Boone County Health Department in Lebanon covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C testing, all at no charge, along with HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines on a sliding-scale fee. Appointments are required, and bacterial STIs can be treated the same visit.
Cash-pay patients and those without a regular provider often budget separately for the test versus any treatment that follows, here, that calculation doesn't apply. STI treatment, counseling, partner notification, and harm reduction services carry the same zero-dollar price tag as the tests themselves.
For anyone without a primary care relationship who wants a fuller picture of their hepatitis exposure status, Boone County tests hepatitis C with a rapid test in the same appointment that covers HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. No separate referral or lab visit needed.

Aspire Indiana Health in Lebanon tests for HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone, with appointments required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections. All services provided at no fee.
When cost sits between a person and follow-through (skipped treatment, a counseling session that never happens, a vaccine deferred) the gap compounds. Aspire Indiana Health charges nothing for any service it provides, so medication adherence counseling, STI treatment, and hepatitis vaccines all happen without a dollar figure attached.
Aspire Indiana Health in Lebanon runs hepatitis C testing alongside HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia as a standing part of its panel. A meaningful capability for anyone without a regular primary care provider who needs one visit to cover the full picture rather than coordinating across multiple appointments.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Boone County, the county that includes Ulen, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#49 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 47% of the state
| Infection | Boone County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 254.9 194 cases ▼ 48% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 63.1 48 cases ▼ 56% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.6 2 cases ▼ 70% | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 3.9 3 cases ▼ 59% | 9.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 3.9 3 cases ▼ 74% | 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 Boone County, chlamydia has fallen from 264.1 to 254.9 per 100,000 (3%), gonorrhea has risen from 55.1 to 63.1 per 100,000 (15%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 4.2 to 2.6 per 100,000 (38%).

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 Boone County.
Local HIV snapshot
Boone County HIV care continuum (2021)
Boone County recorded 8.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Boone County residents living with HIV, 83.9% are in care · 82.1% 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 Boone County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
SR 39 cuts through Ulen as both North and South Lebanon Street, connecting a community where the overwhelming majority of households own their homes outright: no landlords, no lease renewals, just long-term roots and the financial stability that comes with them. With nearly three-quarters of adults married and households averaging close to three people, this is a place built around settled family life, and the cost pressures here look less like rent stress and more like the quiet obligations of upkeep, property taxes, and two-income schedules that don't leave much room for midday appointments.
That workforce reality matters for younger adults still forming relationships, people in their late teens and twenties who represent Ulen's highest-incidence window for STIs and who are least likely to carve time out of a workweek for anything that feels complicated to arrange. Boone County's STI picture gives enough reason to treat testing as a practical calendar item rather than a response to symptoms, and options listed here cover enough ground that the right fit (by schedule, distance, or cost) is findable for most households along this corridor.
Getting there
At 6.91/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Ulen generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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.
