In Portland, as in the rest of the nation, the three most common STDs are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. All three of these diseases have experienced significant increases in prevalence in recent years.
In 2018, there were 19,224 reported chlamydia cases in Oregon, which corresponds to a rate of 464.0 per 100,000 people. Of these cases, 11,830 were diagnosed in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro region. The rate of chlamydia in this region is 482.2, which is an increase of 3% over the previous year and a 22% increase over the rate reported in 2014. Females are disproportionately affected by this infection, accounting for 62% of reported cases in 2018.
In the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro region, there were 4,238 reported cases of gonorrhea in 2018. This corresponds to a rate of 172.8 per 100,000 people, which is a little lower than the national rate of 179.1 and considerably higher than the state rate of 142.7. Over time, the number of reported cases in this region has increased. Between 2014 and 2018, the number of reported cases increased by 183%, and between 2017 and 2018, it increased by 23%. While most cases are diagnosed in males, this infection has become increasingly common in females over the past few years. In 2014, females accounted for just 25% of reported cases. In 2018, 35% of cases were in females.
In 2018, there were 424 reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis in Oregon. Of these cases, 300 were in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro region, and all but 37 of the cases were diagnosed in males. However, the number of reported cases in females increased by nearly 20% over the number reported in 2017 and by 311% over the number reported in 2014.
In many cases, STDs, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, have no symptoms, and the only way to detect and treat them is through regular screening. Left untreated, STDs are more likely to be passed on to a partner and can cause serious long-term complications, such as infertility, certain types of cancer, a higher risk of HIV, and heart disease. Portland is home to many clinics and organizations that provide free or low-cost testing and treatment, making sexual and reproductive health service convenient and accessible.
Pivot, which is located in Prism Health, provides free on-site HIV and full-panel STD screenings to the LGBTQAI+ community.
