Shawnee Christian Healthcare Center in Louisville delivers its full panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) at no charge to every patient, with sliding-scale fees backstopping any ancillary costs; appointments are required.
Shawnee Christian Healthcare Center staffs its clinic so that no service generates a patient invoice, not the STI panel, not same-visit bacterial treatment, not PrEP counseling. The mechanism is a cost-absorption model built into operations, not a waiver you request at the desk.
Shawnee Christian Healthcare Center provides care in Spanish and offers interpretation for other languages, which means clinical details (dosing instructions, treatment timelines, follow-up needs) land with the same precision for every patient rather than getting flattened by a relay.
Without a clinic that initiates and manages PrEP, someone committed to prevention ends up navigating separate prescribers and coverage gaps that stall the medication before it starts. Shawnee Christian Healthcare Center handles PrEP and PEP directly, including coverage for uninsured patients, so the prescription and the follow-up care stay in one place.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Floyd County, the county that includes New Albany, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~30% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#20 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 78% of the state
| Infection | Floyd County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 388.6 314 cases ▼ 21% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 160.9 130 cases ▲ 12% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 12.4 10 cases ▲ 43% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14.8 12 cases ▲ 56% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.4 6 cases ▼ 51% | 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 Floyd County, chlamydia has risen from 355.4 to 388.6 per 100,000 (9%), gonorrhea has risen from 155.3 to 160.9 per 100,000 (4%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 13.7 to 12.4 per 100,000 (9%).

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 Floyd County.
Local HIV snapshot
Floyd County HIV care continuum (2023)
Floyd County recorded 10.2 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Floyd County residents living with HIV, 83% are in care · 73.8% 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 Floyd County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Cedar Bough Place Historic District sits close enough to Downtown that residents can walk Vincennes Street on a decent evening, yet most of New Albany still runs on car trips. A Charlestown Road errand, a drive out past Shawnee Park, nothing particularly close together. For the roughly four-in-ten households here that rent at rates well below the national average, that affordability is real, but it also signals tighter margins: when rent consumes a meaningful share of take-home pay, an unplanned clinic visit is the kind of thing that gets weighed against a Thursday shift rather than simply scheduled. Nearly two-thirds of residents are in the labor force, and with average households running above three people, schedules tend to be layered. Someone's picking up kids, someone's covering an evening shift.
Younger adults here, people still in their twenties building out their lives and relationships, are statistically the group most likely to benefit from routine STI screening, and they're also the ones most likely to be juggling the constraints above. The clinics listed on this page represent a genuine spread of options, which matters when a single inconvenient location is enough reason to postpone. With more than half of New Albany homeowners putting down roots long-term, and a sizable share of renters moving through, the community's sexual-health picture keeps shifting. Regular, low-cost testing is how individuals stay oriented within it.
Getting there
At 9.51/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in New Albany 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.
