CHAS Health, a community health center in Spokane, extends its primary-care infrastructure into STI services: covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and hepatitis C testing on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required. PrEP and PEP are available.
Plenty of testing sites hand off prevention prescribing to a separate provider entirely. CHAS Health writes PrEP and PEP in-house, so the decision to start either medication happens in the same clinical relationship where your testing already lives. No handoff required.
When a hepatitis C antibody comes back reactive, CHAS Health moves into confirmatory RNA testing and, for confirmed cases, prescribes direct-acting antivirals on-site. With monitoring handled by their own clinical staff through the full treatment course.
CHAS Health offers substance-use treatment alongside its STI services, which means a provider can address both in a single ongoing care relationship. Reducing the friction that comes with coordinating between entirely separate programs.

Life Services Clinics in Spokane charges nothing for STI testing (no fee, no donation required) and the panel covers HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis C, with treatment available for bacterial infections. An appointment is required.
Plenty of clinics post a sliding scale and call the math fair, but a scale still bottoms out somewhere above zero. At Life Services Clinics in Spokane, every service provided runs at no charge, full stop: testing, counseling, STI treatment, all of it.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis C off the initial panel means a second visit somewhere else, a second wait, and a gap where a diagnosis should have been. Life Services Clinics in Spokane closes that gap: herpes and hepatitis C testing sit alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV in a single appointment.

Spokane Regional Health District tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and TB. All at no fee, on a sliding scale that covers every service offered. Same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, and appointments are required.
Spokane Regional Health District charges nothing: not for the rapid HIV test, not for hepatitis C screening, not for TB testing or STI treatment. That zero applies uniformly: the full fee schedule reads the same for every patient who walks through the door.
Interpretation services are available for non-English languages, which means the clinical conversation (exposure history, treatment options, PrEP counseling) reaches patients in their own language rather than getting filtered through guesswork or gaps.
Without an on-site prescriber, a patient needing PrEP walks out with instructions to find one. Adding days or weeks before the first dose. Spokane Regional Health District holds that prescription capability in-house, so HIV prevention starts at this visit, not a later one.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Spokane County, the county that includes Airway Heights, compare with Washington and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~33% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#10 of 39 Washington counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 74% of the state
| Infection | Spokane County | Washington | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 377.9 2,084 cases ▲ 7% | 354.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 158.1 872 cases ▲ 22% | 129.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 36.1 199 cases ▲ 69% | 21.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 14 77 cases ▲ 12% | 12.5 | 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 Spokane County, chlamydia has fallen from 480 to 377.9 per 100,000 (21%), gonorrhea has fallen from 180.4 to 158.1 per 100,000 (12%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 15.2 to 36.1 per 100,000 (138%).

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 Spokane County.
Local HIV snapshot
Spokane County HIV care continuum (2023)
Spokane County recorded 7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Spokane County residents living with HIV, 88.5% are in care · 78.7% 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 Spokane County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
A quick stop at Sunset Park or a familiar route along West Sunset Highway frames the rhythms of Airway Heights: a town where plenty of residents are passing through, settling temporarily, or building lives on their own terms. That mobility and independence mean that confidential health decisions, including STI testing, often happen without fanfare or explanation to anyone else. The clinics and urgent-care facilities listed on this page serve that straightforward need: a private appointment, clear results, and nothing more. Young adults make up a visible part of Airway Heights, and for them (whether new to the area, between jobs, or focused on school) routine STI screening is part of staying informed about their own bodies. Testing in and around Airway Heights is available without requiring a referral, insurance card, or advance notice to a primary doctor, which matters when you're managing health on your own schedule.
Same-day or next-day appointments are common at many sites. Retirees and others outside the traditional workforce also live here, and sexual health doesn't pause at any age. The testing sites available locally recognize that straightforward fact and welcome patients across decades of life. Discreet intake, protected records, and results shared only with you remain the baseline at every facility listed.

Two things that actually depend on Washington 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 Washington, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Washington 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.
