Clarity in Franklin runs rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and a sliding-scale fee structure that extends to every service, no appointment required.
Clarity operates under a funding model that eliminates patient charges entirely: not for a subset of services, but for the full panel, treatment, counseling, and education. The billing workflow is structured so that no invoice reaches the patient at checkout, regardless of insurance status or income.
Clarity's panel adds herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside the bacterial and HIV workup, which means a single visit can surface infections that often go undetected until symptoms appear or bloodwork flags them incidentally somewhere else.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Johnson County, the county that includes Franklin, 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.
#34 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 63% of the state
| Infection | Johnson County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 307.5 516 cases ▼ 37% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 60.2 101 cases ▼ 58% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.8 8 cases ▼ 45% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.4 9 cases ▼ 43% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.7 18 cases ▼ 30% | 15.2 | 29.5 |

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 Johnson County, chlamydia has fallen from 321.5 to 307.5 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 102.6 to 60.2 per 100,000 (41%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.1 to 4.8 per 100,000 (55%).

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 Johnson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Johnson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Johnson County recorded 5.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Johnson County residents living with HIV, 87.6% are in care · 81.5% 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 Johnson County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Getting tested in Franklin means weighing the pull of staying local against what lies beyond town limits. The clinic and urgent-care options within Franklin itself are limited, so many residents end up traveling to nearby Johnson County facilities or further afield to reach a full-service sexual health clinic. That distance is real, and it's worth factoring into your decision about when and where to go. Especially if you need results fast or prefer to keep visits discreet.
Young adults in Franklin, whether they've just moved back home or are building lives here, often find themselves in that gap between wanting confidentiality and needing actual access. A quick phone call to any testing site listed on this page will tell you what's closest and whether they have same-day or next-week slots. Many people in this community have deep ties to Franklin itself, so choosing a provider outside town, or one with a clear privacy policy, isn't unusual. Routine screening is straightforward once you decide where to go.
The clinics and health centers serving Franklin handle STI testing as part of standard care, with results typically available within days. Starting with a call, rather than walking in cold, saves time and lets you ask about what to expect before you arrive.
Getting there
At 7.06/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Franklin 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.
