that includes Elnora, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#44 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 52% of the state
| Infection | Daviess County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 264.4 89 cases ▼ 46% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 35.7 12 cases ▼ 75% | 144 | 179.5 |

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 Daviess County, chlamydia has fallen from 302.6 to 264.4 per 100,000 (13%), gonorrhea has fallen from 80.9 to 35.7 per 100,000 (56%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6 to 8.9 per 100,000 (48%).

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 Daviess County.
Local HIV snapshot
Daviess County HIV care continuum (2023)
Daviess County recorded 26.4 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Daviess County residents living with HIV, 79.2% are in care · 79.2% 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 Daviess County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Brewer Hill anchors a town where most households are owner-occupied and more than half of adults are married: the kind of stable, rooted community where health decisions often travel through a shared calendar and a shared conversation rather than an individual impulse. That family-centered character shapes how and when people get around to preventive care: with nearly three people to a household on average, coordinating a weekday appointment means juggling more than one person's schedule. Young adults in their late teens and twenties live in a town where most neighbors have already settled into long-term arrangements, which can make the social prompt to get screened feel less visible and, in turn, easier to set aside.
The options listed in and around Elnora include a wide range of fee structures, which matters when a household's budget is already spoken for. Daviess County's STI figures are what they are, and for someone living here (past the city park, between harvests and work shifts) staying current on screening is simply what those numbers mean in practice for this particular place.
Getting there
At 7.23/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Elnora 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.
