How to read these listings
Listings tagged Community health center are federally funded health centers and rural clinics that treat everyone regardless of insurance or ability to pay: required to bill on a sliding fee scale and provide confidential care, and in many states minors may consent to their own STI testing. A Title X tag flags centers funded for confidential family-planning services; confirm current participation when you call.

PrEP and PEP Available Directly Here
Sexual health clinics that test and treat often stop short of writing prevention prescriptions, leaving patients to chase a separate provider. Central City Community Health Center in Baldwin Park closes that gap, PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention and PEP are both available here, not elsewhere in the system.
Herpes and Hepatitis Included in the Panel
The testing panel at Central City Community Health Center runs blood draws and cultures for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C alongside the core bacterial and HIV tests. Meaning a single appointment generates results across infections that would otherwise require separate clinical visits to catch.

Spanish Spoken, Interpretation Beyond That
Spanish is spoken directly at this clinic, with interpretation services available for other languages: meaning the conversation about symptoms, prevention, or a new prescription happens with actual fluency rather than delay, and nothing gets lost when the details matter most.
Title X Confidentiality Covers Minors Here
This is a Title X family planning site, which carries a specific legal consequence: services for minors are confidential by federal mandate, not just by policy, so a teenager's visit, test result, or prescription stays off a parent's account.
DoxyPEP Sits Alongside PrEP and PEP
Plenty of clinics prescribe PrEP and leave DoxyPEP off the table entirely: Planned Parenthood Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley in Baldwin Park offers all three: PrEP for ongoing HIV prevention, PEP for post-exposure HIV management, and DoxyPEP for bacterial STI prevention after exposure.

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.

Among Los Angeles County residents living with HIV, 91.6% know their status · 72.8% are in care · 65.2% are virally suppressed.

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 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.
