Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 73 reviews
Family Health Clinic of Monon, serving Monon residents who are uninsured, paying cash, or caught between providers, earns its federal FQHC designation partly by anchoring fees to income. Sliding-scale STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) means cost adjusts to what patients actually earn.
Valley Oaks Health in Rensselaer tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, and treats bacterial infections the same visit. Fees run on a sliding scale with Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance all accepted; walk-ins are welcome.

Hepatitis B and C Are Tested Here
Plenty of STI clinics cap their testing at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and leave hepatitis screening elsewhere. Valley Oaks Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C in the same visit, so a fuller picture of your bloodborne exposure history comes back without a second stop.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Building
Sexual health clinics typically address infection and nothing else, leaving substance-use concerns to a separate system entirely. Valley Oaks Health carries active substance-abuse treatment alongside STI care, so the connection between the two, which is real and well-documented, can actually be addressed by the same team.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 8 miles away; if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Francesville, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome (opens in a new tab) program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?
Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Pulaski County tests for syphilis.

Francesville sits quietly along US 421, a place where most households own their homes and have for years. The kind of town where stability is the norm and neighbors tend to know each other. For younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties building relationships and navigating new independence, that driving reality matters. Routine screening rarely feels urgent enough to justify a dedicated trip, and when it competes with a full household schedule (nearly three people per home on average, with most adults paired up and managing shared lives), appointments can drift.
A labor force where a meaningful share of residents are working steady jobs means midday clinic slots often conflict with actual shifts, making evening or weekend availability worth checking before committing to a particular option from the list here. The cost picture is worth examining closely, too. Rent in Francesville tends to be modest, and most residents own outright, but those who do rent are typically stretching a limited budget, and the 12% of households with higher incomes are the exception. For an uninsured renter paying around the local typical rate, sliding-scale fees at the listed options aren't a minor convenience; they're often the difference between making an appointment and skipping it entirely.

Confidentiality & consent in Indiana
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Indiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
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.
