Known for its diverse landscape of forest, mountain, and beach, Oregon is a coastal state famous for iconic coffee, farm to table restaurants, and microbreweries. Locals love the art museums, the outdoor adventures, as well as the plethora of great colleges and universities statewide. There’s everything from Seattle’s big city living to off-the-grid communities near Bend. After exploring, from Mount Hood to the pacific coast, you’ll want to make sure that you take care of your sexual health by getting regular STD testing. Free STD Testing Centers in the beaver state are cropping up all over the place, but if you prefer discrete appointments, private STD testing is also widely available.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention1 (CDC) recommends screening for the most common STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, herpes 1, herpes 2, and HIV for both men and women. In addition, the CDC suggests women get screened for trichomoniasis.
SaferSTD recommends searching for locations that offer a 10-test panel which tests for the most common bacteria and viral STDs in the U.S. with additional premium add-ons like early HIV detection, if needed.
The CDC2 provides detailed STD testing information as to when you should get tested. In summary, you should get tested today if you are sexually active, never been tested before, have had unprotected sex in the past, or if you exhibit symptoms.
According to the World Health Organization3, the majority of STI cases reported every day, more than one million, are asymptomatic; another reason to get tested today.
You should get tested again in 90 days to rule out STDs that have specific exposure waiting times, including HIV.
STD testing can be a quick and simple process, depending on the type of test you choose and where you get tested. Some may require an oral or genital swab, a urine test or blood sample, or a physical exam to check your genital area for signs of an STD.
SaferSTD has identified preferred providers that require only a urine test, a blood sample, or both without a physical exam.
The speed at which you receive your STD testing results depends on where you get tested. Before you choose your location, find out how long testing results will take.
At-home STD testing results are usually 3-5 business days, depending on the manufacturer of your test. You also need to take into account the amount of time it takes to receive the test or pick one up, perform the test, and ship it back, before the lab can analyze your results and report back to you.
If you test at a public facility such as a neighborhood clinic, you may have to wait a week, if not more for the results, which could delay treatment. If you test through a private facility, they have the fastest turnaround within 1-3 business days.

In a state health profile compiled by the CDC, it was reported that:
HIV diagnoses have decreased by almost half between the period of 2004 and 2014. The most recent statistics for rate of infection is 19 cases per 100,000. Between 1993 and 2015 there has been an 88% increase in survival rates of those diagnosed with HIV. Despite the many gains in the fights against AIDS, Oregonians continue to have a high instance of late diagnosis HIV (already AIDS by the time of diagnosis). This is alarming and health statistics indicate this trend affects older patients, Hispanics and men who have sex with men most frequently. HIV diagnosis also frequently comes with co-infections of other STDs.
All statistics are based on cases reported and health care workers remind us that many cases go either undetected or unreported so these statistics may be low compared to actual numbers afflicted.
According to the Oregon Department of education human sexuality education takes place inside schools at an age appropriate time and in a balanced way. The comprehensive plan of instruction includes curriculum that is culturally inclusive and reflects the gender expression of today’s youth in a way that is gender sensitive.
Medically accurate information is to be provided about safe sex practices with a goal of decreasing unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. The information provided to students will not be shame-based or fear-based meaning that the abstinence-before-marriage based education that was taught to generations past will be replaced with a combination of information about abstinence as well as safe sex practices.
Health officials and parents are excited about this new and open way of instructing our youth about their sexual health. A focus on open conversation that continues to develop through different ages sets the stage for teens and young adults to feel comfortable taking care of their sexual health as they mature.
The population is changing rapidly compared to much of the United Sates. Currently there are 4 million residents with an expected 4.3 million by 2020. This shows an increase of 152% while the US rate is only increasing at a rate of 104%. The state remains much less diverse than the US overall with 11% of the population being Hispanic and less than 2% being black. A whopping 87% are white. 63% of the population are adults between 18 and 64 with a fairly equal split between children under 17 and retired persons over 65.
Parts of the state have a higher percentage than the national average who identify as LGBT (specifically Portland) and the West Coast liberal attitude encourages open expression of sexual identity which mean we see youth move to this area from more conservative states. This doesn’t mean that Oregonian openness is attractive to all residents. Just recently a sex education book made the news and created quite a stir about how much information should be given to students in the lower grades.
With the new president looking to change health-care funding, it is more important than ever that we continue to demand funding for all Americans. Currently, the CDC funds Oregon State health department with:
This funding is designated for surveillance,program implementation, service delivery, and monitoring and evaluation of infection rates.
The good news for Oregonians is that both big cities and rural communities are home to clinics and testing facilities whose goal is making personalized sexual health care easy to access and affordable for everyone. There are local options that include:
With all these options, it has never been so easy to take charge of your own sexual health and regain the peace of mind that comes with a clean bill-of-health! Remember being adventurous and open-minded doesn’t mean you can’t take the time to keep yourself healthy. Common myths include thinking your doctor will tell you when you when need to be checked or that you only need to be checked if you have symptoms. Getting checked regularly if you are sexually active, if you use injection drugs, or if you are starting a new relationship is part or your responsibility to keep yourself healthy.
