Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic in Salem tests for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, and HIV on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone; appointments are required, and bacterial STIs are treated the same visit.
Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic carries Spanish-language capacity on staff, not sourced through an external service, and maintains interpretation for additional non-English languages as needed. Clinical conversations (symptom history, treatment instructions, follow-up plans) happen in the language the clinic is actually resourced to deliver.
The testing panel at Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic extends to herpes simplex and hepatitis A, B, and C alongside gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and HIV. infections in a single appointment. That breadth means a condition like hepatitis C, which often travels without obvious symptoms, gets named rather than missed.

HIV Alliance in Salem runs its full testing panel (rapid HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis) with HIV counseling included and all services provided at no fee, on a sliding scale for broader care, by appointment.
For anyone managing care without insurance, without a regular provider, or simply paying out of pocket, HIV Alliance absorbs the cost entirely: testing, counseling, PrEP, PEP, and hepatitis C treatment all land at no charge, with no sliding-scale calculation required.
Many clinics handle Spanish through a remote interpreter, which means pauses, repetition, and a layer of distance in conversations that require precision. HIV Alliance in Salem delivers care directly in Spanish (counseling, education, and medical discussion included) so nothing gets lost in the relay.
HIV Alliance in Salem prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP directly, which means a patient who decides to start prevention medication leaves with an actual plan. Not a referral to chase down elsewhere.

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette in Salem pairs its full STI panel (rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes) with same-visit bacterial treatment on a sliding-scale fee open to all, by appointment, with Spanish-language care and interpretation available throughout.
Spanish is commonly listed as an afterthought at many clinics, a service called in rather than built into the visit. At Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette, Spanish is a native language of care, and interpretation extends to additional languages so that the conversation about testing, treatment, and prevention happens without a barrier in the room.
As a federally designated Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette extends legally confidential family planning services to minors: meaning the visit, the results, and any treatment exist outside a parent's insurance or billing record by law, not just by policy.
DoxyPEP, the doxycycline-based post-exposure regimen targeting bacterial STIs, sits alongside PrEP and PEP in Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette's prevention formulary, giving patients access to all three named protocols through a single prescribing relationship rather than separate specialist referrals.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Marion County, the county that includes Silverton, compare with Oregon and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~22% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#4 of 36 Oregon counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 89% of the state
| Infection | Marion County | Oregon | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 472.7 1,639 cases ▲ 30% | 362.5 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 79.3 275 cases ▼ 32% | 117.2 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 25.7 89 cases ▲ 34% | 19.2 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 5.5 19 cases ▼ 43% | 9.6 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 34 118 cases ▲ 73% | 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 Marion County, chlamydia has fallen from 474.1 to 472.7 per 100,000 (0%), gonorrhea has fallen from 165.6 to 79.3 per 100,000 (52%), and P&S syphilis has risen from 15.9 to 25.7 per 100,000 (62%).

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 Marion County.
Local HIV snapshot
Marion County HIV care continuum (2023)
Marion County recorded 8.3 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 6.6 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Marion County residents living with HIV, 84.5% are in care · 75.6% 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 Marion County tests for syphilis.

Data & references
Local context
Old Mill Park sits at the quieter end of town, where OR 214 curves past the creek and the pace feels genuinely unhurried. Getting to an STI clinic, though, asks more of Silverton residents than a short stroll: the options listed on this page require a real drive out of town, which matters most on a weekday when work schedules are already stretched thin. That stretch is real for a meaningful share of households here. With unemployment running notably above typical Oregon benchmarks and fewer than three in ten households clearing six figures, cost is a practical consideration, not a background one.
The town leans toward ownership, with most residents having roots in the same address for years, but the third who rent are managing on a monthly budget that leaves little room for an unplanned medical bill. Silverton's younger adults, the people in their late teens and twenties who face the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea nationally, are part of households that average over three people, meaning a positive result touches more than one life quickly. For a renting household already watching a rent that sits just under a thousand dollars monthly, knowing upfront which listed clinic offers free or income-adjusted testing is the most concrete thing this page can offer them.
Getting there
At 8.4/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Silverton generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

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 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.
