STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Madison County, the county that includes Ingalls, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#9 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 90% of the state
| Infection | Madison County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 520.7 690 cases ▲ 6% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 169.1 224 cases ▲ 17% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 23.4 31 cases ▲ 169% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 18.1 24 cases ▲ 91% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 21.1 28 cases ▲ 39% | 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 Madison County, chlamydia has fallen from 542.5 to 520.7 per 100,000 (4%), gonorrhea has fallen from 252.8 to 169.1 per 100,000 (33%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 8.5 to 23.4 per 100,000 (175%).

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 Madison County.
Local HIV snapshot
Madison County HIV care continuum (2023)
Madison County recorded 8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Madison County residents living with HIV, 82.7% are in care · 71.9% 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 Madison County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Fortville-area households here skew toward owners and long-term residents, the kind of stability that can, paradoxically, make routine health maintenance feel less urgent when life is already full. With two-thirds of working-age adults in the labor force and a meaningful share of those households running on a single income well below the six-figure threshold, carving out a weekday appointment requires real scheduling maneuvering, not just a calendar check. That pressure lands hardest on people in their late teens and twenties, who in Ingalls are juggling early-career hours, household commitments in homes where average size runs large, and budgets that leave little slack for unexpected costs or distant drives.
Which is exactly why options listed on this page matter less as a count and more as a range: evening slots, sliding-scale fees, and locations spread across the area around Ingalls give residents near Summerlake Park a realistic shot at finding something that fits between a work shift and a school pickup. Without requiring a day off to make it happen.
Getting there
At 5.65/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Ingalls 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.
