Spanish and Interpretation Staffed at the Visit

Moses Lake Community Health Center provides Spanish-language services and interpretation for other languages directly through the clinic, which means symptom history, treatment instructions, and follow-up plans land with full clarity rather than getting compressed into translation gaps.

Substance-Use Treatment Shares Space with STI Care

Substance-use treatment is offered alongside STI care at Moses Lake Community Health Center, so a single care relationship can address both without requiring separate providers, separate appointments at separate locations, or separate intake processes.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Here, Not Ordered Out

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic's panel runs herpes testing and hepatitis A, B, and C antibody testing, all scheduled and processed through the same appointment. No separate lab referral, no fragmented results coming back through different channels.

Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho in Moses Lake runs appointments for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and rapid HIV testing, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, sliding-scale fees, and Spanish-language care available alongside other interpretation services.

Read full overview Show less

Spanish Spoken, Other Languages Interpreted On-Site

Spanish is a working clinical language at this Moses Lake location, not routed through an outside service, and interpretation is available for additional languages. That operational capacity means a patient's history, test results, and treatment instructions are communicated with the same clinical precision regardless of which language anchors the conversation.

Title X Funding Makes Minor Confidentiality a Legal Guarantee

As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho is legally required to provide confidential family planning services to minors. Meaning those services are protected from parental disclosure by federal program rules, not clinic policy. That structure is built into the funding, not offered at discretion.

DoxyPEP Prescribed Alongside PrEP and PEP

Prevention prescribing at many clinics stops at PrEP, DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline regimen for bacterial STI prevention, remains outside what most offer. At this Moses Lake clinic, PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP are all prescribable, covering HIV pre-exposure, post-exposure, and bacterial prevention within a single appointment.

Confluence Health in Moses Lake is a full-service health system offering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; appointments are required, and HPV and hepatitis vaccines are available on-site.

Read full overview Show less

PrEP Prescribed and Monitored Here Directly

Confluence Health prescribes and manages PrEP with the regular lab monitoring the regimen requires (kidney function, HIV status, and STI screening built into follow-up visits) rather than outsourcing that coordination elsewhere. PEP is also available when prevention needs fall outside the daily-pill timeline.

Hepatitis C Medication Is Dispensed Here

Confluence Health's standing capability covers hepatitis C from antibody test through antiviral treatment on-site, the clinic that makes the diagnosis also carries the prescription. For someone without a primary care provider in Moses Lake, that continuity means the medication isn't contingent on a separate specialist relationship.

Hepatitis B and C Testing Alongside the Core Four

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Confluence Health tests for hepatitis B and hepatitis C in the same appointment. Useful for anyone whose exposure history calls for a wider look or who lacks a primary doctor ordering bloodwork elsewhere. TB testing rounds out the panel further.

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 Grant County tests for syphilis.

Local context

About Moses Lake, WA

West Broadway Avenue stretches through Moses Lake as the practical spine of daily life, and reaching the nearest testing option listed here means committing to a real drive, often on that same corridor or out along North Stratford Road, which shapes how seriously people weigh the decision to go. That calculus is sharpened by the local cost picture. With rent running close to nine hundred dollars a month for nearly half of households, a clinic visit competes with tight monthly budgets, especially for the large share of residents not in the higher-earning tier.

Households here also tend to be bigger than the national average, and with only about two in five adults married, a meaningful portion of those households include people in their late twenties and early thirties, the years when STI rates climb and relationship patterns shift most. When those adults are also in the workforce at the rates Moses Lake sees, a weekday appointment becomes a genuine scheduling ask rather than a casual errand. For families stretched across a large household, one person getting screened routinely can matter for everyone under that roof, and that practical ripple effect is what makes the options here worth knowing before a need becomes urgent.

What each STD test costs

Medicare reference prices per lab test, a benchmark before you pay out of pocket

These are the federal Medicare reference prices for processing each lab test. Public clinics and the community health centers serving Moses Lake often test free or on a sliding scale; private labs and at-home kits bundle several tests into one fee. Use this as a per-test benchmark before you pay out of pocket, or see the full guide to STD test costs for insurance, free, and at-home options.

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.
