How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest in Portland tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, and HIV, treating bacterial infections the same visit, with HPV and hepatitis A and B vaccines available, all at no fee, by appointment.

Every Dollar Barrier, Removed at the Door
When cost enters the equation, care gets delayed: tests go unscheduled, follow-ups get skipped, and infections run longer than they should. At Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, nothing on the service list carries a charge: testing, treatment, vaccines, counseling. All of it free, every time.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares the Same Address as STI Care
Without both needs addressed in one place, a person often ends up with one condition treated and the other handed off: meaning gaps, delays, and conditions that reinforce each other go unmanaged. Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest holds substance-use treatment and STI care in the same program, so neither gets deferred.
Herpes Testing Included Where Most Panels Stop
The standard four-infection panel leaves herpes off the list entirely, which means a visit elsewhere can return clean results while an active infection goes unnamed. Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest runs herpes testing alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Closing that diagnostic gap at the same appointment.
ZoomCare in Portland tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C on a sliding-scale fee with insurance accepted; appointments are required, and bacterial STIs can be treated the same visit.

Herpes and Hepatitis Expand the Standard Panel
ZoomCare tests for herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside the core bacterial and viral infections. Meaning a single appointment can surface conditions that a narrower panel would leave undetected and unaddressed until symptoms escalate.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed at ZoomCare
Without access to all three options at one clinic, a Portland patient piecing together PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP can end up cycling through multiple providers with gaps between prescriptions. ZoomCare holds all three, so prevention stays continuous rather than contingent on another appointment elsewhere.
ZoomCare in Portland offers interpretation services for non-English languages, which means nuanced clinical conversations (medication adherence counseling for PrEP, DoxyPEP dosing context) can proceed in a patient's primary language without compressing that detail.

Carreon Health in Portland functions as a dedicated clinical site where the full STI panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis A, B, and C) runs on a sliding-scale fee with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections; appointments are required, and care is delivered in Spanish.
Read full overviewShow less
Spanish Is the Working Language Here
Carreon Health delivers care in Spanish, meaning every clinical conversation, from test counseling to treatment planning, happens directly between provider and patient without an intermediary shaping the exchange. That directness keeps medication instructions, dosing questions, and follow-up timelines clear from the start.
Prevention Without the Second Appointment
Splitting prevention across multiple providers means delays, duplicate intake paperwork, and gaps between the moment a need is identified and the moment it's addressed. At Carreon Health, PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP are all prescribed on-site. Every prevention tool in a single clinical relationship rather than a chain of separate referrals.
Hepatitis C Treatment Managed Through Carreon Health
Carreon Health carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, which means a reactive antibody result moves directly into a treatment conversation at the same clinic. Patients with confirmed active infection can begin a curative antiviral course, typically a direct-acting regimen, without being routed to a separate gastroenterology or infectious disease practice.
Cascadia Garlington Health Center in Portland carries federally qualified status, which translates directly into income-based sliding-scale fees for STI screening (syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) with no appointment required to walk in and get tested.

Interpretation Services Extend to Every Clinical Conversation
Legacy Medical Group carries interpretation support across its services, which means someone navigating PrEP counseling, medication adherence education, or a TB treatment plan can do so in their own language. Not around it. That standing capability shapes the entire care relationship, not just the intake moment.
PrEP and PEP Are Both Prescribed On-Site
Legacy Medical Group prescribes both PrEP and PEP directly, so prevention medication is part of the same clinical relationship as testing. Meaning ongoing PrEP management and adherence counseling stay with one provider rather than splitting across separate appointments.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Through Legacy's Own Providers
For someone without a regular specialist or primary care relationship, Legacy Medical Group's on-site hepatitis C treatment is the practical answer. The same clinic that runs the antibody test also manages the antiviral course, keeping the path from diagnosis to cleared infection in one place.

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.

Multnomah County recorded 13.7 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Multnomah County residents living with HIV, 86.9% are in care · 78.7% 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.
Pregnant or planning to be?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 Multnomah County tests for syphilis.

Portland's name reflects the coin toss that could have made it Boston, a small gamble that shaped a city known for pragmatism and directness. That same straightforwardness marks how the city approaches sexual health. Testing venues in and around Portland listed on this page serve a population where many are establishing careers, navigating relationships, and making decisions about their bodies without fanfare or delay. The neighborhoods spanning from Irvington to the Lloyd District draw young adults building lives in a place where income stability often means fewer barriers to care.
Confidentiality here isn't treated as an exception, it's the baseline. Clinics understand that discretion matters not because shame drives the choice to test, but because privacy is simply expected in a city where people value straightforward, judgment-free transactions. Getting tested fits naturally into Portland's rhythm: a health maintenance task, no different from a dental visit or an eye exam. The providers available in and around the city recognize that routine screening catches infections early, when treatment is most effective, and that many people simply want reliable results without ceremony or delay.

Confidentiality & consent in OregonMinor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately
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).
Can a minor consent on their own?
In Oregon, 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)
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.
