Fees & payment
CHAS Health in Deer Park is a community health center where STI testing (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, and hepatitis C) runs on a sliding-scale fee open to all, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; appointments are required, and staff provide care in Russian.
Plenty of STI clinics draw the line at HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia and leave hepatitis testing to a separate referral pathway. CHAS Health adds hepatitis C to the same visit, meaning a blood-borne infection that often travels alongside sexual risk gets caught in the same appointment rather than falling through a gap.
CHAS Health prescribes PrEP directly, including coverage for uninsured patients, and also provides PEP. Meaning both the ongoing daily regimen and the post-exposure course are handled by the same clinical team rather than split across separate providers.
Most STI clinics route non-English speakers through remote interpretation services, placing a third voice between patient and provider. At CHAS Health in Deer Park, Russian is spoken by staff directly, so a patient working through a sensitive exposure history or a new PrEP prescription doesn't lose precision in the exchange.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Stevens County, the county that includes Clayton, compare with Washington and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~48% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#36 of 39 Washington counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 8% of the state
| Infection | Stevens County | Washington | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 110.6 54 cases ▼ 69% | 354.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 59.4 29 cases ▼ 54% | 129.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | — no data | 21.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.1 3 cases ▼ 51% | 12.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | — no data | 22.9 | 29.5 |

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 Stevens County, chlamydia has fallen from 189.5 to 110.6 per 100,000 (42%), gonorrhea has fallen from 60.3 to 59.4 per 100,000 (1%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 8.6 to 2.1 per 100,000 (76%).

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 Stevens County.
Local HIV snapshot
Stevens County HIV care continuum (2023)
Stevens County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Stevens County residents living with HIV, 87.5% are in care · 79.2% 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 Stevens County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Clayton draws young adults who come for work at the local mills, seasonal labor in the orchards, or simply because housing and community feel within reach in a way they don't elsewhere. That population, late teens through their thirties, is exactly when regular STI screening becomes part of staying healthy, yet the conversations around it don't always happen naturally. Testing services in and around Clayton listed on this page offer the confidentiality that matters when you're figuring out your own health decisions in a place where most people know most people. The landscape around Earl D. Mix Park and toward Loon Lake Mountain draws folks who value both outdoor space and genuine quiet.
That same desire for privacy shapes how people approach sexual health in Clayton: not from shame, but from the straightforward preference to keep certain matters separate from daily life and workplace talk. Clinics and providers familiar with this dynamic understand what confidential screening means here: results stay genuinely private, without the ambient concern that information might circle back. Testing in Clayton happens because the people who live here, whether they've stayed their whole lives or arrived last year, deserve the same access to straightforward health care as anywhere else. The fact that it's a smaller place makes that access matter more, not less.
Getting there

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.
