Indy Family Planning Center in New Castle folds STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid or conventional HIV) into ongoing family planning care, with a sliding scale that applies to everyone and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Walk-ins are welcome, and interpretation services are available for non-English speakers.
Without interpretation woven into a clinic's workflow, a non-English speaker often leaves with incomplete instructions, misunderstood test results, or untreated infections. At Indy Family Planning Center, interpretation services are part of the care itself, not an afterthought, so diagnosis, treatment decisions, and follow-up land clearly the first time.
PrEP at Indy Family Planning Center means a prescription paired with the HIV testing and renal-function monitoring required to keep it safe and effective, not just an initial script handed off without structure. PEP is also available, and coverage gaps for the uninsured are addressed through dedicated PrEP assistance so cost doesn't interrupt the regimen.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Henry County, the county that includes Straughn, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~27% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#31 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 66% of the state
| Infection | Henry County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 312.7 153 cases ▼ 36% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 22.5 11 cases ▼ 84% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.1 2 cases ▼ 53% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.1 2 cases ▼ 57% | 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 Henry County, chlamydia has risen from 222.8 to 312.7 per 100,000 (40%), gonorrhea has fallen from 73.6 to 22.5 per 100,000 (69%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2 to 4.1 per 100,000 (105%).

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 Henry County.
Local HIV snapshot
Henry County HIV care continuum (2020)
Henry County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Henry County residents living with HIV, 87.5% are in care · 70.3% 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 Henry County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
US 40 (Washington Street, National Road, East Main Street depending on which stretch you're on) threads through Straughn with the unhurried character of a town where nearly nineteen in twenty households own their homes outright. That kind of deep-rooted stability shapes daily life in ways the county STI data don't fully capture: most adults here are partnered, households run larger than the national average, and the workforce is largely employed and busy. When most people are working, managing a household of three or more, and driving everywhere because sidewalks and transit aren't really part of the picture, a routine health appointment is easy to reschedule into the future. That's worth naming plainly for younger adults still building relationships and navigating new partners, the years when STI exposure is statistically most common.
Low home values and modest rent keep costs manageable for many, but options listed on this page aren't all nearby; reaching the closer ones from Straughn still means time behind the wheel and flexibility in a schedule that may not have much. A household that's working, stable, and rooted doesn't automatically mean a household that's screened. Henry County's rate tables on this page make that case on their own.
Getting there
At 4.96/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Straughn 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.
