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 Putnam County, the county that includes Roachdale, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#28 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 70% of the state
| Infection | Putnam County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 327.4 123 cases ▼ 33% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 93.2 35 cases ▼ 35% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.3 2 cases ▼ 44% | 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 Putnam County, chlamydia has risen from 272.3 to 327.4 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has risen from 79 to 93.2 per 100,000 (18%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.7 to 8 per 100,000 (196%).

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 Putnam County.
Local HIV snapshot
Putnam County HIV care continuum (2021)
Putnam County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Putnam County residents living with HIV, 80.9% are in care · 76.6% 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 Putnam County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Pine Bluff Ridge anchors the quiet western edge of Roachdale, and the town itself runs much the same way: rooted, owner-occupied, built around households where nearly half of adults are married and families average more than two people under one roof. Health decisions here tend to happen the same way other decisions do: collectively, without much urgency until something specific prompts them. That household stability is real, but it coexists with an unemployment rate that leaves a meaningful share of working-age residents watching discretionary spending carefully. With roughly one in five households clearing six figures, there's a wide band in between where a $919 monthly rent or an unexpected medical bill recalibrates priorities fast.
For younger adults (people still in their late teens and twenties, early in relationships and careers) that financial variability makes low-cost, low-hassle screening options genuinely worth knowing about. Roachdale's near-total car dependency means every appointment is a deliberate drive; options listed on this page spread that geography across a range of hours and fee structures, so residents can match a visit to their actual schedule and transportation. Putnam County's STI figures carry the weight of what goes undetected between routine checkups. Staying current with screening, given those rates, is less about alarm than about knowing what's circulating in the county where you live.
Getting there
At 3.59/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Roachdale 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.
