Tippecanoe County Health Department in Lafayette runs STI care through the full infrastructure of a public health agency: rapid and conventional HIV testing, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and TB, on a sliding scale with appointments required, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, and all services at no fee.
A cost that surfaces after testing (an unexpected invoice, a service billed separately) can quietly become the reason treatment stalls. At Tippecanoe County Health Department, every service, from the initial test to follow-up care, carries no fee, so nothing interrupts the path from diagnosis to treatment.
Many clinics manage a language gap with workarounds that stop at check-in. Tippecanoe County Health Department in Lafayette delivers care directly in Spanish, not as a supplement, but as a full-service option through the clinical encounter itself.
Doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (taken after potential bacterial STI exposure to reduce the risk of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) is prescribed directly at Tippecanoe County Health Department, making it one of the few public health sites in Lafayette where DoxyPEP access doesn't require a separate clinical relationship.

Riggs Community Health Center Annex in Lafayette meets people where federal qualification matters most: those paying cash, between providers, or stretching a tight budget. Sliding-scale fees make syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening financially within reach, and no appointment is needed to get started.
Tests offered
Fees & payment
Riggs Community Health Center in Lafayette requires an appointment and covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C testing on a sliding-scale fee accepted alongside Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; bacterial infections are treated the same visit, with PrEP and PEP available for ongoing prevention.
Plenty of testing-only clinics hand off prevention management to a separate provider entirely, leaving patients to navigate another appointment elsewhere. Riggs writes PrEP prescriptions and provides PEP directly, keeping both the screening and the prevention strategy in a single clinical relationship in Lafayette.
Riggs Community Health Center carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, meaning the direct-acting antiviral regimen is managed within the same practice that made the diagnosis. Patients do not absorb the delay of a specialist referral between a reactive antibody result and the start of curative therapy.
The testing panel at Riggs is built around six infections: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, HIV, and hepatitis C. Each requiring its own specimen type and clinical interpretation. Running herpes serology and hepatitis C antibody testing alongside the bacterial infections means a single appointment produces a meaningfully wider picture of sexual-health status.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Tippecanoe County, the county that includes Shadeland, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#8 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 91% of the state
| Infection | Tippecanoe County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 547.2 1,033 cases ▲ 11% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 131.4 248 cases ▼ 9% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.7 7 cases ▼ 57% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.9 13 cases ▼ 27% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.1 19 cases ▼ 34% | 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 Tippecanoe County, chlamydia has risen from 537.4 to 547.2 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 188.5 to 131.4 per 100,000 (30%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 14 to 3.7 per 100,000 (74%).

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 Tippecanoe County.
Local HIV snapshot
Tippecanoe County HIV care continuum (2023)
Tippecanoe County recorded 4.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Tippecanoe County residents living with HIV, 80.6% are in care · 75.3% 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 Tippecanoe County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Fort Ouiatenon Park anchors the quieter, western edge of Shadeland. A town where most households are owner-occupied and more than half of adults are married, which can make routine sexual-health screening feel like it belongs to someone else's life. But a substantial share of residents are young adults still in the relationship-forming years, and that group tends to delay testing not from indifference but from schedule and logistics. The workforce picture here helps explain why hours and distance matter.
With labor-force participation running moderately below typical national norms, a meaningful portion of residents are either working non-standard hours or managing caregiving alongside employment. The kind of week that makes a midday appointment on SR 25 harder to keep than it looks on a calendar. Cost is where the picture sharpens for specific households. Nearly a quarter of Shadeland residents rent, typically around the $819-a-month range, which leaves less room for out-of-pocket expenses, so the sliding-scale and no-cost options among the listings here are the ones worth filtering for first, especially for anyone without employer-sponsored coverage.
Getting there
At 9.52/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Shadeland 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.
