Sichc in Paoli meets patients wherever they land in the coverage gap (uninsured, cash-paying, or simply between providers) through federally qualified health center status that ties fees to income. Sliding-scale STI screening covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, with no appointment required.

Fees & payment
Indiana University Health in Paoli runs on appointments and covers rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside hepatitis C and syphilis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections: all on a sliding-scale fee that applies to every patient, with HIV and hepatitis C tests free.
When cost becomes the reason someone delays a follow-up or skips a second visit, the gap in care compounds. At Indiana University Health in Paoli, every service (testing, treatment, counseling, PrEP) is provided at no fee, so cost never becomes the variable that determines whether care continues.
Many clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate diagnosis and treatment decisions with whatever they can piece together on their own. Indiana University Health in Paoli has interpretation services built into care, so counseling, medication education, and test results are communicated fully. Not approximated.
Indiana University Health in Paoli prescribes PrEP on-site, and covers it for uninsured patients, which means someone who tests negative can leave with an active prevention strategy rather than a recommendation to pursue one elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Hardinsburg, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~21% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#67 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 27% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 195 55 cases ▼ 60% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 24.8 7 cases ▼ 83% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.5 1 cases ▼ 60% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 7.1 2 cases ▼ 25% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 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 Washington County, chlamydia has risen from 191.6 to 195 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 78.1 to 24.8 per 100,000 (68%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 3.5 to 3.5 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2021)
Washington County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 81.3% are in care · 78.1% 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 150 through Hardinsburg stretches long enough that a clinic visit from here can mean twenty or thirty minutes each way, a real cost for a town where more than half the working-age population isn't in the labor force and those who are may not have schedule flexibility to spare. That drive-time reality lands differently for the roughly one-in-four households renting at around $800 a month: when budgets are tight and time is traded carefully, a straightforward, affordable option listed on this page becomes less optional and more essential. That means every clinic visit on this list is a planned trip, not an errand absorbed into a walk home. For younger adults, people still forming relationships and moving through their most sexually active years, that planning overhead matters.
Catching something early matters more, and the options listed here make that possible without requiring a specialist referral or a blank afternoon. The town skews toward homeowners and established households: most adults are married, average households run close to three people, and families tend to be rooted here. STI screening fits that context too, it's a routine health step for couples, for adults between relationships, for anyone whose circumstances shift.
Getting there
At 3.7/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Hardinsburg 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.
