Foundations Family Medicine in Austin tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C on a sliding-scale fee, and carries every service at no cost for those who qualify, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial STIs.
Foundations Family Medicine carries no charge for any service on its menu: not the rapid HIV test, not PrEP initiation, not hepatitis C treatment, not the HPV or hepatitis A or B vaccines. That zero applies across the board, not selectively, so nothing on the care plan gets quietly traded away for cost.
Without on-site PrEP and PEP prescribing, a patient leaves with a gap: a separate provider to find, an appointment to schedule, days or weeks of unprotected exposure. Foundations Family Medicine holds both prescriptions in-house, so HIV prevention, whether ongoing daily PrEP or post-exposure PEP, doesn't stall waiting for a second referral to come through.
Direct-acting antivirals, the drugs that actually clear hepatitis C, are prescribed and managed at Foundations Family Medicine, not handed off elsewhere after a positive result. Treatment oversight staying in the same practice means the prescribing clinician already holds the patient's full medical history when dosing decisions are made.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Scott County, the county that includes Scottsburg, 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.
#54 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 41% of the state
| Infection | Scott County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 235.2 58 cases ▼ 52% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 24.3 6 cases ▼ 83% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8.1 2 cases ▼ 7% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 20.3 5 cases ▲ 114% | 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 Scott County, chlamydia has fallen from 295.3 to 235.2 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has fallen from 94.3 to 24.3 per 100,000 (74%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 8.2 to 8.1 per 100,000 (1%).

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 Scott County.
Local HIV snapshot
Scott County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Scott County residents living with HIV, 72.7% are in care · 60.6% 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 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 Scott County tests for syphilis.

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.
