Fees & payment
Southern Indiana Community Health Care is a community health center in Paoli where STI testing and treatment sit inside a broader primary-care structure: the same place also offers substance-use treatment, sliding-scale fees for all, and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections by appointment.
When substance use and STI risk are tangled together, splitting them across two separate practices means one of them often goes unaddressed. Southern Indiana Community Health Care carries both services, so a patient working through one doesn't have to restart the conversation, or the paperwork, somewhere else to address the other.
Walking away without a hepatitis C result when you came in for STI testing means scheduling a second visit, a second conversation, and another gap before treatment can begin. Southern Indiana Community Health Care runs hepatitis C testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV so that gap doesn't open.

A public safety-net rural health clinic in Paoli. Sliding-scale STD testing and care are typical here, call ahead to confirm the exact panel and pricing.
Tests offered
Indiana University Health in Paoli runs on appointments and covers rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside hepatitis C and syphilis, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections: all on a sliding-scale fee that applies to every patient, with HIV and hepatitis C tests free.
When cost becomes the reason someone delays a follow-up or skips a second visit, the gap in care compounds. At Indiana University Health in Paoli, every service (testing, treatment, counseling, PrEP) is provided at no fee, so cost never becomes the variable that determines whether care continues.
Many clinics leave non-English speakers to navigate diagnosis and treatment decisions with whatever they can piece together on their own. Indiana University Health in Paoli has interpretation services built into care, so counseling, medication education, and test results are communicated fully. Not approximated.
Indiana University Health in Paoli prescribes PrEP on-site, and covers it for uninsured patients, which means someone who tests negative can leave with an active prevention strategy rather than a recommendation to pursue one elsewhere.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Orange County, the county that includes Paoli, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#46 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 50% of the state
| Infection | Orange County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 259.7 51 cases ▼ 47% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 20.4 4 cases ▼ 86% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |

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 Orange County, chlamydia has fallen from 337.2 to 259.7 per 100,000 (23%), gonorrhea has fallen from 30.2 to 20.4 per 100,000 (32%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 5 to 5 per 100,000.
The 2020 dip reflects reduced pandemic-era screening, not lower transmission. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis).
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 Orange County.
Local HIV snapshot
Orange County HIV care continuum (2022)
Orange County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Orange County residents living with HIV, 86.7% are in care · 86.7% 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 Orange County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
West Main Street runs through the heart of Paoli, where generations of the same families have built lives, often under one roof. That closeness, the kind where extended family matters and household budgets stretch carefully, shapes how people here think about private health matters. STI testing in and around Paoli listed on this page reflects that reality: confidentiality isn't a bonus feature but a baseline expectation, especially for young adults navigating their own health decisions independently. Testing access in Paoli meets residents where they are, without requiring a trip far from home or a conversation that travels.
The clinics and providers available serve people who value straightforward, judgment-free screening and results they can count on staying private. Whether someone's moved back to help with family or never left, the testing listed here respects both the closeness of small-town life and the need for personal medical boundaries. Routine screening matters most when people are building their adult lives: starting relationships, changing partners, or simply staying informed. Paoli's young adults have the same health needs as their peers anywhere, and the testing options available locally make it possible to get answers without distance or delay getting in the way.

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.
