STD Services

STD Clinic

We provide evaluation and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases (this can include a confidential HIV test). Our services are nonjudgmental and confidential, and no one is turned away for inability to pay.

If you are hearing impaired or speak another language, we can arrange an interpreter.

Who should be tested for STDs

STD testing is recommended for anyone engaging in vaginal, oral, and/or anal sex without a condom, particularly when having sex with multiple partners. Some STDs such as HIV and Hepatitis B can also be spread by sharing injection drug gear.

In Oregon, teens can consent to HIV and STD testing and treatment without a parent’s permission.

Conditions we check for:

• Gonorrhea
• Chlamydia
• Syphilis
• HIV - Offered confidentially as part of STD exam. Low-cost testing available at HIV community test sites»
• HPV (genital warts) - Visual check only, no treatment.
• Herpes - Visual check

What to Expect at Your Visit

The way we check for STDs depends on what tests you want or need. We might need to check your urine, blood, or body (genitals, skin or mouth).

Gonorrhea and Chlamydia may not show up on a test for 4-7 days after a possible exposure. HIV and syphilis may not show up for 3 months, but can show up as early as 2 weeks.
