STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clay County, the county that includes Harmony, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#18 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 80% of the state
| Infection | Clay County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 400.6 106 cases ▼ 18% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 230.5 61 cases ▲ 60% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 7.6 2 cases ▼ 13% | 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 Clay County, chlamydia has risen from 377.8 to 400.6 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has risen from 83.1 to 230.5 per 100,000 (177%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 3.8 to 7.6 per 100,000 (100%).
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 Clay County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clay County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clay County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clay County residents living with HIV, 68.4% are in care · 63.2% 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 Clay County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Harmony Park sits at the kind of unhurried center that makes Harmony feel more rooted than rushed, but getting to an STI screening appointment still takes planning when the nearest options on this page require a deliberate trip along US 40 or SR 59 rather than a short walk from the front door. Most households here own their homes, which speaks to a settled, longer-tenured community, yet nearly a third of residents rent, often at monthly costs that leave little room for out-of-pocket medical expenses. With only about one in seven households clearing six figures, even a modest clinic fee can be the thing that tips a decision toward skipping a test rather than scheduling one.
That calculus matters most for young adults in their late teens and twenties, who represent a meaningful slice of Harmony's population and account for the years when STIs circulate most actively. A community where most adults are partnered and household sizes run above the national average can create a sense that regular screening is someone else's concern, when transmission often moves quietly through exactly these networks.
Getting there
At 7.97/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Harmony generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
