Valley Oaks Health in Rensselaer tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, and treats bacterial infections the same visit. Fees run on a sliding scale with Medicaid, Medicare, and insurance all accepted; walk-ins are welcome.
Plenty of STI clinics cap their testing at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV and leave hepatitis screening elsewhere. Valley Oaks Health tests for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C in the same visit, so a fuller picture of your bloodborne exposure history comes back without a second stop.
Sexual health clinics typically address infection and nothing else, leaving substance-use concerns to a separate system entirely. Valley Oaks Health carries active substance-abuse treatment alongside STI care, so the connection between the two, which is real and well-documented, can actually be addressed by the same team.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jasper County, the county that includes Remington, 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.
#61 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Jasper County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 199.8 67 cases ▼ 59% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 14.9 5 cases ▼ 90% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6 2 cases ▼ 37% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 11.9 4 cases ▼ 22% | 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 Jasper County, chlamydia has fallen from 258.2 to 199.8 per 100,000 (23%), gonorrhea has fallen from 45.6 to 14.9 per 100,000 (67%), and P&S syphilis has held roughly steady from 6 to 6 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 Jasper County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jasper County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jasper County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jasper County residents living with HIV, 81.8% are in care · 77.3% 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 Jasper County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
West Division Street cuts straight through Remington's center, and the younger adults who rent here, paying some of the most affordable monthly rents in the region, often share households rather than live solo, part of a community where average household size reflects how people pool resources at this stage of life. With more than a third of residents renting rather than owning, and high-earner households making up only a small slice of the population, routine healthcare spending competes against tight monthly budgets, and a $50–$100 co-pay for a screening visit can genuinely tip the decision. That budget reality lands unevenly on people in their late teens and twenties, the years when relationship networks are widest and STI exposure risk runs highest.
Over half of adult residents are married, but a meaningful portion of the population is still navigating that transition, and for them, low-cost or no-cost options matter more than scheduling convenience alone. The labor-force participation rate here means most working-age adults hold jobs, which makes daytime clinic hours a genuine obstacle rather than a minor inconvenience. That changes the calculus completely: knowing ahead of time which site is closest, what it charges, and whether evening hours exist is what separates a kept appointment from a forgotten one along US 24.
Getting there
At 5.41/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Remington 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.
