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 Coos County tests for syphilis.

Along Evans Boulevard and over toward North Bend, households here tend to run large, nearly four people on average, and with half of residents renting at rents that leave little cushion, an unexpected medical bill lands differently than it does somewhere with more financial slack. That economic reality matters when someone in their late teens or twenties is weighing whether to book a screening appointment or let it drift. High unemployment compounds the picture: when a significant share of working-age adults are between jobs or working irregular hours, the calculation around time, transport, and out-of-pocket cost becomes genuinely complicated.
Coos County's STI rate data, visible elsewhere on this page, reflects patterns common to places where younger adults form and dissolve relationships during years when routine screening is most valuable, and least likely to happen without low-cost, low-hassle options. A household stretched across three or four people sharing $892 in monthly rent doesn't have much margin for fees, which makes the cost tiers and sliding-scale options listed in the clinic cards worth reading closely. Every option listed on this page requires getting onto that highway, so knowing which clinic is open on a weekday evening, and how far the drive actually runs, is what determines whether an appointment gets made at all.

Confidentiality & consent in Oregon
Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
Two things that actually depend on Oregon 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 Oregon, 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)
Oregon 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.
