La Clinica in Medford tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and all three hepatitis strains on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone; bacterial STIs are treated the same visit, and appointments are required. Staff speak Spanish, with interpretation available for other languages.

At La Clinica in Medford, Spanish is spoken directly by staff, and on-site interpretation extends to other languages: meaning the conversation about symptoms, treatment, and follow-up stays intact and unmediated.
La Clinica in Medford prescribes both PrEP and PEP as routine parts of its sexual health care, which means ongoing HIV prevention is built into the same appointment as testing, eliminating the need to coordinate with a separate prescriber.
For someone paying cash or without a regular specialist, La Clinica in Medford's standing capacity to treat hepatitis C on-site, not just detect it, closes the gap between a confirmed diagnosis and access to the medication that clears it.

Asante in Medford tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted; same-visit treatment is available for bacterial STIs, and appointments are required.
Asante's clinical staff prescribe and monitor PrEP directly: meaning labs, follow-up visits, and prescription renewals are handled within the same practice. PEP is similarly staffed here, with providers who manage dosing and duration rather than routing patients elsewhere.
A hepatitis C diagnosis without a treatment provider means a second appointment at a different practice, a new intake process, and weeks of delay while the infection progresses. At Asante in Medford, antiviral treatment for hepatitis C is available on-site. The same clinic that finds it can clear it.
Leaving herpes or hepatitis A, B, or C off a testing visit means returning to a separate provider when symptoms or exposure history make those infections relevant. With a new intake and additional wait. Asante's panel covers all three hepatitis strains, herpes, TB, and the core bacterial infections in a single appointment.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Jackson County, the county that includes Phoenix, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~17% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#15 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 58% of the state
| Infection | Jackson County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 280.8 620 cases ▼ 23% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 75.2 166 cases ▼ 36% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 8.6 19 cases ▼ 55% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 2.3 5 cases ▼ 76% | 9.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 10.9 24 cases ▼ 45% | 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 Jackson County, chlamydia has fallen from 327.4 to 280.8 per 100,000 (14%), gonorrhea has fallen from 140.6 to 75.2 per 100,000 (47%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 17 to 8.6 per 100,000 (49%).

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 Jackson County.
Local HIV snapshot
Jackson County HIV care continuum (2023)
Jackson County recorded 6.8 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Jackson County residents living with HIV, 84.6% are in care · 75.5% 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 Jackson County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
The South Oakdale Historic District anchors a Phoenix where most residents have put down genuine roots, owning their homes, raising households that average closer to three people than two. That kind of settled, family-oriented community can make routine health maintenance feel lower-stakes to schedule, yet the share of residents in their late teens and twenties, the years when STI rates run highest nationally, is still a real presence along North Main Street and through the neighborhoods that stretch toward Barneburg Hill. What complicates access here isn't distance so much as economics and time.
With fewer than half of working-age residents in the labor force and unemployment running notably above comfortable, a $30 or $50 out-of-pocket cost for screening lands differently when rent already consumes a meaningful slice of a modest monthly budget. For younger adults still sorting out jobs, relationships, and healthcare coverage, the most useful move is practical: pull up the clinic list, filter by sliding-scale fee, and confirm same-week availability before leaving the Tombstone area on any given afternoon.
Getting there
Phoenix scores 12.04/20 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.
