Samaritan Health Services in Corvallis runs by appointment, and a single visit can cover HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB testing. With bacterial infections treated the same day. Every service carries no fee.
Samaritan Health Services charges nothing: not for the panel, not for treatment, not for PrEP or PEP, not for the mpox vaccine, not for hepatitis A or B vaccination. That zero applies across the board, so the scope of care someone receives is never shaped by what they can afford to pay.
Interpretation services for non-English languages are available at Samaritan Health Services in Corvallis, meaning a patient's ability to follow a treatment plan, understand a PrEP regimen, or navigate TB care isn't limited by what they can express in English.
Without on-site PrEP and PEP prescribing, a positive-risk assessment often ends with an appointment somewhere else. Sometimes weeks out. Samaritan Health Services writes both prescriptions directly, so HIV prevention isn't interrupted by a second stop on the way home.

Benton County Health Department in Corvallis runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid and Medicare accepted, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, rapid HIV, hepatitis C, and TB. Bacterial infections treated the same visit, appointments required, with services available in Spanish.
Spanish is a complete service language at Benton County Health Department: counseling, testing, and results all conducted directly in Spanish. That fluency in clinical conversation means nuance in risk history and follow-up planning doesn't compress into simplified phrasing.
Substance-use treatment is part of the department's direct service offering alongside STI care, so a single appointment can address both without coordinating separate providers or schedules.
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and rapid HIV, Benton County Health Department includes hepatitis C antibody testing, a fifth distinct infection on the panel, alongside TB screening, giving a broader read on blood-borne and systemic exposure in one visit.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Benton County, the county that includes Hoskins, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~16% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#9 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 75% of the state
| Infection | Benton County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 357.2 349 cases ▼ 1% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 67.5 66 cases ▼ 42% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 3.1 3 cases ▼ 84% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.1 5 cases ▼ 47% | 9.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 5.1 5 cases ▼ 74% | 19.7 | 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 Benton County, chlamydia has risen from 351.9 to 357.2 per 100,000 (2%), gonorrhea has fallen from 75.6 to 67.5 per 100,000 (11%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 6.3 to 3.1 per 100,000 (51%).

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 Benton County.
Local HIV snapshot
Benton County HIV care continuum (2020)
Benton County recorded 5.9 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2020), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Benton County residents living with HIV, 81.1% are in care · 78.4% 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 Benton County tests for syphilis.

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.
