STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Switzerland County, the county that includes Vevay, compare with Indiana and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~26% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#69 of 92 Indiana counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 25% of the state
| Infection | Switzerland County | Indiana | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 189.6 19 cases ▼ 61% | 491 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 10 1 cases ▼ 93% | 144 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 8.7 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | — no data | 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 Switzerland County, chlamydia has fallen from 205.4 to 189.6 per 100,000 (8%), and gonorrhea has fallen from 10.3 to 10 per 100,000 (3%).

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 Switzerland County.
Local HIV snapshot
Switzerland County HIV care continuum (2023)
Switzerland County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 11.7 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Switzerland County residents living with HIV, 50% are in care · 50% 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 Switzerland County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
SR 56 bends through the heart of Vevay as West Main Street, passing storefronts and modest lots where home values sit well below the state average. A cost-of-living reality that leaves most households running lean. Rent around here is genuinely affordable by most measures, yet when nearly four in ten working-age residents aren't in the labor force and unemployment runs meaningful, even a modest clinic visit fee can become something people postpone. That math falls hardest on young adults in their late teens and twenties, who are forming relationships during the years when STI transmission is most common, and who often have the least cushion to absorb surprise costs or schedule disruptions.
Getting tested in and around Vevay also means getting in a car. It's a planned trip. For the roughly half of residents who rent, often managing tight monthly budgets, the combination of distance and potential out-of-pocket cost is a real calculation. options listed on this page include sliding-scale and no-cost services, which changes that calculation considerably for anyone mapping a route from Switzerland County.
Getting there
At 4.9/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Vevay 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.
