Fees & payment
Womens Health Center of Southern Grants Pass's women's-health-focused clinic, pairs STI testing with family planning under one appointment structure. The standard panel runs on a fee scale accepting Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Without Spanish-language care on-site, a diagnosis lands in a gap: follow-up questions go unanswered, treatment instructions get misread, and a second visit becomes necessary just to clarify the first. Womens Health Center of Southern Oregon closes that gap: counseling, results, and care instructions are delivered in Spanish at this clinic in Grants Pass.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis B and C off a panel means a second appointment somewhere else, and a window of time where an active infection goes unmanaged. Womens Health Center of Southern Oregon includes hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and herpes testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, so a complete picture comes from one visit in Grants Pass.

Josephine County Public Health in Grants Pass tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee, and every test is free. STI treatment, TB care, and family planning are all appointment-based, with bacterial infections treated the same visit.
The zero-cost structure at Josephine County Public Health isn't limited to HIV or STI testing: it extends across TB testing and treatment, family planning, mpox and HPV vaccination, hepatitis B vaccination, and STI treatment. Each service category is staffed and billed under the same fee-free framework, so nothing is carved out.
Spanish functions as a direct service language at Josephine County Public Health, not a supplemental accommodation. Clinical conversations around test results, treatment decisions, and prevention options happen in Spanish without a relay step, which shapes how counseling and follow-up are actually structured.
Substance abuse treatment at Josephine County Public Health runs as a staffed program concurrent with STI services, not a referral pathway. Clinicians can coordinate across both tracks during the same visit, so a patient presenting for gonorrhea treatment and substance-use care isn't handed between separate systems.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jackson County, the county that includes Foots Creek, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~9% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#15 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 58% of the state
| Infection | Jackson County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 280.8 620 cases ▼ 23% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 75.2 166 cases ▼ 36% | 117.2 | 179.5 |

| Syphilis (early) | 2.3 5 cases ▼ 76% | 9.6 | 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 Jackson County, chlamydia has fallen from 327.4 to 280.8 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 140.6 to 75.2 per 100,000 (47%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 17 to 8.6 per 100,000 (49%).

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 Jackson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jackson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jackson County recorded 6.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jackson County residents living with HIV, 84.6% are in care · 75.5% 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 Jackson County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
People come to Foots Creek for work in forestry, mining, and small-scale agriculture. Trades that draw young adults looking for steadier income than they found elsewhere. That same population, concentrated in their late teens through their thirties, is the age group most likely to benefit from routine STI screening. Testing in and around Foots Creek is available through providers listed on this page, with confidentiality built into how results are handled and stored, which matters in a place where social networks can feel tight.
The Woodville Museum and John F. Fleming Veteran's Memorial Park anchor community life here, but privacy concerns around testing aren't solved by local landmarks. What matters is that screening doesn't require you to announce your health decisions to people you see at the grocery store or run into at work. Confidential results mean your test history stays yours alone.
Finding testing that fits your schedule and comfort level takes a phone call or online form, no different from booking any other appointment. Foots Creek residents have access to straightforward, judgment-free screening through the clinics and health services listed on this page, whether you're new to the area or have roots here.

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).
In Oregon, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
