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.

Zero-Dollar Care Across Every Service Line
The no-fee policy at Conejo Free Clinic isn't limited to a single test or a subsidized tier: STI testing, TB testing, HIV testing, and STI treatment all carry the same price: nothing. Donations are accepted but never required, making the full scope of care available without a financial condition attached.
Herpes and Hepatitis Tested Alongside the Standard Four
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, Conejo Free Clinic tests specifically for herpes, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Three infections that commonly go undetected on narrower panels. Hepatitis C testing and hepatitis B testing are conducted on-site, and both are covered under the clinic's no-fee structure.

Conejo Valley Family Medical Group in Thousand Oaks welcomes walk-ins for STI screening, no appointment needed. Federal qualification anchors its sliding-scale fee structure, making a single visit (covering syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia testing) financially within reach based on what each patient actually earns.
Carbon Health Urgent Care in Thousand Oaks folds STI testing and treatment into an urgent-care practice, covering gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, rapid and conventional HIV, and all three hepatitis strains on a fee-with-insurance model, with walk-ins welcome and services available in Spanish.

Spanish Is a Working Clinical Language Here
Spanish is a full clinical language at Carbon Health: not a supplemental accommodation but the language in which providers explain dosing instructions, PrEP adherence schedules, and hepatitis treatment plans. For patients who navigate medical decisions in Spanish, that means nothing is lost between the exam room and the prescription.
PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP Prescribed from One Practice
Carbon Health carries standing prescribing capability for PrEP, PEP, and DoxyPEP. The full current toolkit for HIV and bacterial STI prevention. Someone without a dedicated infectious-disease provider, or paying out of pocket without an established specialist, can access all three here without coordinating across multiple practices.
Hepatitis C Antiviral Treatment Managed On-Site
Carbon Health prescribes and monitors direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C internally: meaning the provider ordering the confirmatory RNA test is also the one initiating treatment and tracking viral-load response across the cure course, rather than handing that management to a separate gastroenterology or hepatology referral.
Clinicas del Camino Real in Newbury Park tests for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV, treating bacterial infections the same visit, with fees set on a sliding scale and accepted through Medicaid, Medicare, or insurance. Appointments are required.

Spanish Spoken by Clinical Staff, Not Routed Around
Spanish-language care at Clinicas del Camino Real is built into the clinical staff itself: providers counsel, prescribe, and document in Spanish without relay. That means exposure histories, treatment plans, and follow-up instructions move through one direct conversation.
Herpes and Hepatitis C Added to the Standard Panel
Beyond gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic runs dedicated herpes and hepatitis C testing: each ordered, collected, and resulted through the clinic's own diagnostic workflow rather than screened out at intake. Hepatitis C-positive cases move into on-site treatment management from there.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 from 34 reviews
Planned Parenthood California Central Coast in Thousand Oaks runs on a sliding scale open to everyone, accepts Medicaid and most insurance, and tests for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and hepatitis C. With same-visit treatment for bacterial infections and care delivered in Spanish.
Read full overviewShow less
Planned Parenthood California Central Coast prescribes and monitors PrEP as an ongoing regimen, with follow-up labs and refills handled by the same clinical team. PEP is available for post-exposure management, and DoxyPEP, the antibiotic protocol taken after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STI risk, is prescribed here as well, not coordinated elsewhere.
Confidential Minor Care Under Title X
Many clinics require a parent or guardian in the loop before a young person can access family planning or STI services. As a Title X-funded site, Planned Parenthood California Central Coast provides legally confidential care to minors: meaning the appointment, the result, and the treatment stay private by federal protection, not just by policy.
Spanish Care Handled by This Clinic's Own Staff
When care depends on accurately conveying symptoms, exposure concerns, and treatment instructions, gaps in communication don't stay administrative. They become clinical. At Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, Spanish-language services are delivered directly, so nothing critical gets compressed, delayed, or lost between a patient and the provider managing their care.

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.

Point Dume anchors the western edge of Malibu Riviera the way it anchors the coastline: as a fixed, recognizable point around which daily life orients itself. For a community where more than three quarters of residents own their homes and just over half of adults are married, health decisions tend to be woven into household routines rather than made alone, which shapes how and when people get around to things like STI screening.
That dynamic matters because a meaningful share of Malibu's population falls in the years when chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis rates climb fastest, the late teens and twenties when relationship patterns shift and testing habits are still forming. Getting tested is not complicated in principle, but Pacific Coast Highway is the single corridor connecting most of Malibu to anywhere, and a drive to the nearest option listed on this page is a real commitment from Escondido Beach or the stretches past Kanan Dume Road. Cost pressure is less the issue here given how many households clear six figures, but time and distance along CA 1 are genuine considerations for someone with a full schedule.
Los Angeles County carries a substantial STI caseload, and Malibu residents are part of that county picture regardless of the coastline between them and a clinic. Staying current with screening means someone living off Point Dume or along the Riviera isn't left finding out about an exposure months too late.

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.
