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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Adams County, the county that includes Othello, compare with Washington and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~29% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#1 of 39 Washington counties for chlamydia, among the very highest in the state
| Infection | Adams County | Washington | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 927 193 cases ▲ 162% | 354.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 57.6 12 cases ▼ 56% | 129.6 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 14.4 3 cases ▼ 32% | 21.3 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 28.8 6 cases ▲ 130% | 12.5 | 16 |

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 Adams County, chlamydia has risen from 305.6 to 927 per 100,000 (203%), gonorrhea has risen from 43.7 to 57.6 per 100,000 (32%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 4.9 to 14.4 per 100,000 (194%).

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 Adams County.
Local HIV snapshot
Adams County HIV care continuum (2021)
Adams County recorded 0 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2021), against 6.3 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Adams County residents living with HIV, 58.8% are in care · 41.2% 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.
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 Adams County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Triangle Park sits at a quiet edge of Othello where kids cut through on their way to the corner store and neighbors linger on front porches in the long summer evenings. It's the kind of place that reflects how this town actually functions: rooted, closely knit, built around households that run larger than the national average and where more than half of adults are married. That household density means people's schedules are rarely their own alone, and with a meaningful share of residents renting at rents that leave little room for unexpected costs, an out-of-pocket clinic visit can feel like a real calculation rather than a routine errand.
That calculation lands hardest on younger adults in their late teens and twenties, the years when new relationships, social change, and limited health literacy intersect with the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and other STIs. Adams County's STI numbers give that age reality a local weight. With labor-force participation solid but unemployment still a factor for some households, and with fewer than one in five households clearing six figures, the options listed here that offer sliding-scale or no-cost visits aren't just convenient; they're the ones residents are most likely to actually use.
South Broadway Avenue runs straight through the center of Othello and connects most of the city's residential blocks to the main travel corridors heading out of Adams County. Bookmarking the nearest listed clinic before you need it, while you're already thinking about it, is the most Othello-specific version of a plan that works.

Source: Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule, CMS, 2025 rates (data.cms.gov). Reference rate for the lab assay only: a clinic visit, sample collection, or a bundled multi-test panel may cost more. Medicaid and most insurers cover STD screening at no out-of-pocket cost.
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).
In Washington, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
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.
