Valley Oaks Health in Crawfordsville is a community health center where STI care sits alongside substance-use treatment and family planning: testing covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee, walk-ins welcome, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
For someone managing active recovery without a stable primary care relationship, Valley Oaks Health's standing integration of substance-use treatment and STI care means both needs get addressed in the same visit, by the same organization. No separate intake, no separate provider to coordinate.
Clinics that test only for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leave hepatitis undetected until symptoms appear or another provider orders labs. Valley Oaks Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C alongside the core four, and carries hepatitis A and B vaccines when prevention is the goal.

A community safety-net rural health clinic about 11 miles from New Ross. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Tests offered
Montgomery County Health Department in Crawfordsville tests for HIV, hepatitis C, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB, all at no charge, with HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines also on the menu. Every service runs by appointment on a sliding-scale that lands at zero.
For anyone managing care without an established provider (paying cash, unconnected to a regular clinic) Montgomery County Health Department covers testing, STI treatment, and vaccines without a bill at the end. Every service, from the first test to a hepatitis B vaccine series, carries the same price: nothing.
Without hepatitis C testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV, a positive result elsewhere often means a second appointment at a different facility. Another wait, another intake process. Montgomery County Health Department runs hepatitis C screening as part of the same visit, closing that gap before it opens.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Montgomery County, the county that includes New Ross, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#39 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 58% of the state
| Infection | Montgomery County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 272.2 105 cases ▼ 45% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 57 22 cases ▼ 60% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.2 2 cases ▼ 45% | 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 Montgomery County, chlamydia has fallen from 340 to 272.2 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has fallen from 113.3 to 57 per 100,000 (50%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 5.3 to 13.1 per 100,000 (147%).

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 Montgomery County.
Local HIV snapshot
Montgomery County HIV care continuum (2022)
Montgomery County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Montgomery County residents living with HIV, 81.8% are in care · 75.8% 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 Montgomery County tests for syphilis.

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.
