The fifth-largest city in the state of Oregon. The county seat of Washington County. Hillsboro lies just to the west of popular Portland and has many appealing features. Unfortunately, you’ll also find rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases in the area.
Washington County had an HIV prevalence rate of 169.8 per 100K people in 2016. This was a bit under Oregon’s rate of 195.
Also, in 2016, the county had a chlamydia rate of 393, below the state’s rate of 432.5. The county had gonorrhea and (primary and secondary) syphilis rates of 79.6 and 8.5. Much like the rest of the country, most syphilis sufferers in Oregon are men, while women make up over two-thirds of chlamydia patients.
Health officials in Hillsboro urge all sexually active people to use protection every time they have sex. It’s important to get tested regularly, even if you are not experiencing symptoms. This is because most STDs are asymptomatic in the early stages. If left untreated, they can cause irreversible damage to the body. Plus, you run the risk of passing them along to others.
To get tested in the Hillsboro area, check out these affordable options. Washington County Health Services is on Main Street. Over in Beaverton, there’s an AFC Urgent Care that offers fast STD testing. Beaverton also has a Planned Parenthood.

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.

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.

One of the best ways to prevent the spread of STDs is to include comprehensive sex education programs in the public school systems, but Hillsboro still uses outdate information that pushes abstinence until marriage.
Current issues such as online dating, “sexting” and even “hookups” are not discussed, and most programs do not include any information on the importance of always wearing protection during intercourse. Without the information students need to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases they and their families will continue to be at risk.
As of 2015 school board members are reviewing the information taught in the district’s sex education classes, but do to parental protest any changes being made to the program is slim. This means that students will continue to put themselves at risk without even knowing it.
Not only will comprehensive sex education programs help lower STD percentages, it can also help reduce the teen pregnancy rate. Contraceptives not only help to protect against STDs, it can also prevent unplanned pregnancies.
As long as the importance of regular Herpes testing in Hillsboro is not covered, students will continue to be at a high risk for infection. Regular HIV testing in Hillsboro is also important, especially considering the growing number of residents that test positive each year.

There are several reasons why the STD rate in the city and county are rising, and the lack of available information is one. Teens and even adults often do not realize that their behavior is increasing their risk for contracting a STI, especially since it is not uncommon for them to not understand how these infectious diseases are spread.
This also means that many residents do not realize how important it is to be tested on a regular basis, even if they are not sexually active.
The city’s rural location has resulted in a lack of community health centers, and recent budget cuts has made it difficult for the few that are there to stay open. Limited office hours and a lack of qualified staff are other problems that are making it hard for residents to get the health care that they need.
Teens are engaging in sexual activities at a younger age, and this is also contributing to the high number of STDs reported each year. Apps for dating and quick hookups are gaining in popularity among all age groups, and this is being partially blamed for the rising number of adults who are testing positive for Syphilis.
The rising Syphilis and HIV rates are also due to an increase in the use of illicit drugs. With users not only sharing needles, but also engaging in unprotected sex. As long as this and other risky behavior continues and residents do not see the importance in regular testing, this small city will continue to have a problem.
While exploring the trails and nearby wetlands is preferable to waiting in a long line at the community health center, it is still important to take care of your sexual health. If you have been putting off this checkup due to overcrowded waiting rooms, you now have a faster and more convenient option. With just one phone call you can schedule confidential STD testing and only spend a few minutes at a nearby lab, which still gives you plenty of time to explore all that this rural city has to offer.
