Sliding-scale
Address
557 Northeast Westbrook Way, Suite B, Grants Pass, OR 97526
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.

Free Across Every Line of Service
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 Spoken Directly by Clinical Staff
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-Use Treatment Staffed Alongside STI Care
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.

715 Northwest Dimmick Street, Grants Pass, OR 97526
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.

Spanish-Language Care Handled Within This Clinic
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.
Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Alongside the Core Panel
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.

Asante in Grants Pass pairs testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and HIV with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, on a sliding-scale fee that adjusts to income. Appointments are required.

PrEP and PEP Available Without a Separate Provider
Asante carries both PrEP and PEP prescriptions in-house: meaning someone without a primary care physician, or one paying cash and managing costs closely, gets the medication from the same clinic that runs the test, without needing to establish care anywhere else first.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Start to Finish Here
Direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C are prescribed and managed at Asante, not handed off after a reactive result. That means the sustained virologic response monitoring that confirms a cure happens within the same clinic, keeping the treatment arc intact rather than split across providers.
Beyond the core four, Asante's panel runs serologic herpes testing alongside hepatitis A, B, and C antibody screens, and because hepatitis B and C treatment is available on-site, a reactive result on either moves directly into a care plan rather than stalling at diagnosis.

Spanish Speakers Get Care Without Workarounds
La Clinica serves patients in Spanish, and through interpretation for other languages, meaning someone who reasons through medical decisions in Spanish gets counseling, treatment decisions, and PrEP conversations in that same language, not relayed through a second step.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed Here, Continuously
La Clinica prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient can establish ongoing HIV prevention, including refills and monitoring, without coordinating across separate providers.
Hepatitis C Diagnosed and Treated at La Clinica
Clinics that test for hepatitis C often stop there, leaving patients to find a specialist elsewhere for actual treatment. La Clinica manages hepatitis C on-site, so a reactive antibody test leads directly to treatment rather than an open-ended search for next steps.
Administration, in Medford, earned its federally qualified health center designation by tying fees directly to what patients actually earn. Meaning STI screening stays within reach at any income level. Walk-in STI care covers syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia without an appointment required.
Center for Learning and Innovation--la Clinica, serving Medford under federally qualified health center standing, ties STI screening costs directly to household income through a sliding-scale structure open to anyone who walks in.

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.

Josephine County HIV care continuum (2022)
Josephine County recorded 7.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2022), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Josephine County residents living with HIV, 86.4% are in care · 80.2% 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.
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 Josephine County tests for syphilis.

Hellgate and the riverfront stretches nearby draw a mix of young renters and established households, and that split in Grants Pass runs almost exactly down the middle, with roughly half the city renting at a monthly cost that, while modest by Oregon coastal standards, still lands hard when unemployment runs notably above typical urban rates and only a slim share of households clear six figures. That economic tightening shapes everything from grocery runs to medical appointments, and for young adults in their late teens and twenties, a population with Josephine County's STI rates climbing in the age range that sees the most new diagnoses nationally, the question of whether a clinic visit actually happens often comes down to whether it costs too much or conflicts with hourly work.
With labor-force participation sitting well below majority, many residents are cycling between part-time jobs, caregiving, or job searching, schedules that rarely align with a single midweek appointment slot. The average household here is closer to three people than two, and nearly half of adults are married, meaning sexual health decisions often involve partners and shared finances, both reasons why accessible, low-cost screening matters more, not less.

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.
