How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Interpretation Services Extend Every Clinical Conversation
For anyone managing care without fluent English (whether coordinating PrEP refills, working through a TB treatment plan, or weighing DoxyPEP) ZoomCare in Portland has interpretation services built into the visit itself, so the clinical conversation carries the same weight regardless of the language it happens in.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here
ZoomCare prescribes daily oral PrEP with the baseline labs and follow-up monitoring the regimen requires, initiates PEP when indicated, and adds DoxyPEP, the doxycycline-based post-exposure antibiotic protocol, making all three prevention pathways available through a single Portland practice rather than spread across separate providers.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four
Clinics running a basic panel stop at gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis: ZoomCare in Portland adds herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing, so exposures that fall outside those four aren't left unexamined or sent elsewhere to be addressed.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Burlington, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab. Results come online in days, with a clinician available if anything is positive. Same labs as a clinic, no waiting room, and you can read how accurate at-home STD tests are before you order.
Want a free option first? The CDC-supported TakeMeHome program mails free at-home HIV self-test kits, and, in many areas, free STI kits, to your door, with no insurance or payment needed. The paid kits below add broader panels and faster turnaround.

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 Multnomah County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in OregonMinor 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.
