Third Street Family Health Services tests for herpes and all three hepatitis strains (A, B, and C) alongside the core bacterial panel. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are also available on-site, rounding out a panel that addresses viral infections many testing-only clinics leave unexamined.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Crawford County, the county that includes Tiro, compare with Ohio and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~25% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#58 of 88 Ohio counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 34% of the state
| Infection | Crawford County | Ohio | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 209.5 87 cases ▼ 55% | 461.7 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 62.6 26 cases ▼ 63% | 168 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 4.8 2 cases ▼ 71% | 16.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.4 1 cases ▼ 74% | 9.2 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 2.4 1 cases ▼ 85% | 16 | 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 Crawford County, chlamydia has fallen from 304.6 to 209.5 per 100,000 (31%), gonorrhea has fallen from 76.1 to 62.6 per 100,000 (18%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 2.4 to 4.8 per 100,000 (100%).

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 Crawford County.
Local HIV snapshot
Crawford County HIV care continuum (2023)
Crawford County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 8.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Crawford County residents living with HIV, 84.6% are in care · 69.2% 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 Crawford County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
SR 598 stretches through Tiro with little between here and the nearest clinic listed on this page: a drive that, for a village where most people own their homes and aren't going anywhere soon, can feel easy to defer. That rootedness is real: a majority of households are owner-occupied, many are married couples, and with an average household running well over three people, schedules fill fast around family obligations rather than personal appointments. What makes that drive worth planning is the concentration of younger adults here, people in their late teens and twenties who are statistically in the years when STIs spread most readily and go most often undetected.
Crawford County's STI picture reinforces that urgency. With barely one in four adults currently in the workforce, and nearly half of working-age residents outside it, the cost of a visit matters too: at a typical rent of $725 a month against home values that signal modest household margins, even a modest clinic fee is a real line item worth checking before you go. The options listed on this page include low- and no-cost testing that can be scheduled around a workday or a family afternoon: practical enough that a household anchored to Tiro by ownership, a mortgage, and a full dinner table can realistically make it happen before the next Crawford County appointment window closes.
Getting there
At 4.53/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Tiro 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 Ohio 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 Ohio, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Ohio 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.
