Rated 2.5 out of 5 from 150 reviews

Sea Mar Community Health Centers in Vancouver runs on a sliding scale with Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance accepted, covering the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, and TB) with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and Spanish-language care throughout.

Read full overview

Spanish Runs Through Every Clinical Layer

Spanish isn't routed through an add-on service: Sea Mar staffs clinicians who conduct exams, explain lab results, prescribe treatment, and manage follow-up care in Spanish directly. The conversation about medications, dosing, and what a result means happens between provider and patient without mediation.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where You're Already Tested

Many testing-only clinics hand HIV prevention off to a separate prescriber entirely. Sea Mar carries both PrEP and PEP as active clinical services: meaning the provider who interprets your panel can initiate, prescribe, and monitor the same prevention regimen without sending you elsewhere.

Hepatitis C Treatment Managed On-Site From Diagnosis Forward

Sea Mar's hepatitis C care doesn't end at a positive antibody result. Providers prescribe direct-acting antivirals, run the viral load monitoring required during treatment, and track sustained virologic response. The full treatment arc handled within the same clinic that ran the initial test.

Rated 2.9 out of 5 from 342 reviews

Vancouver Clinic tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, rapid and conventional, with fees charged on a sliding scale and insurance accepted. Bacterial infections are treated the same visit; appointments are required.

Read full overview

Vancouver Clinic carries both PrEP and PEP through the full clinical arc (initial prescription, follow-up lab work, and ongoing monitoring) handled by the same staff rather than handed off. PrEP requires regular HIV and kidney-function testing to stay on the medication safely, and that cycle runs entirely within the clinic.

Hepatitis C Care Goes Past the Lab Result

Vancouver Clinic holds the capacity to treat hepatitis C on-site, the antiviral course, not only the antibody screen. For someone without a primary care relationship, or paying out of pocket, that means the diagnosis and the medication come from the same place, cutting out an extra provider search entirely.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 18 reviews

Clark County Public Health in Vancouver runs every service (rapid HIV testing, hepatitis C rapid testing, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and STI self-testing) at no charge to anyone who comes in, with an appointment required and same-visit treatment available for bacterial infections.

Read full overview

Zero-Cost Care Staffed and Funded Through Public Health

The no-fee structure here is institutional, not discretionary: Clark County Public Health operates under a public health mandate that absorbs the cost of testing, rapid results, and bacterial STI treatment regardless of insurance status or income. There is no billing department making case-by-case determinations.

Hepatitis C Rapid Testing Alongside the Standard Panel

The clinic's panel includes a rapid hepatitis C antibody test alongside HIV, syphilis, and chlamydia. Meaning a single appointment surfaces both bloodborne and bacterial exposures at once. A reactive hepatitis C result from a rapid test opens the door to confirmatory follow-up and care coordination rather than leaving that step unaddressed.

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette in Vancouver runs on a sliding-scale fee, accepts Medicaid and most insurance, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections. Appointments are required. Spanish and interpretation services are available.

Read full overview

Spanish and Interpretation for Every Appointment

Spanish speakers and patients who need interpretation have direct language support at Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette, not a workaround, but a built-in part of care. For anyone whose primary language isn't English, that means discussing test results, treatment options, and prevention tools with actual comprehension, not approximation.

Title X Covers Confidential Care for Minors

As a Title X clinic, Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette provides legally confidential family planning and STI services to minors: meaning a young person without a regular provider, or one who can't involve a parent, has a clear path to testing and care that the law protects.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed On-Site

Planned Parenthood Columbia Willamette prescribes PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP directly, which means ongoing HIV prevention and bacterial STI prevention after exposure are handled at the same clinic where you test. No separate provider to track down for any of the three.

Lavender Spectrum Health in Vancouver accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, with a fee scale that adjusts to income. The clinic runs a full bacterial and viral panel (HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C) with appointments required and same-visit treatment for bacterial infections.

Read full overview

Three Prevention Prescriptions Managed at One Clinic

PrEP at Lavender Spectrum Health means ongoing prescribing and the lab monitoring, regular HIV and kidney-function tests, that sustains it safely over time. PEP is available as a full course when the window applies, and DoxyPEP, the post-exposure doxycycline protocol for bacterial STI prevention, is prescribed here rather than sent elsewhere to figure out.

Herpes and Hepatitis Testing Beyond the Standard Four

Clinics that cap their panel at HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia leave herpes simplex and all three hepatitis strains unexamined unless you seek a separate appointment elsewhere. Lavender Spectrum Health tests for herpes and for hepatitis A, B, and C in the same visit, so a single appointment produces a genuinely complete picture.

STDs & HIV in Clark County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Clark County, the county that includes Vancouver, compare with Washington and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

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.

Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

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 Clark County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in Washington Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

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).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In Washington, 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)

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.
