Preventative Care

Preventative Care Services at Health Plus Indiana

Prevention is one of the most powerful tools in health care—and at Health Plus Indiana, it’s a key part of the comprehensive care we provide. Our preventive services are designed to help you take control of your health, catch concerns early, and avoid more serious issues down the road. Whether you’re coming in for primary care or just need a quick screening, we’re here to support your whole health.

Testing remains the foundation of prevention. Knowing your status empowers you to make informed decisions, protect your health, and care for those around you. Health Plus Indiana offers free, confidential testing for HIV, Hepatitis C, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and pregnancy at all of our locations. No appointment is needed—walk-ins are always welcome—and your privacy is always respected. Our rapid HIV test provides results in under one minute.

Beyond testing, our preventive care services are integrated into our primary care model, ensuring you have access to routine screenings, vaccinations, and ongoing support all in one place. Whether you’re managing your health, staying on top of routine care, or seeking peace of mind, Health Plus Indiana is here to make prevention simple, accessible, and centered around you.

Preventive care at Health Plus Indiana goes beyond testing and medication. It is fully integrated into our primary care services, offering routine screenings, vaccinations, and health education as part of your overall care.
