Aspire Indiana Health in Richmond runs on appointments and covers syphilis, hepatitis C, rapid and conventional HIV testing alongside STI treatment. Bacterial infections handled the same visit. Every service carries no fee, sliding scale applied across the board.
Every test, every treatment, every vaccine. All provided at no charge. That baseline means a patient can add hepatitis A and B vaccination or start PrEP at the same appointment without weighing what the visit will cost at checkout.
Aspire Indiana Health structures interpretation into the appointment rather than improvising around it: non-English speakers are matched with interpretation services that are operational during care, so counseling on medication adherence and HIV testing results moves at the same pace and depth as any other visit.
Many testing-only sites identify PrEP candidates and send them to find a prescriber on their own. Aspire Indiana Health writes and manages PrEP in-house, including coverage for uninsured patients at no fee, and carries PEP for post-exposure prevention as well.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Wayne County, the county that includes Richmond, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~28% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#14 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 85% of the state
| Infection | Wayne County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 444.6 294 cases ▼ 9% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 145.2 96 cases ▲ 1% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.1 12 cases ▲ 108% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6 4 cases ▼ 37% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 18.1 12 cases ▲ 19% | 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 Wayne County, chlamydia has risen from 420.7 to 444.6 per 100,000 (6%), gonorrhea has fallen from 205.9 to 145.2 per 100,000 (29%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 13.5 to 18.1 per 100,000 (34%).

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 Wayne County.
Local HIV snapshot
Wayne County HIV care continuum (2021)
Wayne County recorded 8.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Wayne County residents living with HIV, 74.1% are in care · 65.9% 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 Wayne County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 40 cuts straight through Richmond, and for the roughly four in ten households here that rent rather than own, a clinic visit means coordinating a car, a shift change, or a favor. None of which are guaranteed on any given workday. Richmond's household picture adds texture to that reality. Average households here run close to three people, and with a labor-force participation rate that leaves a meaningful share of adults outside traditional nine-to-five schedules, the when of a clinic visit matters as much as the where. For the younger adults and people in their late teens and twenties who make up a substantial share of the population, those years of forming new relationships are precisely when regular testing does the most good, and when competing pressures on time and money are sharpest.
With typical rents sitting well below regional norms, Richmond attracts residents who are stretching budgets carefully, making low- or no-cost screening options especially worth knowing about. The options listed on this page span a range of hours and fee structures. Whether someone is crossing Chester Boulevard on a lunch break or heading out along North 9th Street after an evening shift, the Madonna of the Trail isn't the only landmark worth orienting around in this town. A nearby clinic can be one too.
Getting there
At 7.59/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Richmond 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.
