HIV or Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) Testing

If you are looking for STI testing, or HIV testing through a healthcare provider, you can make an appointment through the Community Health Centers of Benton and Linn Counties.

Community Health Centers

If you think you’ve recently been exposed to HIV

Either during sex or through sharing needles and/or methods to prepare drugs, or if you’ve been sexually assaulted, seek medical care right away (Urgent Care, Quick Care, the emergency room, or your local care provider). They can prescribe a medication to stop HIV infection.

Medication must be started within 72 hours after a possible exposure to HIV.

Condoms and safer sex supplies

With the One at Home Program, Oregon residents can receive a free envelope of condoms and lube delivered discreetly to their door, up to twice per month.

One at Home

Benton County Harm Reduction also offers free safer sex supplies by mail. They come in a discreet package, right to your door. Condoms and dental dams are a great tool in the fight against HIV and other STIs.

    Needle exchange and syringe services

    Overdose prevention and fentanyl education

    Signs of overdose include pale/blue skin, small or constricted pupils, loss of consciousness, and shallow breathing. Naloxone/Narcan can help prevent a fatal overdose.

    Carrying Narcan does not increase drug use, it only saves the lives of those who could overdose on drugs. 

    You can access free naloxone/Narcan at pharmacies and health clinics throughout Oregon or by reaching out to Benton County Harm Reduction Program.
