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.

Pregnant or planning to be?Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when
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 Kosciusko County tests for syphilis.

Along East Center Street and into the Warsaw neighborhoods that frame Winona Lake's eastern edge, a lot of residents are navigating the early years of adulthood: new relationships, first leases at roughly $900 a month, and schedules built around jobs rather than convenience. With nearly four in ten households renting and a labor-force participation rate that keeps most working adults genuinely busy most days, routine health appointments tend to get absorbed into whatever gaps a week actually allows. That reality matters especially for younger adults in their late teens and twenties, who make up an outsized share of Winona Lake's population and for whom regular STI screening is simply part of staying healthy while relationships shift and change.
A household size averaging close to three people also means that shared housing is common, another reason that knowing one's status quietly protects the people around you, not just yourself. The options listed on this page span a range of fee structures, which helps when a $900 rent already claims a fixed slice of the monthly budget. That distance is real, but knowing it in advance, and choosing a clinic listed here that matches your work hours, is what converts a vague intention into a kept appointment before the next month's lease comes due.

Confidentiality & consent in IndianaMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Indiana, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)
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.
