Valley Oaks Health in Delphi screens for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee that applies to everyone, with walk-ins welcome and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.
Beyond the standard bacterial STI screen, Valley Oaks runs both hepatitis B antigen testing and hepatitis C antibody testing as part of the same appointment. A reactive hepatitis C result moves directly into on-site clinical management rather than a separate referral pathway, keeping the treatment relationship within the same facility.
Valley Oaks carries an active substance-use treatment program alongside its STI services, meaning a patient managing both conditions works with providers at the same Delphi site rather than splitting care between unconnected agencies. That shared record and shared clinical relationship directly affects medication adherence counseling, which the clinic also provides.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Carroll County, the county that includes Flora, 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.
#22 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 76% of the state
| Infection | Carroll County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 375.2 77 cases ▼ 24% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 63.3 13 cases ▼ 56% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.9 1 cases ▼ 48% | 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 Carroll County, chlamydia has risen from 349.7 to 375.2 per 100,000 (7%), gonorrhea has fallen from 142.8 to 63.3 per 100,000 (56%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 4.9 to 4.9 per 100,000.

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 Carroll County.
Local HIV snapshot
Carroll County HIV care continuum (2022)
Carroll County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Carroll County residents living with HIV, 81.8% are in care · 63.6% 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 Carroll County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Flora's economy runs on trades and steady work (carpentry, equipment maintenance, small manufacturing) the kind of labor that builds a life in one place. People here tend to stay, raise families across generations under the same roof, and know their neighbors well enough that privacy becomes something you think about before you act. That working rhythm, combined with the mix of young adults who've returned to or stayed in Flora alongside established families, makes routine STI screening a practical health measure rather than an afterthought. Testing clinics and providers in and around Flora listed on this page offer confidential screening without the social friction that can stall someone from getting tested in a tight-knit community.
What matters most is that results remain between you and your provider: no gossip loop, no automatic word getting back to your workplace or your household. A single visit can clear up uncertainty and let you move forward with confidence, whether you're partnered, dating, or simply taking care of yourself as part of your regular health checkups. Flora Community Park and the town's other gathering spaces are where neighbors run into each other constantly, which is precisely why having a discreet, professional testing option matters. You can get screened, get answers, and keep your health decisions your own.
Getting there
At 5.57/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Flora 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.
