STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Delaware County, the county that includes Muncie, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~44% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#7 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 92% of the state
| Infection | Delaware County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 567.1 637 cases ▲ 15% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 154 173 cases ▲ 7% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 6.2 7 cases ▼ 29% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.3 6 cases ▼ 44% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 8 9 cases ▼ 47% | 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 Delaware County, chlamydia has fallen from 683.6 to 567.1 per 100,000 (17%), gonorrhea has fallen from 239.5 to 154 per 100,000 (36%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.4 to 6.2 per 100,000 (15%).

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 Delaware County.
Local HIV snapshot
Delaware County HIV care continuum (2023)
Delaware County recorded 6.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Delaware County residents living with HIV, 81.7% are in care · 71% 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 Delaware County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Near Minnetrista, where the White River bend pulls joggers and families on weekend mornings, the practical question of where to get tested for STIs tends to stay unasked until something prompts it. Muncie's population skews strikingly young, and people in their late teens and twenties form relationships, change partners, and build routines here at a pace that makes regular screening genuinely relevant, not just a precaution for edge cases. The options listed on this page serve that reality directly.
The city's economic texture shapes how people move through their days. Just over half of Muncie residents rent, with typical monthly costs that leave little room for unexpected medical bills, and only about one in ten households clears six figures in annual income. That cost pressure is real, and so is the question of whether sliding-scale or low-cost appointments are available. Most of the options listed here address fees directly, which matters when a visit that costs nothing still competes with childcare, gas, and groceries.
Hazelwood and the corridors along West McGalliard Road are woven into the daily commuting pattern for much of the city, which means some of the nearest listed clinics fall along routes people already travel. With unemployment and labor-force participation where they are, many residents work irregular or part-time hours, and the evening and Saturday appointment slots several listed options carry convert a recurring intention into something that can actually land on a calendar.
Getting there
At 8.33/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Muncie 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.
