When cost sits between a person and treatment, bacterial infections go unaddressed and follow-up appointments never happen.

Franciscan Health in Lafayette accepts Medicaid and most insurance, with sliding-scale fees otherwise, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB. Bacterial infections treated the same visit, by appointment.
Franciscan Health treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves into a managed treatment plan within the same system: no separate specialist search, no second intake, no gap between knowing and addressing it.
Without access to PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP at a single clinic, a patient often leaves one appointment with a referral to another, and a gap in coverage while that next appointment waits. Franciscan Health in Lafayette prescribes all three, keeping prevention continuous rather than fractured across providers.
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at Franciscan Health, meaning the full scope of care (TB treatment, hepatitis management, DoxyPEP counseling) remains clinically accessible regardless of the language a patient speaks.

Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky in Lafayette runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, accepts Medicaid and private insurance, and covers rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and herpes testing. With same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs. An appointment is required.
Spanish-speaking patients are served directly in Spanish by clinic staff, not routed through an external service. For other languages, on-site interpretation is coordinated so that history-taking, result delivery, and prescription counseling happen in the patient's own language throughout the appointment.
As a Title X-funded site, the clinic is legally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors: meaning testing, contraception, and STI treatment are documented and billed in ways that do not require parental disclosure. That confidentiality is a federal program requirement, not a policy the clinic can waive.
For someone without a primary care provider or an established HIV specialist, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest Hawaii Alaska Indiana Kentucky in Lafayette can prescribe and manage PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly. No separate referral needed to access any of the three. PrEP involves ongoing lab monitoring built into follow-up visits at the same location.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clinton County, the county that includes Mulberry, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~23% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#36 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 61% of the state
| Infection | Clinton County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 302.5 99 cases ▼ 38% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 45.8 15 cases ▼ 68% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 9.5 | 16 |

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 Clinton County, chlamydia has fallen from 385.7 to 302.5 per 100,000 (22%), gonorrhea has fallen from 132.6 to 45.8 per 100,000 (65%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 6 to 12.2 per 100,000 (103%).

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 Clinton County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clinton County HIV care continuum (2022)
Clinton County recorded 18.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clinton County residents living with HIV, 78.6% are in care · 78.6% 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 Clinton County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Mulberry runs at its own pace: a small Indiana town where most households own their homes, families tend to be larger than average, and a meaningful share of working-age residents are currently between jobs or outside the labor force entirely. That economic texture shapes how people think about discretionary health visits: when budgets are stretched and schedules aren't anchored to a nine-to-five, a testing appointment can feel like one more errand that requires more coordination than it should. The household profile here (more than half of adults married, average households running well above two people) means reproductive and sexual health decisions ripple outward.
Young adults in their late teens and twenties, a real presence in Clinton County, are in the years when STI transmission peaks and when regular screening does the most good; they also tend to be the least likely to have a standing relationship with a primary-care provider who prompts them. What sharpens all of this is the driving reality. In a county with Clinton County's STI landscape, that drive is worth planning for: knowing exactly which listed site has hours that match your week, and what it charges, is what turns intent into a kept appointment.
Getting there

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.
