STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Clackamas County, the county that includes Johnson City, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~18% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#18 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 50% of the state
| Infection | Clackamas County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 248.1 1,050 cases ▼ 32% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 77.3 327 cases ▼ 34% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 18.2 77 cases ▼ 5% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 6.6 28 cases ▼ 31% | 9.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.4 44 cases ▼ 47% | 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 Clackamas County, chlamydia has fallen from 268.6 to 248.1 per 100,000 (8%), gonorrhea has fallen from 104.9 to 77.3 per 100,000 (26%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 10.2 to 18.2 per 100,000 (78%).

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 Clackamas County.
Local HIV snapshot
Clackamas County HIV care continuum (2023)
Clackamas County recorded 4.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Clackamas County residents living with HIV, 88.4% are in care · 81.4% 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 Clackamas County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Oatfield draws a mostly settled, homeowning crowd: the kind of community where households have put down deep roots and daily rhythms tend to orbit work, errands along OR 224, and home. With more than half the adult population in the labor force and a relatively modest share not working, weekday mornings aren't open-ended for most people here; schedules are structured, and carving out time for a clinic visit takes deliberate planning. That structure matters for younger adults in Johnson City, people still in the relationship-forming stretch of their twenties who tend to move through life at a faster pace than the broader, predominantly married, owner-occupier population around them.
Because Clackamas County STI rates reflect patterns that fall hardest on people in exactly those years, low-barrier access isn't a luxury. It's what turns awareness into action before a window closes. And with options listed on this page serving the area in and around Johnson City, the range spans enough variation in hours, cost, and distance that residents near Glen Echo or down toward Jennings Lodge can find something that fits around a shift, a school run, or whatever OR 213 throws at the commute home.
Getting there
Johnson City scores 13.97/20 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.
