Hepatitis B and C Are Tested Here
Plenty of STI clinics cap their testing at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and leave hepatitis screening elsewhere. Valley Oaks Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C in the same visit, so a fuller picture of your bloodborne exposure history comes back without a second stop.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Building
Sexual health clinics typically address infection and nothing else, leaving substance-use concerns to a separate system entirely. Valley Oaks Health carries active substance-abuse treatment alongside STI care, so the connection between the two, which is real and well-documented, can actually be addressed by the same team.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is about 7 miles away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Mount Ayr, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Newton County tests for syphilis.

Mount Ayr draws young adults who are building lives here, starting careers, forming relationships, settling into the rhythms of a smaller community. For people in their late teens through thirties, a confidential STI screening fits naturally into regular health care, yet finding a testing site can feel like an extra step in a town this size. The clinics and providers listed on this page offer testing in and around Mount Ayr, each with their own hours and approach to intake. What makes testing here different from larger cities is the weight of familiarity.
Word travels in a place where you might run into your high school classmate at the pharmacy or see your neighbor's car in a parking lot. Clinics in the area understand this reality and take confidentiality seriously: test results are yours alone, and the staff you speak with are bound by the same privacy rules that apply anywhere else. Knowing that your information stays sealed can be the difference between getting tested and putting it off. Whether you're new to Mount Ayr or have roots here, the path to testing is straightforward once you decide to take it.
Call ahead, ask what to expect, and show up without shame. Routine screening is health care, and it belongs in your life the same way a dental checkup does.

Confidentiality & consent in IndianaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Indiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
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.
