Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 299 reviews

East Valley Community Health Center in Covina runs by appointment, so every visit is structured around your time: covering the full panel, gonorrhea and chlamydia treated same day, vaccines, and HIV medical management, with all services provided at no fee.

Read full overview

Every Service Runs on Zero Cost

Every test, treatment, and counseling session at East Valley carries no charge, which means the scope of care you receive isn't shaped by what you can afford to add to the visit. You book the appointment you need, not a trimmed version of it.

Spanish-Language Care Is Staffed, Not Sourced

East Valley operates with on-site Spanish-language capacity and interpretation services for other languages, so treatment conversations, medication adherence counseling, and follow-up planning happen in real time without a lag. That operational fluency runs through every clinical touchpoint, not just check-in.

Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four

Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, East Valley runs herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C testing in the same appointment. Those additional tests are ordered, processed, and reviewed through the same clinical workflow. No separate referral chain or secondary scheduling required.

El Proyecto Del Barrio in Irwindale runs on a sliding scale and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, covering rapid HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis A/B/C, and TB: by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial STIs, and full services delivered in Spanish.

Read full overview

Spanish Is the Working Language Here

Spanish is an operational language at El Proyecto Del Barrio, not a supplemental accommodation. Every clinical encounter, from PrEP counseling to hepatitis C treatment planning, runs in Spanish, which means nuanced conversations about dosing, monitoring, and prevention happen without translation lag or loss.

PrEP and PEP Prescribed Where Most Clinics Refer Out

Prevention prescribing, both PrEP for ongoing HIV risk reduction and PEP for post-exposure management, sits outside the scope of most STI-focused clinics, which hand it off elsewhere. El Proyecto Del Barrio writes and manages those prescriptions directly, keeping prevention and testing in the same clinical relationship.

Hepatitis C Treatment Managed On-Site

El Proyecto Del Barrio carries hepatitis C care through to treatment, not just antibody screening. Antiviral therapy is managed at the clinic, meaning a reactive test result moves into a treatment plan without a separate provider, a separate intake, or a separate wait.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 12 reviews

Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley in Glendora tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis B and C on a sliding-scale fee open to everyone; bacterial infections can be treated the same visit, and appointments are required.

Read full overview

Spanish Spoken, Not Patched Together

Spanish speakers and those needing interpretation have direct, staffed language access at this clinic. Not a workaround arranged mid-appointment. Whether discussing PrEP eligibility, STI results, or follow-up treatment, the conversation happens in the language the care decision is actually being made in.

Title X Covers Minors With Legal Confidentiality

Without Title X, a minor seeking STI testing or family planning often faces a billing trail back to a parent's insurance, or no care at all. At Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley in Glendora, Title X funding makes those services legally confidential for minors, closing that gap before it becomes an untreated infection.

PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed and Monitored Here

PrEP requires baseline HIV and kidney-function testing, a prescription, and periodic monitoring. All handled at this clinic rather than split across providers. DoxyPEP is prescribed for post-exposure bacterial STI prevention, and PEP is available for HIV prevention, each managed within the clinic's own care cycle.

STDs & HIV in Los Angeles County: the local picture

How reported STI rates in Los Angeles County, the county that includes Covina, compare with California and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data.

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.

Los Angeles County recorded 19.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.9 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Los Angeles County residents living with HIV, 91.6% know their status · 72.8% are in care · 65.2% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.

Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.

Pregnant or planning to be? Congenital syphilis is the fastest-rising STI: what to test, and when

Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Los Angeles County tests for syphilis.

Confidentiality & consent in California Minor consent and partner treatment (EPT) under state law, plus how to test privately

Two things that actually depend on California law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).

Can a minor consent on their own?

In California, a minor aged 12 or older can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.

Can my partner be treated too? (EPT)

California permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.

Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
