STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clinton County, the county that includes Frankfort, 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.
#36 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 61% of the state
| Infection | Clinton County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 302.5 99 cases ▼ 38% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 45.8 15 cases ▼ 68% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |

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 Clinton County, chlamydia has fallen from 385.7 to 302.5 per 100,000 (22%), gonorrhea has fallen from 132.6 to 45.8 per 100,000 (65%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6 to 12.2 per 100,000 (103%).

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 Clinton County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clinton County HIV care continuum (2022)
Clinton County recorded 18.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clinton County residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 78.6% 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 Clinton County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
SR 28 cuts straight through town as Walnut Avenue, and from most points along it a clinic visit lands somewhere between a short errand and a genuine commitment. That distance calculus matters most for younger adults still building their lives here, the college-age and mid-twenties crowd who face the sharpest exposure risk and are also most likely to weigh whether a trip is worth the time off work. Frankfort's household picture shapes that calculus in specific ways. With nearly half of residents renting, typically around seven hundred dollars a month against home values that reflect a genuinely modest local economy, cost sensitivity is real.
A testing option that charges on a sliding scale or nothing at all isn't a nice-to-have; for a household already stretching a tight budget, it's the reason an appointment happens before symptoms do. At the same time, a labor-force participation rate that leaves a meaningful share of working-age adults outside formal employment means schedules aren't always nine-to-five, and clinics with evening or weekend slots reach people conventional office hours simply skip. With the options listed on this page, the range across Downtown Historic District and the broader Clinton County area includes choices that absorb most of those practical barriers: sliding fees, flexible hours, and locations along the SR 28 corridor that at least reduce the drive to a manageable straight shot.
Getting there
At 6.56/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Frankfort generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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.
