Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis runs by appointment, so a scheduled visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, hepatitis B and C, and TB. Same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, with care available in Spanish.
Eskenazi Health delivers STI care in Spanish, which means test results, treatment instructions, and prevention counseling all move in the same language. Nothing gets compressed into a shorter explanation because translation is an afterthought.
Eskenazi Health holds Ryan White funding, which means HIV care doesn't stop at a positive test: medication adherence counseling and ongoing treatment are built into the same clinical relationship, without piecing together separate providers or separate bills.
Leaving Eskenazi Health without a PrEP or PEP prescription because the prescribing provider was elsewhere is a gap this clinic closes: both are available on-site, and uninsured patients have a dedicated PrEP assistance pathway so cost doesn't stall the start date.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Marion County, the county that includes Glendale, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Marion County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 1110.6 10,756 cases ▲ 126% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 407.7 3,948 cases ▲ 183% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 21 203 cases ▲ 141% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 23.6 229 cases ▲ 148% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 40.5 392 cases ▲ 166% | 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 Marion County, chlamydia has risen from 1029.4 to 1110.6 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 488.8 to 407.7 per 100,000 (17%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 27.3 to 21 per 100,000 (23%).

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 Marion County.
Local HIV snapshot
Federal priority area: Marion County is one of 48 U.S. counties prioritized under the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative: targeted federal funding to expand local HIV testing, PrEP, and prevention.
Marion County HIV care continuum (2023)
Marion County recorded 32.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Marion County residents living with HIV, 84.1% know their status · 82.3% are in care · 70% 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 Marion County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Glendale carries a settled, neighborhood-rooted feel. Modest home values, tree-lined blocks near Crispus Attucks High School, households large enough that people rarely live alone. But the majority of residents here rent, and at just over a thousand dollars a month that rent doesn't leave much slack, especially for the sizable share of working-age adults who aren't currently employed. Those two realities together (turnover in living situations, tighter budgets) mean that a test someone intends to schedule can stay unscheduled for months. That matters most for younger adults, late teens through early thirties, who are statistically where STI transmission concentrates.
Genuinely useful when a car isn't available or a gas tank is running low at the end of the month. About three in ten adults here are married, which means a large share of the population is navigating relationships in less structured ways. New partners, changing circumstances, the ordinary movement of life in a renting-majority city. The clinic options listed here vary in hours and cost precisely because no single schedule or price point works for everyone along North Holt Road or over toward Riverside.
Getting there
Glendale scores 13.17/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
