Samaritan Health Services in Toledo runs STI care alongside its broader primary-care mission, testing for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee. Appointments are required, bacterial infections are treated the same visit, and PrEP and PEP are available on-site.
Samaritan Health Services prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, meaning ongoing prevention and urgent post-exposure medication come from the same provider who already knows your history. No separate prescriber to track down.
Without a regular primary-care provider, getting herpes or hepatitis testing often means piecing together separate appointments elsewhere. Samaritan's panel covers hepatitis A, B, and C alongside herpes, so a single visit addresses infections that a basic four-test panel leaves out entirely.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Lincoln County, the county that includes Newport, 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.
#28 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 22% of the state
| Infection | Lincoln County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 159.4 81 cases ▼ 56% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 41.3 21 cases ▼ 65% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 13.8 7 cases ▼ 28% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2 1 cases ▼ 79% | 9.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 17.7 9 cases ▼ 10% | 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 Lincoln County, chlamydia has fallen from 198.4 to 159.4 per 100,000 (20%), gonorrhea has fallen from 65.5 to 41.3 per 100,000 (37%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4 to 13.8 per 100,000 (245%).

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 Lincoln County.
Local HIV snapshot
Lincoln County HIV care continuum (2023)
Among Lincoln County residents living with HIV, 90% are in care · 85% 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 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 Lincoln County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Nye Beach's mix of year-round residents and working households gives Newport a genuinely layered character, one that shapes how realistically people can fit a clinic visit into their week. With fewer than one in six households bringing in six figures, cost is a real consideration, and the options listed on this page include low- and no-cost appointments that make screening accessible regardless of budget. Just over half of Newport's adults own their homes, which means a substantial share are renters, many of them younger adults in their twenties and early thirties, the years when STI rates run highest and when forming new relationships makes regular testing genuinely useful rather than just precautionary.
That age group is smaller here than in college towns, but they live alongside families averaging nearly three people per household, and county STI data for Lincoln County makes clear that testing gaps affect the wider community, not just any single demographic. Labor-force participation in Newport runs well below the national norm, a pattern common in coastal Oregon towns where seasonal work, tourism employment, and caregiving responsibilities pull many adults outside conventional nine-to-five schedules. Getting to a clinic can mean driving US 101 south past the Oregon Coast Aquarium toward South Beach, or heading inland on US 20 toward a facility beyond Newport's limits.
Getting there
Newport scores 13.67/20 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.
