Dearborn County Health Department in Lawrenceburg runs testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C at no charge, with Medicaid and private insurance also accepted. Appointments are required, and bacterial STIs can be treated the same visit.
The department absorbs costs through public health funding and accepts Medicaid and insurance as payers, which means every patient walks out without a bill regardless of coverage status. No means-testing, no tiered fee schedule. The operational model is built so the register closes at zero.
Beyond the standard bacterial and HIV tests, Dearborn County's panel includes hepatitis C antibody testing drawn and processed through the department's own workflow. That means a single appointment captures five infection categories (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C) without splitting the visit across multiple sites.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Ohio County, the county that includes Rising Sun, 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.
#86 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 7% of the state
| Infection | Ohio County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 116.6 7 cases ▼ 76% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 50 3 cases ▼ 65% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |

Rates per 100,000 population, 2023. Source: CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county, state & U.S., all-ages basis). Population figures: U.S. Census Bureau ACS. These figures are the latest available surveillance estimates. Bars are scaled to the highest rate shown.
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 Ohio County, chlamydia has risen from 67.3 to 116.6 per 100,000 (73%), and gonorrhea has risen from 16.8 to 50 per 100,000 (198%).
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 Ohio County.
Local HIV snapshot
Ohio County HIV care continuum (2023)
Ohio County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. 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 Ohio County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Powell Hill anchors one edge of Rising Sun, and the town's character shows in the numbers behind it: most households here are owner-occupied, more than half of adults are married, and families tend to move through health decisions together rather than alone. That dynamic shapes everything from scheduling a doctor's visit to deciding whether a screening feels worth the trip. With labor-force participation well below the national norm and rent running low enough that many households are managing on modest combined incomes, a no-cost or low-cost option can be the difference between something that gets scheduled and something that quietly waits. options listed on this page span a range of fees and distances, and the closest ones worth noting are in and around Rising Sun rather than exclusively downtown.
Young adults in their late teens and twenties (the years when new relationships, life transitions, and lower healthcare engagement all converge) make up a real portion of this community. Ohio County's STI figures aren't abstract in a town this size; a neighbor's positive result is a community event in ways that larger places don't experience. Staying current on screening means that when those county numbers shift, residents here already know where they stand.
Getting there
At 3.97/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Rising Sun 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.
