Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Portland takes walk-ins for STI testing: no appointment needed to get the standard panel, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections like gonorrhea and chlamydia, or a PrEP consultation, all on a sliding-scale fee with interpretation services available.
Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Portland has interpretation services available for non-English languages, which means someone without strong English fluency can accurately describe symptoms, understand a diagnosis, and weigh treatment options: all within the same visit, without that exchange being reduced to gestures or approximations.
Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Portland both initiates PrEP, the daily oral regimen that suppresses HIV acquisition risk, and prescribes PEP for post-exposure situations, with clinical staff managing the assessment and prescription directly rather than routing it through a separate specialist or standalone HIV clinic.
Stopping at gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leaves herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C undetected until a second visit elsewhere. A gap that can mean weeks of uncertainty or an untreated infection progressing quietly. Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care in Portland tests for all of them in one stop.

Virginia Garcia/LifeWorks NW Beaverton serves Beaverton residents paying out of pocket, between insurance plans, or working within tight budgets.

Oregon Health and Science University in Portland brings academic medical infrastructure to STI care: testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C on a fee-based schedule with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted, same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, by appointment. PrEP and PEP are available on-site.
When prevention medication gets delayed (waiting on a separate prescriber, a separate appointment, a separate system) the gap itself carries risk. At Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, both PrEP and PEP are prescribed within the same clinical relationship that handles your testing, so neither medication depends on a chain of handoffs to reach you.
The testing panel at Oregon Health and Science University extends beyond the bacterial four: hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C antibody testing are ordered through the same visit, with reactive hepatitis C results supported by the university's infectious disease resources for direct-acting antiviral treatment. Managed on-site rather than deferred.

ZoomCare in Beaverton runs gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and HIV testing on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted; appointments are required, and bacterial STIs are treated same visit, with interpretation services available for non-English speakers.
ZoomCare orders herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C testing alongside the bacterial infections and HIV: each managed through the same appointment, the same provider, and the same follow-up loop rather than split across separate visits or specialists.
ZoomCare carries standing prescribing capability for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP: useful for anyone managing ongoing prevention without a dedicated primary care provider, or paying out of pocket and needing the medication and the clinical oversight in one place.
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at ZoomCare in Beaverton, which means a patient's questions about test results, medication instructions, or prevention options reach the provider accurately, and the provider's answers come back the same way.

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette in Beaverton runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted. Walk-in appointments cover rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.
Spanish speakers get care in Spanish, not relayed through a secondary service. For every other language, interpretation is built into the visit. Whether someone is navigating a new diagnosis, weighing prevention options, or asking detailed questions about treatment, the conversation happens without a language gap in the middle of it.
Plenty of family planning clinics quietly exclude younger patients or require parental involvement for sensitive services. As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette extends legally confidential family planning care to minors. Meaning the services and records carry federal confidentiality protections that standard clinic visits do not.
PrEP requires an initial HIV test, a creatinine check, and ongoing labs every three months. All handled on-site. PEP is prescribed for the full 28-day course with follow-up monitoring built in. DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline regimen that cuts bacterial STI risk, is also prescribed directly, not coordinated through an outside provider.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Washington County, the county that includes Garden Home-Whitford, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~20% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#10 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 72% of the state
| Infection | Washington County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 348.2 2,085 cases ▼ 4% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 90.5 542 cases ▼ 23% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 9.7 58 cases ▼ 49% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 10.2 61 cases ▲ 6% | 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 Washington County, chlamydia has fallen from 356.1 to 348.2 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 92.8 to 90.5 per 100,000 (2%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 7.8 to 9.7 per 100,000 (24%).

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 Washington County.
Local HIV snapshot
Washington County HIV care continuum (2023)
Washington County recorded 6.1 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Washington County residents living with HIV, 85.7% are in care · 80.7% 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 Washington County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Along OR 217, where the Beaverton-Tigard Freeway cuts through the western edge of Garden Home-Whitford, the roughly three-in-ten households here who rent rather than own know that a single clinic visit can quickly become one more line item competing with groceries and utilities. That pressure is real even in a community where nearly half of households clear six figures: because unemployment here runs meaningfully higher than many of Oregon's western suburbs, and income that looks solid on paper can be stretched thinner than it appears. What that means practically: the testing options on this page matter beyond sheer count. Younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI exposure peaks, tend to move frequently, juggle irregular schedules, and weigh every errand against competing demands.
Removing the need to plan a special trip changes whether a test actually happens. The community's strong household-formation profile (most adults here are married, and average households run close to three people) also means STI conversations often extend to partners and family members, not just individuals. A clinic that's reachable between errands on Southwest Beaverton Hillsdale Highway serves that whole picture, not just the person who made the appointment.
Getting there
Garden Home-Whitford scores 13.95/20 on the EPA walkability index, so many trips are walkable or a short ride, though a car still gives you the widest choice of testing centers.

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.
