7716 South Alameda Street, Huntington Park, CA 90255
South Central Family Health Center, a family practice in Huntington Park, requires an appointment, and a single visit covers gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV testing, same-visit bacterial treatment, sliding-scale fees for all, and care delivered in Spanish.

Herpes and Hepatitis A, B, and C Tested On-Site
The testing panel at South Central Family Health Center reaches beyond the standard four to include herpes and hepatitis A, B, and C. Meaning a single appointment can surface infections that a narrower panel would leave undetected and untreated.
DoxyPEP Prescribed Here When Other Clinics Don't
Bacterial STI prevention through DoxyPEP remains unavailable at many clinics that offer PrEP or PEP in isolation. South Central Family Health Center prescribes all three (PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP) giving patients a fuller toolkit for ongoing HIV and bacterial STI prevention without seeking separate providers.
Clinical Staff Conduct Visits Entirely in Spanish
Spanish isn't a supplemental accommodation at South Central Family Health Center, it is the operational language of care. Discussions about PrEP adherence schedules, DoxyPEP timing, and STI treatment are conducted directly in Spanish by staff, not relayed through an intermediary.
St. Johns Community Health, a community health center in Los Angeles, anchors STI care within full primary care infrastructure: covering HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, hepatitis B and C, and TB on a sliding-scale fee, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections, by appointment, in Spanish.

Spanish Is a Clinical Language Here
St. Johns Community Health delivers care in Spanish at the clinical level, not as an accommodation but as a standard operating language. That means history-taking, counseling, treatment explanation, and follow-up planning all happen in Spanish, without a relay step between patient and provider.
PrEP and PEP Without a Separate Appointment Elsewhere
Splitting HIV prevention across multiple providers creates gaps, a missed PEP dose while awaiting a specialist, a PrEP prescription delayed by a second intake process. St. Johns Community Health prescribes and manages both PrEP and PEP on-site in Los Angeles, keeping prevention continuous within the same care relationship.
Hepatitis C Treatment Begins Here
St. Johns Community Health treats hepatitis C on-site, which means a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a treatment plan without a separate gastroenterology or infectious disease referral. Compressing the timeline between detection and cure.
UMMA Community Clinic in Los Angeles delivers STI care (including gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes testing) on a sliding scale with same-visit bacterial treatment; appointments are required, and services are available in Spanish.

Spanish-Language Care, No Second Stop
Without Spanish-language care built into a clinic, a patient navigating results, treatment options, or PrEP counseling faces a fractured process. Partial information at one stop, a follow-up call somewhere else. UMMA Community Clinic in Los Angeles closes that gap directly: STI care, counseling, and prevention conversations happen in Spanish, without a handoff.
PrEP and PEP Prescribed On-Site
UMMA Community Clinic in Los Angeles prescribes both PrEP, daily oral medication that blocks HIV acquisition, and PEP, the post-exposure course that must be initiated and monitored with clinical support. Having both under one prescribing team means medication adherence counseling, which UMMA explicitly provides, is folded into ongoing HIV prevention rather than treated as an afterthought.
Herpes and Hepatitis C Beyond the Basic Four
Clinics that test only gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV leave herpes and hepatitis C as gaps a patient has to fill elsewhere. UMMA Community Clinic in Los Angeles runs both herpes and hepatitis C testing alongside the standard panel, so a single appointment produces a fuller picture rather than a partial one.

UMMA Health Administrative Offices in Huntington Park extends federally qualified status into everyday STI care for people paying out of pocket, caught between insurance gaps, or simply budgeting carefully. Sliding-scale fees bring syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia screening within reach without requiring an appointment.
Central City Community Health Center in Los Angeles runs on a sliding-scale fee structure and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and most insurance, covering the full bacterial and viral panel (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis A, B, and C, TB, and rapid HIV) by appointment, with same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and PrEP and PEP on-site.
Read full overviewShow less
Many testing sites hand prevention off to a separate prescriber, leaving patients to navigate a second intake process elsewhere. At Central City Community Health Center, both PrEP and PEP are written and managed in-house. The same clinical relationship that handles your testing handles your prevention medication.
Hepatitis C Treatment Runs Its Full Course Here
When hepatitis C is detected at Central City Community Health Center in Los Angeles, the clinic moves directly into treatment: prescribing antivirals and monitoring viral-load response through the full course, with the same providers managing both the diagnosis and the clearance.
Substance-Use Treatment Shares a Roof with STI Care
Central City Community Health Center offers substance-use treatment alongside STI services, which means a patient managing both concerns can maintain a single clinical relationship rather than splitting care across separate providers and separate records.
Beyond the dedicated testing centers above: at-home kits by mail, hospital labs certified for STI testing, local clinicians who can order a panel during a regular visit, pharmacies for self-test kits and prescriptions, and online PrEP & treatment.
The nearest testing center is less than a mile away, if you'd rather skip the trip, an at-home kit ships to Florence-Graham, you collect the sample privately, and mail it back to a CLIA-certified lab.

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 HIV care continuum (2023)
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.

East Florence Avenue cuts through a community where large households share relatively modest square footage, and for younger adults navigating early relationships in that kind of close-quartered life, routine screening rarely feels like a scheduled priority. Florence-Graham runs heavily on rental housing, with nearly two-thirds of residents leasing rather than owning, and typical rents already absorbing a meaningful slice of household budgets. With a relatively small share of households reaching the six-figure income mark and unemployment running noticeably above state norms, the cost calculus around an unplanned health visit matters here.
Average households are large, often multi-generational, and the under-35 crowd making up a substantial portion of the population is still sorting out work schedules, childcare arrangements, and whether a weekday appointment is even possible given a labor-force participation rate that means most adults are working, or actively looking. Screening options that are low-cost and carry flexible hours close that gap in a way that generic advice simply cannot. Knowing which clinic is actually reachable by the route you already travel, on a day your schedule permits, is what turns a listed option into a kept appointment.

Confidentiality & consent in CaliforniaMinor 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.
