Indianapolis has several STD testing centers, including Planned Parenthood locations on Meridian Street, Washington Street, and Hanna Avenue.
Many private clinics are available as well, including down Arsenal Avenue and Otis Avenue. These locations are conveniently located next to public transportation stops. You also won’t have to worry about parking if you choose to drive yourself.
Appointments are appreciated, though most private clinics will accept walk-ins as long as the staff is not already handling a full schedule. It is usually best to call first, this way you can get in and out as quickly as possible. Calling ahead also gives you the opportunity to ask about free STD testing. Not everyone will qualify but it never hurts to ask when it comes to your sexual health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

Indianapolis and surrounding Marion County are experiencing rising reported STDs. What is even more alarming is that the area reported a staggering 55 new cases of HIV during a three month period in 2015.
If the sudden increase in new HIV diagnoses isn’t enough for state and city leaders to understand the need for people to have routine STD testing, health officials hope that the other alarming statistics while help stress the severity of the problem.
Statistics show that over the past twenty years the number of reported STDs in Indianapolis has declined and risen over time, which gives health officials hope that it is possible to improve the health of residents. From 2000 to 2005 the number of reported cases of HIV peaked at 228 in 2002, and decreased to 177 in 2005.
While the 55 positive diagnoses in a short 3 month period in 2015 indicates that the numbers of some STDs are on the rise again, health officials are confident that with regular testing the city will start to see these percentages start to decline again.
The center provides free sexually transmitted infection testing and the staff is state-certified.
Both walk-ins and appointments are fine. They just want everyone to be able to come in. There are certain age requirements. You must be ages 13-45. Proof of age is rarely required, they trust that you will abide by their regulations.

The center strives to continue this work and provide help to any and all that need it.

Indianapolis does have community outreach programs designed to inform students and residents about how dangerous unprotected sex can be, the school system still promotes the federally funded abstinence only classes.
Even though this program may be more comfortable for some parents and educators it is leaving teens and young adults vulnerable. Not only are the increasing number of teenage pregnancies an indication that the abstinence programs are not effective. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea is exceedingly high among women ages 16 to 24, and other sexually transmitted diseases are also growing.
Without proper education many teens and young adults also do not understand that you can get an STD without having sexually intercourse. Some of the viruses can be spread through casual contract, and others may not display any symptoms until others may have been infected.
Regular Herpes testing in Indianapolis is especially important for teens and adults. HIV testing in Indianapolis is always important regardless of age and gender.
Without proper sexual education classes in schools, students will continue to be at risk and STD rates will keep increasing at an alarming rate. While abstinence can protect teens from many sexually transmitted diseases it is not 100 percent effective, and until students and adults understand all of the risks and dangers the city will continue to struggle with a high STD rate.
Demographics and a city’s STD rates are intertwined, and Indianapolis is no exception. Some religious and cultural beliefs can make it tough for some younger residents to admit that they are sexually active, and might be at risk for contracting a STD. This reluctance to discuss any potential risks or problems make it difficult for some people to get tested regularly, especially when there’s the possibility of running into someone you know at the clinics.
Along with the shame and embarrassment some residents can feel, the costs of the tests can make it difficult for low income families to afford regular testing every few weeks.
Other demographical factors that are affecting the STD rates also include a shortage of clinics and community health centers, along with a growing number of residents who are addicted to certain painkillers.
Intravenous drug use has always been a major factor, and Indianapolis is currently experiencing a minor epidemic. Statistics show that this might be one of the contributing causes to Syphilis and HIV cases, especially among Caucasian middle age men.
In between races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway or visits to the state historical museum , you also want to get tested regularly for all of the sexually transmitted diseases. There are clinics in Indianapolis, but they’re not always convenient. Instead, call, schedule an appointment for confidential testing for all STDs. You’ll spend less than 30 minutes in the lab, and then you can watch the race.
