No ratings yet

Makah Tribe in Neah Bay provides its full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C) at no fee to patients, accepting Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance alongside its no-cost option. Appointments are required; bacterial infections are treated the same visit.

Read full overview Show less

No Fee Applies to Every Service Here

Every service at Makah Tribe (testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling) carries no charge, which means a patient can pursue the full panel, add hepatitis prevention education, or start STI treatment without weighing what to skip based on cost.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Address as STI Care

Makah Tribe holds substance-use treatment as a direct clinical offering alongside STI services, not a separate referral destination. That co-location means a provider managing a gonorrhea diagnosis can simultaneously engage a patient's substance-use treatment without coordinating across separate systems.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Extend the Standard Panel

Beyond the core bacterial panel, Makah Tribe runs herpes testing and screens for hepatitis A, B, and C. With hepatitis B vaccination available on-site. That means serologic confirmation of herpes and hepatitis status is handled clinically in Neah Bay, with hepatitis B immunity built directly into the same visit.

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.

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 Clallam County tests for syphilis.

About Forks, WA

US 101 threads through Forks as both North and South Forks Avenue, and the town it connects is one where nearly half of households rent. At monthly figures that stay well below state norms. That affordability cushion matters, but it doesn't mean money is loose: with unemployment running notably high and fewer than one in eight households clearing six figures, most people here are managing tight margins. When a health appointment carries a copay, a day of missed wages, or a long drive south on 101 to reach a clinic, it tends to get postponed.

That postponement risk lands hardest on younger adults, people in their late teens and twenties who are in the prime years for STI transmission and are simultaneously the least likely to have flexible schedules or reliable transportation. Knowing ahead of time which sites offer sliding-scale fees or evening slots is the practical edge that makes the difference. Most of Forks's working adults, and the labor-force participation rate here is substantial, are already building their weeks around demanding hours. Checking the clinic details listed here before the week starts keeps the appointment from disappearing into it.

Confidentiality & consent in Washington

Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Washington, 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)

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.
